ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Pacers 11/20/2005

Damn, we suck...

Me thinks Dallas will pound us good...

 

What is wrong with Rafer? I heard Worrell say that he had a physical problem but he didn't say what it was. Is an injury the reason he hasn't been playing well?

 

he's supposed to have a bruised thigh from the San Antonio game

but we all know that's bull****

alston is in the

 

why? why can't the Rockets be a powerhouse team? Why do we have to start the season crap like this every time when we have the talent to be a top team while others are doing so good.

What is the solution, I mean last year they played better when we got better players. What is the deal this time, we have the same players and added more supposedly good players. I am starting to panic...3-7 this is getting scary.

 

Will we gel? Yes, I have no doubt we will start winning...eventually. But now I'm worried what ranking we will get. We might just end up as....8th seed, playing the freaking spurs who will have home court advantage. Doesn't look good.

 

At this rate, we should be grateful if the Rockets made into the playoff.

 

it woulda been great if he woulda shoot that well in the play-offs when we really needed against dallas!!!!!

 

True. i knew sooner or later that T-mac was gonna be injured at some time or another, since the day we traded for him. he has had a histroy of back problems befoire we traded for him, and the rockets shoulda prepared better for situations like this.

 

Acturally an afternoon in the NY Hood should work wonders. The Rox defense and effort is good. On the other hand, the offense and execution has been terrible. There needs to be more movement away from the ball. Yao needs to make quicker decisions on offense. We really need a shooter. We don't need a mad bomber the could hit the j while double teamed. We need a player that wants the ball, knows how to get open and make a freakin open shot.

 

This basicly sums up how I feel so far this season. I am.........perturbed.

 

McGrady missed a few games last year and this team held its own without him. The difference in this team is we are minus Bobby Sura and Scott Padgett, I can't believe these two guys made such a big difference but the results don't lie.

 

rox are missing their 3pt shots and rebounds. maybe they also made training more competitive, so during games, guys were more switched on with their shot?

 

I think the rockets just need some time to gel together and wesley and barry to start with some 3's... Head is playing real good ball for being a rookie. Yao is just upset an frustrated i think he is missing easy shots and letting emotions get in the way of his game(who would have thought anybody would say that). Give Swift time to understand his role an send him in there to bang the boards a bit and to work the inside a bit and make a couple of pretty dunks and you got a above .500 team without T-Mac.

 

I think we have been saying that for the past month is it gonna happen is the question? Dwes finally hit his shots against Pistons but man this team does not look good and whenever tmac comes back they will have to adjust again constant tweaking to a team isnt good.

 

If my memory is correct, Bobby Sura/M. James were far more associated
with Rox victories than Tmac or Yao last year. Tmac + Sura or Yao + Sura
had no problem to hold their own.

This team needs a tough energy guy. It is soft even with both Tmac and Yao.

 

I am confident this team can turn it around. We have all the pieces, and I we have had injuries and things that make it seem like we can really come on strong later.

The only problem is that the team believes the same as I do. From their play it looks like they believe it will just turn around as well. They aren't making it happen. It is disappointing to watch. I know Wesley and Barry have said that the team has that problem as well, but it just seems evident watching it. Just because they should be good doesn't mean they will. They have to put the fire, passion, and work into the game for it to happen.

I feel that they can overcome that mental hang up before too long, and start putting some much needed wins on the board soon. I just hope they get worried about it happening.

 

i think some of you are finally seeing/getting just how important bobby sura was to this ballclub last season.

 

hate swift....so stupid guy..

 

no ur wrong we WONT make the playoffs...

 

Please explain, seriously. And start with the guards. Personally, I am seeing a HUGE talent deficit on the floor.
