I was hoping that we would win against the Jazz on our home court. I'm very, very disappointed. There is no hope for us this season.
Lin sucks. If Lin is the 1st option on any team for a whole season, that team is heading to a top 5 pick.
Rockets have pretty said F basketball and the fans this year. Seems like this happens in Houston a lot.
I'm amazed that when the Jazz went small in the second half to counter what the rox were doing - that JB didn't adjust with extending the minutes for the more mobile/better rebounding Beasley at the 4. I've never seen an NBA coach in over his head this much. It's absolutely pitiful.
I really don't want the 7th or 8th seed. I really don't want to think there's any hope at all for this terrible season and thereby surrender a useful draft pick. I hope we have some more stunning losses while Utah and Dallas rally a bit and finish strong.
How is that draft pick useful? We don't even have a credible offensive and defensive gameplan... I bet whoever we draft will be irrelevant next year.
This was a huge, huge, HUGE game. The Rockets controlled the game easily, the Jazz were terrible, shooting way below 40% and turning the ball over like crazy. STILL the Rockets found a way to lose this game, which is an absolute disgrace. This team is a complete and utter failure.
Th rockets are what they are a 6-9 seed. The Blazers, Mavs and Jazz arnt better by next week im sure the standing will have one of them in 9th (prob be mavs) The problem is the only seed worth getting is 6th and out of all those teams were the only one that can maybe guve OKC a scare. If the rockets really want that 6th seed they gotta win 8 out out of the final 10 games maybe even 9 and I don't think this team can be trusted to do that at all. The rockets has hella momentum coming off the road trip looked to be playing better and then crapped the bed 3 games in a row were the should have won 2 if not all 3. If we had better execution down the stretch the team would be 8-2 in there last 10 instead of 5-5. Mediocre basktball and it's still better than what the Blazers and mavs have played the last 10 games but we can't seem to capitalize when the 6th seed is right in our face.
We're edged out of the playoffs by the Mavs, Blazers, and Jazz. If that doesn't make a longtime Rockets fan puke than I don't know what would. It's time for a new GM. I say balls to your true shooting percentage.
The two wins the Rockets had earlier in the year against the Jazz Harrell played really well in. The starters looked dead tired in the 2nd half last night, that would have been a good opportunity for a high energy player like Harrell to get some burn. Booker brings energy/hustle for the Jazz and Harrell is able to match his intensity. It seems odd to me that they sent him to the D-league before the Jazz game, considering the impact he had in the earlier meetings against that team. The Rockets had no answer for the Booker/Favors lineup, unfortunately the guy that would have helped wasn't with the team.
Because Lin had one 29 point game against the Spurs and that one idiot thinks it means he's better than Harden.
[rquoter]Dwight Howard just wants a win, not more shots After a sixth-consecutive game in which Rockets center Dwight Howard took fewer than 10 shots, going 2 of 6 in Wednesday's loss to the Jazz, he refused to say anything about wanting more touches in the Rockets' offense. "We just have to find ways to win games," Howard said. Asked if he would like more looks, he said, "I would like to get a win." Since making 7 of 8 shots in the first half in Charlotte, Howard took two shots in the second half and has averaged six shots per game in the six games since. He has averaged 8.8 attempts per game this season, his fewest since his rookie season in 2004-05. "I'd like to see him more involved," Rockets interim coach J.B. Bickerstaff said. "He's doing all the other things. Defensively, he was a monster. He has to be rewarded for doing those things. There's time where we can get him the ball in those spots. We need to work on that a little more." Howard, however, would not comment about his role in the offense. "We have to get wins," he said. "That's the only thing that matters."[/rquoter]
