T-mac has looked bad at times the last few years in the regular season. But I don't think I have ever seen him have a stretch of 5 points in 2 games.
I see him less motivated than ever too. He's thinking in 1st round-2nd round every day, you can feel that. I understand this, it's frustrating to have 11 career years with the same story, and again start since november... He's like depressed, not motivated, and I'm sure that if he could, he would pass the time now until March. The important thing is he's good physically. We'll be a very good team, but: SIGN A CENTER.

Its the regular season, but we've played two games that were playoff caliber games vs the best teams in the NBA. Usually a team 'steps up' when playing a strong opponent. It's a mentality. If we show this same mentality in the playoffs, we'd get swept. This is why the Laker/Celtics games were important. I can live if we played hard and lost. We got beaten silly. Even the Clippers showed more heart against the Lakers.
maybe it's not a good trade... ... trading greene and bjax for artest. Now I start to doubt the trade that used to be considered as a milestone in rockets' history.
No, championships are not won in November but if you look back at almost every championship team in league history (there are few exceptions), those teams looked strong to start the season. We don't even look close right now. Not even close. If we turn this mess into a championship, it will be pretty amazing. I am still confident we will win 50+ games but making the playoffs is not that big of an accomplishment. 16 of 30 teams do that. Winning championships takes a lot more than just making the postseason as we know all to well.
No, but 16 games are played in November. And last year 7 games separated #1 from #8 seed in the West. 7 games separated #1 Boston from #2 Detroit, so they had room to breathe.
Championships are NOT won in November. Im sure that tracy yao and Ron ron will step up and bring us home the gold. but they really need to step up quick as
