    Duncan stepped on Yao's foot and that's a shooting foul on Yao? :mad:

    I have said it before and will say it again: this team does NOT need a ballhandler (you can't top McGrady and you don't want to take the ball our of his hands), we don't need ANYTHING or ANYONE other than a backcourt of spot-up sharpshooters. In other words, the 1994/95 Rockets blueprint.

    With McGrady and Yao, ALL you need are guards who will make teams pay and keep defenses honest. Remember when we rolled last year after the trades? What changed then? Look back at that 7 or 8 game road-trip that we swept last year. What happened was that Wesley, Barry, and other guards were shooting lights-out. When we struggled towards the end of March/beginning of April last season, what was the primary issue? All of a sudden, our guards couldn't shoot worth a lick.

    I am telling you: the long-term solution is to find and/or nurture spot-up shooters, which could be done on the cheap if the right scouting is there (which I think the Rockets severly lack as an organization, something the Spurs/Mavs have done a great job at).

    Shooters are the answer, now it's time to see where we can get them.

    My name is _____ and I'm a Rok-a-holic and yes they are sucking right now. You have to vent because if you internalize your frustrations it could lead to hemorrhoids. :D

    Spurs are just better right now. If they play at that level in may/june, they'll be hard to beat.

    As far as the Rockets, they might want to learn how to make an open jumpshot on a regular basis and teach Derek Anderson how to fight through screens. Honestly, Luther Head deserves to start right now. He has shown more in his playing time than any other guard this season. This is sad though, all the guards have to do on this team is essentially hit open looks, feed the post, and be solid on team defense. And right now they can't do it.

    You just cannot leave Big Shot Rob alone like that.

    I love that foul when Duncan stepped on Wesley's foot. I don't really know what the heck they are calling

    You guys are talking like the game is already over, and the rockets lost. :mad: please STFU for once and show some spirit instead of blaming gundy all the time.

    If Swift doesn't see the floor, this is why.

    our ability to get long rebounds is ridiculous. our guards couldn't rebound a ball to save their life.

    Duncan actully stepped on Wesley's foot, but they called the foul on Yao. :rolleyes:

    And Van Exel was taken out not because he double teamed on Yao, but he double teamed on Swift.
