    Daryl Moron??? :mad: He is the one who got us Scola, AB, Landry, Barry and Artest, which are the few players who actually play reasonably well so far.

    No, I'm not. Why not sign Deke? He plays for PEANUTS these days.

    how are the lakers killing so us so badly at the line. it is annoying me.

    if artest and t-mac can do something in the second half, we'll be in it until the end.

    yao is playing pretty bad and is in foul trouble but he's looked active getting some offensive putbacks.

    as ive been saying our biggest weakness might be LACK OF HEIGHT AND LENGTH! the lakers "small forwards" are taller than our whole team. (besides yao).

    and yeah our starting unit is not looking to smooth on offense either, our starting unit is too slow.

    Ohh really? Cuz i've been hearing we needed him against the Grizzlies, thunder, celtics etc. Artest is just as good of defender as he is. Whi else do we need to gaurd that's not kobe on the team? We need someone to wake up and shoot, not someone to wake up and defend. 8 TO's in the 1st quarter :mad:

    Our Big 3 has been downgraded to Medium 3 after poor first half results.

    Rafer is actually doing well in this game, not super-good, but not like the other games. We need to stop the lazy passes. That's what letting them to come back in this game.


    All of a sudden, our beautiful offense just went away >_<. When we had in Barry, Brooks, Head, Landry, and Hayes, i saw some beautifully ran offense. Picks after picks then an open Aaron hits a three/layup.

    Refs may be giving LA more calls, but it just seems that the rockets starters just a step slower than LA. We getting blocked and turning the ball over, they are getting fouled and 'and 1'. We need to motion offense back and need to stop turning the ball over.
