I said we will lose if they stick around. Francis and Shandon played a great game, Hakeem did good at times but other than that the rest of the team was like ****. Cuttino got shut down by a rookie. Taking fadeaway 3s , going inside getting blocked. Also What I want to know is why does Cuttino shoot the game winning or tieing shots? Isnt Steve going to get his chance to take the last shots ? ------------------ "You look a team that's been to the mountaintop like the Houston Rockets, I'm going to put pressure on myself to be the best possible player that I can be.

There are no excuses for this game. Mobley should not play in the fourth. In my mind, he cost the rockets the game. If he had just made one pass on that last play, there would have been an open shot. The Rockets essentially lost to a college team. Looks like a blowout loss tomorrow. We will probably not see an above .500 Rockets team this year, because the they ignore the bad teams, and therefore, are bad themselves.

This was just one of the worst Rox games I've ever seen.... I also think that Francis should get some of the game winning shots, but I think Cat gets them mostly becuz he's usually pretty clutch. ------------------ president of the dan langhi fan club.
Apparently, you don't remember his very first NBA game... Heck, at least he gave the Rockets a CHANCE to win tonight...The only worse thing than a shooter having an off night is a shooter that's afraid to shoot.... ------------------ If you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding!!
ZRB - Its only one game , you act like the season is over. To early to post that , wait for 1 month then you can post it with people not caring. Right now its too early, we got some believers out there somewhere in the woods. ------------------ "You look a team that's been to the mountaintop like the Houston Rockets, I'm going to put pressure on myself to be the best possible player that I can be.

I know mobley is clutch, I remember everything Mobley has done. Im just saying, when a guy is having an off night taking wild shots, he shouldnt take the shot. Francis I believe needs to take the shots, he is the franchise player and he needs to start getting the ball at the end situations. ------------------ "You look a team that's been to the mountaintop like the Houston Rockets, I'm going to put pressure on myself to be the best possible player that I can be.

I'm just extra pissed off that they lost THIS game. I've never seen the Rockets play the Clippers before, and it seems like they always win. Then the one Clipper game I get to see, they lose. But we do have reason to worry. With this, the Rockets could end up 1-6 after the next 4 games. Phoenix, LA, Portland and LA again. The last thing the Rockets need is a bad start. It looks like they will have one. ------------------ 2000-2001 Rockets Game Formulas: End of 1st quarter: "They're playing so well!" 2nd: "What a great game!" 3rd: "Theres no way they can lose now!" 4th: "What the ******* **** happened?!!"

What happened to passing the ball around until you find the open man? What I saw in this game was way too much one on one street ball. I know it's still too early to jump to conclusions, but we don't seem to be playing as a team. Maybe, I'm just not used to this new offense yet. In fairness, the team did have an off night scoring. When Dream misses a point blank slam, you know it's going to be a long night. We'll get them next time. ------------------
