    Deke has four, and we're forced to play undersized this entire game because JVG refuses to play his bigger guards. The Hawks are killing us with their size/speed on the wings and we aren't doing much to counter it.

    Yeah, he's starting to pick it up. Good to see...

    I don't think so. If T-Mac can get a little rest near the end of the third then he will come out into the fourth on fire helping the rockets pull away.

    JVG seems to go into a brain lock in some games. He does not play matchups very well.

    Rockets have had real trouble winning in Atlant, IIRC, didn't YAO had to score 42 points some time ago ?

    .....Where is the our swarming defence ? Man ...... rockets are playing at such a low level of energy, whats happening ? I think the hawks fans sohuld boo them to make them play harder and more intensity.

    Our interior defense is absolutely pathetic this is when you miss Yao the most...
    On the bright side, Tracy is really trying to keep us in the game

    They're KILLING US with their size.

    Basketball is about matchups, we ain't doing a good job of that. That's why we have so many players in foul trouble, because they can't keep up.

    The Hawks are killing us with their length/speed...

    We are getting killed on the boards so badly it is pathetic.

    Wohoo for Tracy! He is the only one who came to play tonight. The rest of his team seems to be a step slower..
