    This pisses me off, they cant do anything in the 4th quarter, its like what the hell are they playing? Thank god Mutombo isnt a football player, he would give the other teams so many touchdowns. Yao is playing like a pansy in the 4th quarter, and Tracy McGrady doesnt even have that killer extinct.

    Fourteen LOUSY points in the fourth quarter.....this team has NO fricken clue how to play in the clutch.

    Yao gets challenged and he crumbles....Tmac gets challenged and he crumbles....

    We have NO FRICKEN leaders on this team....NONE !!!

    Someone needs to step up and push Yao and Tmac to greater heights, they are too easy to settle for being average....

    Yao's was great until the defense stepped up, and he never elevated his game.

    If the Refs did not protect Yao so well tonight, he would have been average.....and in the 4th...Yao has got to be a BULL....not a flower..

    Tmac...same thing....but teams take away Tmac, and Yao takes himself away....someone else has to step up.....

    Right now, we clearly miss Hayes.....but more than that we need someone capable of creating shots for themselves and others.

    I am telling you guys that V-Span is the answer when teams press like this....the guy can create....

    Rafer? He needs a nice bruised shin for a couple of weeks so V-Span can Wally Pipp his sorry ASS !!

    Part of the reason why yao sucked in the 4th was because he had to carry the rockets through the 3rd quarter. he was bascially our whole offense in the 3rd when tmac was in foul trouble. tmac bascially didnt play the entire 3rd, so he should of played with more enery. i never said yao was perfect, as his 8 TOs were frustrating as hell, but cut the guy some slack when he played all of the 3rd.

    No, it's simple: Yao got tired in 4th Q, and if he couldn't play at high level, we tank. Simple as that.

    I predicted 5-5, but I have to say, I'm very disappointed in the way we got to 6-4. A game we should have won in New Orleans, a collapse to the Spurs, and too many almost collapes against other teams.

    IMO I think both mcgrady and Yao get fatigued in the 4th quarter, that's why they can't do anything.

    Did you just follow the rockets starting this season? We were only a lottery team because our oh, i dunno, TWO BEST PLAYERS were injured for the majority of the season. So you can't just say 'we're a lottery team last year, cut them some slack'. Especially since with the current team, we should be contenders.
