    why dont we all email TNT with some kind of mass message, ask them to make chuck apologize and stop bashin the rockets every chance he gets. Or atleast get him some elocution lessons.

    and its not that I dont want Chuck to express any criticism on the Rockets... When they are playing poor give em the hammer.... but after a ****ing 16 game winning streak you still cant get your fat ass to give them their proper due?? Its serious disrespect to the players on the Rockets who work their ass off.

    lol guys i admit barkley was a bit harsh but given his track record, hes been mostly right with his statements regarding the rockets.

    tonight he said we were a jump shooting team. thats basically true. our only penetraters are t-mac and ........ rafer alston? most of our offense revolves around t-mac dishing to battier, rafer, and head for 3 pointers, but sooner or later the 3 pointers stop falling and we go on droughts. thats why its crucial for rafer to keep penetrating and finishing, and for scola and landry to get some points in the paint. i love battier and his intangibles, but his only offensive weapon is a wide open 3 point shot, same with luther.

    btw, if rafer penetrates and landry/scola play well, i have no doubt we'll win. i dont even think barkley knows who landry is. ;)

    Kind of like the time he said yao would never score 30, right?

    And apparently you haven't been watching much during this streak. the Rockets have gotten a TON of layups and dunks lately. Their offense is basically exactly the same as the old Kings' right now.

    He said we were a jump shooting team right before he said T-Mac doesnt make players better.

    then how the hell can you say Chuck is mostly right about us if he said t-mac is a bad playmaker???? This fool said we are a sure fire ticket to the lottery this season when Yao was down :rolleyes:

    sure it is. And it will be even better after a full season under Addelman.

    And I believe it was Kenny who said the Rockets were a team of jumpshooters.

    The 01 Kings took the showtime Lakers to 7 games and should've advanced to the finals. Our great defense did nothing to get us out of the first round last year. Yea we have great defense, but its our offense im worried about.

    The Kings thrived on the back door cut/pass. We RARELY get that play to work once a game. Our offense is still revolved around T-Mac finding open guys, but different people get to hold the ball more.

    Ok, it's the King offense minus the backdoor cut. My mistake. :rolleyes:

    My point was, this team shares the ball as well as those Kings did.

    I am sweating right now, For tonight game It's just like a playoff game atmosphere. By the way, Charles Barkley is the most overrated player ever play in the NBA. CB go kiss another donkey's a$$ after this game. :mad:
