    Denver is also at home, and they are a great home team. Like I posted earlier, we're in the same situation that Phoenix was in against us Friday. Except Denver's is a MILLION times more urgent because they're playing for a playoff berth. You would have seen a different Rockets team if the Phoenix game hadn't happened.

    Trying to play the Lakers is SUICIDE! The NBA wants LAKERS vs. CELTICS! We would have to beat Kobe and the Refs!

    The reason our overall shooting percentage sucks so bad???

    T-Mac 4-13

    Rafer 1-6

    Someone tell Rafer to just focus on passing the ball pleeeeeese!!!

    You sure that's a good idea? He sucks at passing too. Someone tell him to focus on sitting down on the bench.

    OK, it's NOT that we are losing. It's the WAY we are losing. We could shoot well and play up to our normal standard of defense and still lose and while we'd be upset, we wouldn't be THAT upset. But we're bricking all over the place, we're turning the ball over, we've stopped playing defense and have resorted to fouling which has sent Denver to the line 28 times.

    It's not that we're losing, it's that we're playing like total crap in the process. There's no reason we should be shooting 32% and no reason to have committed 19 personal fouls.

    I think we did not set up enough for Novak on the offensive end. He made two big 3s then everyone was ignoring him or reluctant to set him up. What a waste of talent.

    On the other hand, how can Anthony Carter last shot before half time not called travelling. He switched his pivotal leg before he jumped. Thought that's one extra step already? :confused:

    Exactly. Some of you guys make some pretty stupid comments about purposely losing and what not. Denver just wants this game a lot more and we have injuries to two of our players in the rotation.
