You need to STFU. I'm really getting tired of you people come on after someone had a bad game and start b!tching. The whole team played like ****, not only Yao. Look at how many TO we had. And again, Sura's rebounding wasn't there, this is like the Sonics game all over again. Sonics and Spurs are good teams, the Rockets may took that as an excuses. But the Jazz isn't even a playoff team and they didn't even have Boozer today. There's no excuse for today's lost, hopfully this will give the Rockets a wake up call.
The tough thing is, is the EFFORT in the Sonics and Spurs games was pretty good. If we brought that same effort TODAY we would have beaten the Jazz hands down! If we would have had Mike James for the Sonics game we would have won. If we had James for the Spurs game, not sure if we would have won but it would have been much closer. 3 staight losses and blown opportunities. Where did our "mojo" go?.....I guess it went on the injured list.
what you talking about? we already 8pts behind even yao missed that layup. Rox just play crap, the whole team! not yao only!
The Rockets have chemistry. The problem is they had no heart today. This is the same lifeless basketball they were playing back in December that led to losses against Charlotte and Atlanta. And I don't wanna hear that they miss the grit that Sura brings them. T-Mac and Yao have to step up and lead this team. You can't let Raja Bell get an offensive tip-in late in the 4th when you're 7'6". You can't try to dribble through double and triple teams everytime down the floor no matter how many points you scored in the 1st quarter. You can't try to lay the ball in gently when there's no one between you and the basketball. Dunk the damn thing, Yao! And most importantly, you can't come back from any deficit, be it 1 point or 10 points, if you give the opposing team 3 or 4 scoring opportunities every possession. Van Gundy deserves some blame too. Playing Bowen in the 4th when you're trying to make a comeback is insane. It reminds me of when the Rockets lost to the Bobcats at home, and he actually had a backcourt of Ward and Lue out there in the 2nd half at one point. About the only positive from this game is that Mike James was a steal. Once Sura comes back(please God let that be soon!), he'll be an outstanding backup.
Dude, you are right. Everyone sees this passive, unfocused Yao. His teammates see this. That's why the guy doesn't get too many touches. His teammates have no confidence in Yao. I look forward to hearing the 610 callers ripping into Yao in fan feedback.
If anyone is a true Rockets fan, you would know we were screwed once we started the 8-game winning streak. Wherever there's a winning streak, there's a losing streak. It's the Rocket formula. And after looking at the remaining schedule...we're screwed. We'll be lucky to get 44 wins. Mark my words...44. I predict from here on out, we go 12-14. Nothing but Sonics, Suns, Spurs, Mavs, Kings, and the occasional losses to the Blazers and Jazz. And I'm sure they can mix in a couple to the Hornets. I pray that the Lakers and Grizzlies lose out, because that's our best bet. This team is not legit. The 8-game win streak was lucky, and we barely won half of the games.
It is totally pathetic we are counting on Sura to get rebound. At least Juwan Howard did his job and got 9 boards. On the other hand, our starting center, the so called 2nd best C, our franchise player grabbed total EITHT rebs in TWO games. When the team lost, franchise players always take the most blame.
Mike James doesnt like to pass the ball to Yao Just finished watching on Telemundo. Is James is Yao hater?
Someone please teach Yao how to be DA MAN! He's only 7'6"... I'm just frustrated watching him play today. He's playing like a damn virgin out there... out of position, no confidence, and fouling... come on Yao hit the right spots!!!
how dare you even place the words yao and duncan in the same sentence. great players do not waste opportunities. great players stand up when their teams need them most. great players dont allow the other team double and triple team tracy and let them get away with it. i love yao but right now he is not even close to coming close...to being a superstar.
What a joke.....no effort on this team at all. They laid down today...thought they could come in against a CRAP team like the Jazz and get an easy win. The entire team's defensive effort was HORRIBLE. McGrady got torched by Harpring, and Wesley is still looking for Raja Bell. Overall, just a ROTTEN effort by the Rocks. They still have a ton of growing up to do. DD
The Rockets have no legit backup SF. Bowen is the only guy who can actually play the SF without getting totally torched. Rockets need to get a SF in the offseason.
