    Only Barry can consistently hit the open jumpers. The other guys shots are suspicious at best.

    Alston, Barry, and Anderson are the only players that have played this season and not one of them have "consistently hit the outside shot"

    Juwan is Juwan, Stromile has been disappointing. Wesley played well the past couple of games but still makes poor decisions.

    Its always 2 against 5 every game, and it SUCKS!!

    T-Mac cancels out Cassell and Mobley. Yao cancels out Brand. Then they have Wilcox and Livingston and we have nothing.

    I don't know about Swift. Sometimes I think he is only good for a Highlight every once in a while .....

    Im sure he minds. I was thinkin the same after the game when he started talkin to ET like everything was cool. I think he just doesnt show his emotion like other players do.

    Bowen needs to take some shooting lessons from Barry.
    2-11

    Good Point Gater76.. Thats the 2005-2006 Rockets. When they take their team picture it will just be T-Mac and Yao standing next to each other...

    How do you loose to the clippers, seriously. I dont care about their record cause they actually do suck. I'll bet all my money on it that they wont even make teh playoffs.

    TMac's probably mentally exhausted from carrying the team and orchestrating late 4th quarter comebacks the entire road trip. He's only got Yao for support while everyone else is as inconsistent as can be.

    I bet he'll come out for a big game tomorrow.

    I know and I HATE to bring this up but...

    games like that excruciating Game 7 loss to Dallas will always be a possibility unless we improve through some trades...

    I know the Bowen Bashing has begun but lets try and remember that he's actually all we have right now with everyone hurt. He at leasts hustles and you have to understand that this is the NBA and when teams get to Houston they are gonna play a defense that Gives Bowen open jumpers. He has to either take them or sit on the bench...

    Can you read? I said they were hurt.

    Not what I've heard, but who knows.

    I watched him when he played in Miami, and he was a deadly 3-pt. shooter. When he's healthy, he'll have plenty of open looks from T-Mac and Yao.

    He's also been playing hurt. It's too soon to say he's washed up.

    Sure thing, chicken little. We're terrible because we lost to one of the best teams in the West while playing our third-string scrubs. Just ignore that 5-game winning streak we just had.

    What was he supposed to do? Not only was he double teamed on every play, but when he passed out everyone else missed their jumpers and a couple of calls were not going our way.

    I blame wesley. He finally starts playing well and then gets five fouls forcing him to sit on the bench.

    We need to trade for Ryan Bowen's evil twin, who works just as hard as Ryan but is instead all offense and no defense.

    Have you and I been watching the same Anderson? Yes, he started off slow, but he was giving us a HUGE offensive spark on this road trip until he got hurt.
