    Why? Because they dominate our backcourt and make them their personal biatches?

    The answer is to somehow counter them, not hate on them.

    He's actually missed a few of these... its almost as if he's befuddled why he's getting such a great look, and great position.

    Most of the Rockets have missed some easy shots tonight... wide open 3's, wide open jumpers, point blank layups... and if they're not doing that, they're playing horrible help defense, silly turnovers, and allowing some of the pansiest dribble penetration I've ever seen.

    If the Spurs were in championship form, this game wouldn't be close... and when you realize that they actually do have a 13 point lead, I guess it really isn't that close.

    I agree. But that's our guards' job. As a fan of Rox, I just hate them! :)

    And now, the specactular YOF BBS effect.... if Yao has a great game, but the Rockets lose, the bbs is actually a happy place.

    Mission failed there...

    Uhh... Yao's touched the ball almost every single possesion (basically because they're not fronting him).

    Yao already has more attempts this game than almost the last two games combined.

    It's simple:

    Rockets - Regular gasoline

    Spurs - Premium

    We need Adolf Hitler III for a coach.. These guys are just taking it easy.

    :eek:

    Our backcourt is old and undersized. Atleast the ones JVG throws out there.

    TP and Manu are killin us on the pick-n-roll. The rox have a hard time dealin with the pick-n-roll this season and last season.

    ESPN power rankings have us too high.

    Looks like another of those "try to figure out who we are before the loss column gets too big" seasons.

    Head was getting his ass handed to him... so was DA.

    Its ALL the guards... Raefer, Barry, DA, Wesley, Head.

    Bobby Sura needs to get well... he is still the heart and soul of this team... and you know he wouldn't let TP or Ginobili prance thru the lane without at least ONE hard foul.
