    Offensively speaking, I'd have to agree 100%. The Rockets have shown no desire to play a team oriented offense. Set some picks. Pass the ball. Get an open shot!!!!

    The rocket's are not a good team this season.

    All of our wins were against struggling teams. None of the opponents who lost to us were over .500

    When we have to play .500 teams or higher we reveal the true side of the team. Crap.

    Maybe if you count 'having a brain' into this talents formula, the Rockets might not as talented as you thought.

    We are the most talented AND1 TEAM in the world!

    Watching games like this is not worth it. Take a rest.
    You don't need to come back until every player on the Rox team understands that Yao is the #1 option, for every second he is on the court, and feed him every time possible. Before they realize that, this team is ugly to watch. Without super performance from yao, they may win a game or two with dumb luck, but that is all. And that is not worth keeping an eye on, and definitely not worth getting your blood pressure high.

    Why are you arguing with farhan? He's one of those that believes in keeping Steve on the team even if he's 60 years old and walking with a cane.

    You are right about that. I've noticed that in the past 3-4 games he consistently missed dunks....:mad:
    I dont even know what to say...I dont want to see Cato start anymore...Let him practice his shot....his dunk shot..

    I am not sure if Yao just went out of way quietly or guards ignored him,or JVG's plan to let steve take over, whatever reason, Yao's offense was sidelined. MoT got the freaking ball, not Yao. Freaking guards were playing without mindset there is a 7'6 moving giant underneath. Right now, guards, MoT, and Yao play own ball, it's old iso again. Ball movement is gone.

    What stinks is you are calling them two of the weakest teams, yet they both have a better record than our Rockets. Plus, one of them has been playing without one of their best players. :(

    Rockets are just too inconsistent in their game. It's really hard to watch even when they win. I'm starting to agree with alot of people that say a trade is needed. Man, losing sucks! Rockets really need to win 4 game in row to make me happy again. I passed up going out to watch this game.......:rolleyes: it's tough being a hardcore fan.

    Maybe you are true. But indeed Rockets loses to the good teams on road. Let save your words before Rockets got beaten by good teams constantly in Toyota Centre.

    We then will lose to Spurs. You want to see spurs to beat warriors, because we are in the same class as warriors not spurs.

    But does Yao understand that he can be the #1 guy? I don't think so... he still feels that players can outmuscle him, and he doesn't have that killer instinct yet.

    But... killer instincts aren't engrained overnight. They come around, just like it did for Olajuwon and Jordan... and you can already see a little of that fire from Yao.

    Everybody's pressing, and everyone's so tight that if you shoved rocks up their... you'd get diamonds.

    Maybe JVG has a little bit to do with keeping this team always on the 'edge'... but we'll have to look at the big picture (entire season) to get a full read on this.

    I don't know what game you were watching. We needed a stop and Daniels gets a backdoor layup. Always happens. Need I bring up the Kings game, Utah, Portland....

    Man, Jim Jackson is really having a hard time making his shots. His shooting slump has been pretty bad the past week. Tonight he went 5-14 for 12pts.

    Keep Francis.

    Trade MoT/Cato for a real PF (near-all star).

    Or, trade Cat with MoT/Cato for an all-star PF.

    Exactly what I was thinking. There is really no positive outcome in spurs winning or loosing.
    The loose, they stay behind the rockets for a while but Golden State gets closer.
    They win, they tie the rockets...

    :confused:
