    Why does criticizing the team when they play like crap(Yao's 15 points notwithstanding) make us bandwagon fans?

    Yes I think some people are overreacting and it's too early to be upset with anyone. Even after game one is too early to be upset.

    it is embarrassing to see TMAC being defended so well by Fisher and then got beat by FISHER on a flotter. TMAC, action speaks louder than words.

    second half will be a different ballgame. TMac will turn it on and it will be fine

    That plus....

    Fisher is a mini Chuck Hayes. Both have extremely strong lower base and its hard to root them.

    I should add that our rebounding sucked as well.

    What's happening is really very simple: the Jazz are out-hustling us and out-toughing us. They're playing a lot more disciplined and 'calm', which is an irony considering that they're supposedly the 'inexperienced' team.

    I am very disappointed right now, I was almost sure we were going to lose one game at home but I didn't expect us to play this badly going into the first game of the playoffs in front of your home crowd.

    I guess we have to wait and see how we respond in the second half. It will take nothing less than a complete domination by our duo on BOTH ends of the court to pull out this one.

    Why are they making a big deal about McGrady having no points???

    He'll come out of it, I think Utah will be more concerned with Yao in the second half and that'll open it up for Mcgrady.

    At this pace, we'll be down 15-20 points by then. He better explode coming out of halftime.

    Big Yao playing so hard, yet we losing so bad !! :rolleyes:

    It just shows you how much T-Mac means to the team. If he's not scoring, we're not rolling. T-Mac doesn't need to read books to know how to be aggressive. You'll see in the 2nd half.

    Stop jacking up threes, if you are not hot, you dont take those shots and touch nothing but air.

    Even more of a reason why you should NOT doubt that he will turn it on in the second half. If he has NEVER played this bad then why on earth is everyone talking like he sucks and not worth a damn.

    I'm dissappointed just like everyone else but damn I think Im more dissappointed in the posters here.

    your leaders are the only players you can call out. if luther said he would have a big game and didn't what can you say to him? he's a role player.

    tmac is capable of SO much that 1 point is absolutely pathetic. he said he's putting the team on his shoulders. he said "it's my team and they go as far as i take them." so where is the leadership?

    granted, the game is far from over. here's hoping he scores 25 in the second half and we win!

    Come on, the game is still hopeful, only behind by 9 pts. Too early to give up. If we are behind by 30 pts, maybe we can put Vspan on court. Then we don't care how many TOs he is going to get.

    So ironic , in the 05 series, we all got on Yao for not bringing it for the whole series. This time, Yao will be the one needing help if Tmac plays like this

    If you criticize any Rocket players in any manner, he will call you out! :D

    Dude is having a heart attack. Looks like we got a n00b for playoffs.

    Someone send over an ambulance to his place just in case.
