    The reality is brutal. On paper we are deep, on the floor we are not. On paper we have 3 SUPERSTARS, in the reality we have only 1 SUPERSTAR.

    This team ain't going nowhere.

    Up to this point, a 33-point turnaround.

    they're not even starters. yao and tracy are about 3 levels below their play just last season, which is scary. it's hard to plan for that big of a dropoff b/t your 2 best players. and artest is pretty much artest, his offense has always been ugly. i really hope battier coming back fixes some of these things.

    Defense and rebounding, the 2 things JVG's team used to have.

    Aron Brooks has bigger heart than Yao and Tmac combined.

    There is a reason that these two have not advanced past first round. I know health issue is always brought up but it goes beyond that.

    These two simply lack IT.

    doesnt look like the rockets can ever win with McGrady...i think we have a good sample size of games now if we didnt before.

    There is no offense, there is no defense. This is the Rockets team.

    iwasnt' expecting a win here tonight but its the way we're losing it that is frustrating me.our defense is getting destroyed, our stars lack heart and we're missing easy shots.
    the rockest wil make a run after this time out, but i don't think it'll be enough to win it

    How are you going to let the Lakers get out on 14-4 run before you call a timeout? Adelman's passive coaching let the lead dwindle in the first place and he just sits on his ass with the same ineffective lineup until they get on a roll. McGrady, Artest and Yao should never all be on the bench in the 4th quarter of a winnable game. Absolute garbage.

    It may have been worse if not for the Lakers being rusty from having several days w/out a game.

    This version of the Rockets isn't even close. The Lakers are worlds better than us.
