This team has played almost a quarter of the season and we are further away than where we started. We are regressing. The same worthless players are making the same worthless plays. Its time to make serious changes to salvage this season.
I agree. Yao has to understand that this is HIS TEAM. He has to understand that he's the MAN on this team. He needs to get into his skull that this team only goes so far as he goes. He has to STOP deferring to McGrady and MAN UP. This season is on YAO and no one else. Yao needs to take a minimum of 30 shots a game for this team to have a chance and he needs to PIMP SLAP McGrady for taking more shots than him.
Complaining about the refs is a little bit supid. Yes, surely they made mistakes, but if you are The Rockets and you are gonna have another horrible overall game against a non title contender team, well, refs are the last of our problems. Forget the big W against the Suns and face the fact, once again, that beside Yao & T-Mac (who are not so brilliant stars) our team is just a bunch of very mediocre players. No one in double digit other than T-Mac & Yao, while Sac had 5. FIVE! Battier, Alston and Wells are the first guys who need to be traded before they get no value at all (do they actually have some?). No excuses, no alibis anymore. The Time It's Now! For a change.
Bonzi just seems really lost and has very little confidence right now. so it Head. MJ is trying too hard but just not a consistent player. So many open 3 we cant knock down, the same shots we were knocking down under JVG. I dont understand what is going on. Yao's arms get held by the defenders almost on every rebound its never called, yet they call stupid fouls on him. There has got to be a point he stands up. I felt the big mans frustration tonight. We need to try to trade battier and Rafer quickly. We are playing 2 on five bball right now with Hayes in the starting line up. WOW
Every player deserved to be called out if hes not performing. yao wasnt performning in the 2nd half. people were blasting mcghrady in the first half when he was crap(me included). yao is no exception.
You have been saying this kind of crap for too long. Sounds like you didn't even watch the game. At one point Tmac decided to take over and there was no set plays for Yao any more, he only saw the ball on pick'n rolls with Tmac. It's not like he passed out a lot in this game, he didn't even get touches. How can he score without touches?
Even a trade goes down what do the Rockets have that others would want in a trade(Rafer, Luther, MJ, Bonzi, Hayes, Battier)
Screw the NBA!!!! THIS IS COMPLETE BULLSH*T!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NBA corrupt refs are being a bunch of racist a55holes, Yao Ming should threaten to leave the NBA if he doesn't get fair treatment and respect. This is BULLSH*T!!!!!!!!!!! Yao is a humble guy and if he's mad, we KNOW there's something corrupt going on. I'm glad China TV stations shut down the broadcast of this game right after Yao got rejected. Cause THIS IS BULLSH*T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These three guys should be coming off the bench. i am very disappointed in battier this year. I did not expect him to suck this bad.
He didn't defer to Tracy. He was fronted and doubled without the ball because 3/5 of our lineup can't score.
This team is reversing back to the exact team last year that other than Yao and TMac, nobody else scores. And during almost all the 2nd half, every possession had to start from Tmac and almost finish with him. WTF? I thought RA's idea is to completely change that. If this is how we are going to play, we are doomed. We have some decent players now, and we have to utilize them. TMac was taking way too many shots. It really takes five to win basketball games, not one, not two, even in the name of 'taking over the game'.
I'm all for starting Scola/francis in place of Hayes/alston... What happened to the charges that Chuck and shane used to draw every game???
So 29points and 11 rebounds is the reason why we lost. I just want to hear you say that with a straight face. please don't post ever again. you're incompetence in logical reasoning is nonexistent. like our d tonight, which was the REAL reason we lost (along with our guards other than tmac sucking).
adelman is driving me crazy. wtf is he doing? with the team totally stagnant in the 2nd half and rockets playing 1 on 5 (mcgrady vs kings), he doesn't change a gosh darn thing up. where the f*#K is francis? we needed some fire in the 2nd, and mj and reefer were stinkin it up again. francis needed to play this game. so f*#king frustrating, so so so frustrating to watch them play so half-hearted and clueless. this team and its coach needs to be put on some serious review. something has to change now, we are not a contender at this point, and it doesn't look like we're improving or "getting it". somebody said it right...scola and francis should be loggin in 30+ minutes to tap their full potential, which they've both have on paper and have demonstrated most times they've been given a chance. i have lost almost all confidence in r.a. to lead this team. we are 1/4 into the season, now's the time to start "clicking". if they haven't by now then somethings gotta change.
Not just offensive fouls, the opposing players practically hold his arms every time he was down low. It is just not fair on the big man
Why do you think he dosent get those touches?. because everytime he did get it, he wasnt attacking the damn rim like in the first half. hes gotta attack a moore and miller and hawes or whatever hes name was. there is noway those guys can guard yao. hes to big and skilled.
