    Yao is awful, awful, awful. Now that JVG recognizes Bonzi's value, I start to miss our former coach.

    Rafer's shots are pretty bad
    but the last shot is not the reason to hate
    honestly i dont think Kobe would have pull that one out with less than 1 sec remaining

    It harder to hit the front of the rim than it looks. Or get the right trajectory. Chances are if you hit it, it'll bounce back the opposite way but sometimes the ball can hit the bottom and bounce right to the floor. Or, some people might miss the rim ENTIRELY cuz its an unnatural shooting form

    Rick Aldeman needs to open his eyes and play Steve Francis already, he can impact this team more than what rafer can offer... Seriously RAFER SUCKS!!!

    I didn't think he was that bad. He was having an off shooting night but he kept fighting hard and he ended up getting some calls and getting to the line a lot. Missing the FT's was very, very uncharacteristic of him.

    Another poor performance by Mike James.

    Another game of zero productivity from Luther Head.

    Usual crappy performance from Rafer Alston.

    Rockets missed 16 free throws with Yao uncharacteristically missing 6 of the 16.

    Good game by Bonzi.

    Fragile T-Mac is back.

    11 out of 12 players got to play tonight with the exception of Steve Francis.

    Why would you rather not play Steve and have Rafer play the entire second half?

    Chuck Hayes played well and hustled, but on offense it was like 3 on 5 for most of the second half, because Rafer, Shane, and Hayes aren't exactly paragons of offensive productivity.

    Are there any truth to the rumors that Adelman has something personal against SF3?

    This team may have a lot of talent...but what it desperately needs is a pure shooter or two. Too many streaky players...that and too many times they fall back to and settle for outside shots.

    All I know is that our team is a bunch of brick-laying fools! Nobody hitting shots at all. The next 5 games has me very worried.


    Fri 16 @ San Antonio 7:00pm FSNHOU
    Sat 17 vs Phoenix 7:30pm KTXH
    Wed 21 vs Dallas 6:30pm FSNHOU
    Fri 23 @ Miami
    Sat 24th vs Denver

    We have the potential of losing all 5 of those games but with the way this team is playing we should at least knock off Miami. Somehow have the Spurs number because Bonzi is the Spurs killer.

    Predictions anyone? I'm saying we go 1 W 4 L

    You guys are too harsh to Rafer. A shot did not fall, that's it.

    That one with 3 consecutive offensive rebound yet we comes up with nothing hurts the most.

    Its not the coach's fault. The lakers defended Yao well, we missed a ton of free throws, rafer and mike james couldn't hit the 3 at all, and losing Tracy played a big part in the loss as well. Hats off to Bonzi Wells tonight. Tough loss, but we have the spurs and suns to worry about now. Hopefully Tracy's injury is not serious. I predict that we beat the spurs and lose to the suns.
