Chron: Rockets lose a very tough one, but might have won, too

The papers and the fanbase have gone into pathetic mode.

Celebrating for doing something they're paid millions to do in their sleep, and sipping brews off of moral victories. Not this far into the season.

Wasn't this supposed to be a contendor? I'd expect this fromthe Bobcats, but not this team.

 

Cue the Tmac apologists.....


If Tmac gets on board the sky is the limit, if he resists, he will sink the ship.

Tmac is the key, always has been, always will be....

If he can embrace moving without the ball, the team can flourish.....

I for one, am hoping Tmac was watching last night.

I agree, and well Craig Sagar interviewed him so yeah he was watching

 

I know he was there, but what I hope is that he was really WATCHING...because if you add Tmac to the team that played last night....you have something.

But he has to play as part of that system.....moving without the ball etc....because the old way will not work in the playoffs.

Got to have more options for teams to game plan against.

jealous cause your boy mcgrady sat out and concidentally the team played like it cared?

 

No doubt the sway with the wind crowd is not far off. There were no doubts.

No team should sink with one player missing, so please stop trying to re-direct the point of the post by name calling.

The Nuggets don't even play defense, kept Eduardo Najera on Yao one on one, and Anthony freaking Carter scored the winning bucket on them in the paint.

That's nothing to be excited about.

 

With Tmac, the buck stops with him, kidda. It's either a jumper or a bail out assist. Like many said, he is a half court player, programmed by JVG that way.

 

Hmmm in one sentence he calls me a "Sway with the winder" and in the 2nd sentence he says "stop the name calling"

Uh...yeah.....whatever......when you get your lips off of the TCrank long enough to actually understand the game of basketball come back then....mmmkay....Mr. TCrank apologist?

As stated before, you get called out for contradicting yourself, even to this day from years back, so at least you are a consistent windwalker.

Now pick a side for one minute and stay there and answer

What is there to celebrate from

The Nuggets don't play defense
They kept Eduardo Najera on Yao one on one in closing minutes
and Anthony Carter scored the winning bucket on them in the paint

Where is the victory in that?

 

I think you either aren't watching the same team, or you just like to stir the pot.

Yao fouled out Camby! And with Camby or anybody else on him, they were swarming Yao with double and triple teams all night...that's part of why the Rockets took 34 f-ing 3 pointers and Yao had 6 assists.

I've been clammoring for a great EFFORT all season...we finally got one last night, concidentally with their pouty superstar in his ugly ass sweater. I for one am happy about the effort...and am not swaying with the wind.

 

The victory is in the ball movement, is the team playing hard on both ends of the court, in the team FIGHTING until the end instead of giving up like TMac has been known to do.

That is where the victory lies.......it is a loss, but it was on the road, the 2nd game of a back to back, and their best player was in street clothes with a tampon stuck between his thighs.

The team came out and played hard, if Tmac joins the fun, we might have somthing, if he keeps moping, and dominating the ball, the season will be over.....

You are just trying to pick a fight. Stop.

The victory is this. We played a good game the second night of a back to back. Aaron Brooks showed some great flashes, Rafer played in control, Yao stepped up and put the team on his back, Bonzi stepped it up and played big, and we didn't give up like we have in games in the past.

Oh, and we almost beat a rested Nuggets team without our superstar in a back to back in double overtime.

Wake up, buddy

 

The Franchise player is Yao Ming Spiffy, and there is no reason they should lose this many games with the best center in the NBA in the lineup. Especially to teams who play no defense.

As far as me being a downer, this team is a downer. I'm not telling Shane to brick wide open 3's and to start Rafer Alston.

What's the excitement in Chuck Hayes when he has no offensive game? Ryan Bowen hustled, so did mark Madsen, but that didn't make them starters.

I think the management in Houston deserves its own place in the circle.

 

Both teams played hard. Got it

 

I guess you missed the three huge three pointers that Shane made last night, one from the parking lot (to quote my boy Worrell).

I guess it was past your bedtime when those things happened, though.

Hayes is limited offensively but is a hustle player that understands where to be on offense without the ball. he is an effort guy who is way better than Madsen ever was.

 

WTF is your problem? You're either an idiot or didn't watch the game.

We got a great EFFORT. That's all we need to be happy fans. And when was the last time we could say that we got one? The Phoenix game???

There's no swaying with the wind in that.
