Blame this loss on Yao and Steve for not showing up. We need Yao to take more than 10 friggin shots in 4 quarters and Francis needs to bench himself.
Turnovers, and bad transition defense are why we're losing. Yao looks timid when he gets the ball and acts like he doesn't want to shoot. He let Mike Wilbon down. Francis is We didn't go to the hothand enough tonight, and broke down under pressure. Mobley forcing bad shots and killing any momentum in the final 2 minutes. It should be a blowout in our favor if we learned how to control the ball in the final 2 minutes of every quarter, and cut back on our turnovers. That's atleast 22 extra shots right there from bad turnovers.
It's times like this, when i have to remind myself that the rockets are a houston pro franchise, and they perform just like every other houston pro franchise does in tight situations
Who the hell cares how we start the game, all that matters is how you finish. And how many turnovers do we have tonight, somewhere around 25? How do you have a turnover right out of a timeout?
So the plan was for Padgett to penetrate and give the ball to Mo under the basket when they needed a three. Brilliant. Those timeouts work wonders.
FRANCIS IS PUKE... $13 mill of puke. ...can't dribble, can't pass, can't shoot, can NOT defend, has no clue, has to show off, and just does not and never will GET IT! 3's done - garbage.
can anyone explain why at the end OF EVERY FREAKIN quarter of EVERY GAME...francis has to walk his sorry ass up the court killing 90% of the time before passing half court and then throwing up a unmakable prayer. Also regardless of who has the hot hand HE HAS TO TAKE EVERY end of quarter shot and that is also a big reason why the rockets lost this game.
Somebody call me when the Rockets join the elite. I am tired of wasting my time when I should be studying!
Falling squarely in the hands of Cuttino Despite steve's poor shooting.. I feel those two 3-point attempts back to back with 3 minutes to go.. that was the end. Who else on this board thinks that he was soooo boneheaded in this game? Why does he have to be a champ everytime.... terrible. the offense/defense completely fell apart... I need a cigarette.
the exasperated look on yao's face after the horn went off was beautiful, like he knew they should have won but they blew it, frustration like a mutha.
Yeah. What's up with Yao's timid play again? Someone should tell him that this is HIS team. He doesn't WANT the ball, when he should.
