    Watching Mike James is painful...he has tunnel vision - Yao right next to him, but he throws up a prayer.

    After that typical lazy 3p by Tmac when we had 11pts lead, what offense did we run? Tmac is freezing everybody out, using them as bailout options. Raptors meantime is gaining momentum as a unit.

    Ball is always in TMac's hands. We are going to get BLOWN OUT.

    Dude he's passed a couple of times but our no one's even taking the damn open shot (ie Mike James), and instead settling for a worse shot

    Do the Rockets even care?

    We can't even get a shot. Mike James had two great games to start the season, since then, he's been a zero.

    I'm confused. That was ugly. T-mac forgetting his teammates exist, nobody passing to Yao, Yao missing on the few shots he does get. Hopefully they'll get their collective heads out of the butts and put together a good final quarter.

    TMac is killing, but he is killing Rockets. See nobody has the energy to play.

    Tracy has turned the game into 1 on 5 in the first half everyone was sharing the ball was moving and he shut it all down and went 1 on 5. He forced entry passes to chuck hayes and steve was open in the corner. He sabotaged the lead by himself, he destroyed the TEAM rythym.

    what happened to Rockets' offense. It all started with TMac's ill-advised jumped shots at the start of the 3rd quarter.

    What is the excuse now?

    there is no fronting, no quick double teams, no quick PF like Boozer on you, only crappy Nesterovic

    oh, I see maybe no Rafer?? yeah right.

    don't tell me you cannot beat Nesterovic as supposedly the best C in the league and a co leader of this team. just sad. All I see in this game is Ming standing there as an on court observer. No rebounding, no D, nothing.

    This just pisses me off we are trailing the crappy Raptors.

    Well seems like this is what our game looks like without Rafer... our PG take a real long time to get the ball up the court and pass it to T-Mac in a bad spot. Then nobody knows what to do and watch T-Mac trying to create something.

    One of the worst quarters I've seen the Rockets play :(

    Just horrible basketball, let's hope that they will wake up in the 4th

    What do you think would happen if McGrady didn't even play today?

    We would be down 12 or 15 instead of 6.

    Hmm... seems like T-mac was never this out of control when there was a more authoritative figure coaching him.

    Then again, I stand by the fact that the rest of this team doesn't seem to be putting forth max effort... including #11.

    Rockets were overconfident when the 3rd quarter started. Many bad shot selections. And momentum went away...

    Yao played too passive this game so far.
