I'll say it again as I did last game. We were missing our closer. No way we lose that game with TMAC in there. I'll be damn surprised if we win ONE game without him, you HAVE to have a leader to go to in the 4th quarter when the game is on the line. Wake me up when Tmac returns.
well, still above average in the game. that's the way i look at it. most players' shooting is terrible in this game.
It will be that way as long as Tmac is out. Just like in 94/95.. we would have been nothing without dream. I truely believe one guy can make that much of a difference.
Just look at Suns and Miami without their stars Amare and Shaq, how they have changes in their personnel, and whether they perform as bad as us
Including Yao's FG%. He's supposed to be a leader and step it up in TMac's absence. Once again, he was a nonfactor. Honestly, how low do you feel defending such a sh*tty performance like that? Way to rationalize and delude yourself. Here's another positive: Yao is probably old enough to wipe his own ass and hasn't crapped in his pants for about 2 years. Congrats. I hate YOFs.
Disappointing loss to say the least, Orlando without Dooling and Hill are terrible and we still lost. November is going to be a tough month and it looks like we are going to repeat our start of last year. Damn, we looked so good in the preseason.
I actually think Swift is improving. Head's shot selecting and shooting form has been terrible. Wesley plain sucks. If I were playing Rox, I will leave Wesley unguarded all night long. Barry can only play with a lead. Yao need to go strong to the basket. I really don't know what to look forward to for that Nets game I am going on Saturday.
Honestly, do any of you think this team as it is currently playing is going win any games, especially on the road? How does a 1-10 start sound? They have just lost to two of the league's worst teams, at home. I wouldn't want them to play Duke right now. Why does the NBA have preseason games? They are a complete joke. When the season starts, the Rockets play like they have never seen each other.
I'm reminded of TMac's 15 win season. I'm wondering how good a 2 man team would look if 1 man is out. I mean, at least the Magic from 2 seasons ago can hit an open shot. It has nothing to do with being a YOF and everything to do with you being a moron.
this board is like therapy for me.. I am glad I can look to others that feel as bad as I do when the Rockets are doing so crappy.
The bright spot in all this.....they will not end up with 4th seed even with the 2nd best record in the best and have to play the Spurs in the second round.
I was referring to the loss of NASH and Shaq last season. If I remember correctly, both sucked for a while before finding themselves on their two feet.
We played with energy tonight, but it manifested more in nerves than aggression. We didnt take it to the hole alot, and when we did we were not finishing strong. Orlando just played sloppy and lazily up in-till the end. We should have beaten them. This just looks like a team without any confidence. Im glad our next game is against Miami. Win or lose, it should bring out the best in us.
