    Well, that's very big of you. Give then all the credit you want, but they should not be beating a supposed playoff contender AT HOME -- especially after having just done so on the road.

    Man, this feeling SUCKS right now !!

    I've believed in this team all season long. But finally they are testing my confidence in them.

    I'll always watch because I love watching my favorite team play, but, for now on, with lessened expectations.

    Lue is horrible player. Horrible ! He doesn't belong in the NBA. Sit his ass down.

    Yao's weakness is very obvious now. It is going to be difficult to reduce that weakness. Rox needs to get another all-star or trade Yao to get better players in return.

    Simply unforgivable. The Rockets lay a giant stinking turd for the fans Christmas present. Swept by an expansion team. How can it get worse? Shooters needed.

    The Spurs loss to a lowly team? I thought they played the Magic tonight?



    Anyway, bad loss. I thought T-Mac would take the three or @ least drive to the hoop, it looked like he had a clear lane. Yao with 10 TOs???:eek: Everything about this game just leaves a bad taste in your mouth.

    **sigh** Well, have a Merry Christmas everyone. Try not to think about Rox b-ball, it'll only ruin your holiday. Just hope things gets better before they get worse.

    Expansion team or not, when you are 6-15 (before this game) and had all your players healthy, you are a bad basketball team.

    Unfortunately my fears came true. Our opponents know our weaknesses and exploit them fully.

    Hey, call me a whiner if you want. But am I wrong for feeling that a team with Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady that has championship aspirations has no excuse for getting swept by the expansion Bobcats?

    No, the Bobcats do not deserve credit for the win. You know why? Because they're the freaking Bobcats! Van Gundy needs to go NOW!!! Not next summer. Not next month. NOW!

    He's the one who decided to bench Andre Barrett and play a backcourt of Tyronn Lue and Charlie Ward late in the 3rd quarter when Charlotte started their run that would ultimately be the difference in the game. He also decided to bench Yao for a few minutes halfway through the 4th when the Rockets couldn't buy a basket. This loss is on him.

    What's your problem, man? Everytime Rox lost, it's Yao's fault?..

    JVG is the biggest problem tonight, what the hell was he doing by playing both Lue and Ward at the same time ..? That's when the Rox lost the momentum and lead..

    Why didn't he play Battte?

    Yeah, Just play either a zone defense or just double Yao and T-Mac and let the other Rox shoot bricks all night.

    Absolutely Pathetic :mad:

    To be fair, I don't think the last play by Tracy is good. He should have just layup by himself. This kind of pass is awkward.

    Also, he should be more active tonight:mad:

    It's not about being politcally correct -- it's about being a jerk.

    Half of the TOs were legit. Half were BS.
    2 mickey mouse offensive fouls, 1 offensive goal tending (I did not know that counts as TO), 1 questionable 3 second call and the good outlet pass to JJ who was too slow to catch up to the ball. The bullet pass from TMac into the post before Yao was set was hard too but it was legit. We just knew he couldn't handle the bullet passes.

    On other TOs, the Bobcats were just very quick to double Yao and took the ball away. It was good plays on their part.
