    We do poorly in OT and in 4th qtr's mostly because to beat good teams we have to out hustle them since we are usually at a deficit in compared talent. I think we just run out of gas late and cant keep it up for 48 minutes. We had early leads in several of our latest games, only to lose them in the 2nd half. The only fix is to upgrade talent. And I really dont blame them for this cause its understandable that you cant go through a whole season expecting to out hustle every team you play. NOT.

    RA is a good coach not great. And that is why he is not great, he doesnt know how to make mid/late game adjustment. There is no way we should of stayefod with that line up for the whole stretch, especially when scola is late on rotation every time and Milsap is abusing him repeatably

    0-5 for the season.

    If we win these 5, we are 27-23 for the season and right in the middle of the playoff hunt.

    Just saying.

    We are not that far away, but I felt going into overtime that we were going to lose this one for sure. :(

    No closer. And our best scorer is scared to touch the ball as some implies.

    Remember early on the year we use to run a play with Hayes with the ball in the High post Scola Low post and KMart going around Scola. That play was money, but after Hayes miss the games the haven't make the play anymore.

    Play it safe and lose tonight and tomorrow.

    Whatever, we know this result.

    One of the best shots in the game is a fast break three. It's a good chance to get a wide open jumper in momentum. It's three points and Martin has no trouble making it.

    It's like Rick is scared to win. He knew that was the shot Martin was looking for so he quickly called a time out to draw up his two point play.

    It's his birth day. Let him have it.

    Rick is a mediocre coach. His timing is always off. He likes to start the entire bench almost the entire second qrtr, and mid 3rd qrter till till the 8minute mark in the fourth.

    The other teams still have some of their great players in as Houston entire bench digs in a hole.

    Rick Adelman is a coach that likes to play catch up and fail in the end. He is not well in the head or is obviously blind.

    This team can be better as it is, but with a coach like him, this is the best you will get.

    We don't have a closer. Same problem we've been dealing with all along. We can address it by trading for Carmelo Anthony, but that'll never happen.

    I don't like his some of his substitutions either. His timing sucks, and it's bothered me all season. I don't think he likes to play catch up, it's just he can't seem to make Aaron fit in this season.

    Brooks have been pretty terrible this year but I wouldnt call lowry night and day better. This whole evenly distributing the minutes to everyone is killing the team. He doesn't have Yao to blame anymore but himself.

    Rick needs to ask himself, with the current rotation and Lowry starting w/ brooks filling in, is it working?

    If not, he needs to shake this btch up and stop with the bull.
