    It's OK, I will take losing to superior teams as long as we beat the lesser teams AND an occasional win against the good ones (e.g. beating the Lakers, Hornets etc).

    You guys are just spoiled by the win streak. We're not top-playoff-seeded team material. We're still overachieving. I can't be mad at these guys. But feel free to act like idiots and vent at all the wrong people.

    if they can beat us without getting 4 lucky jumpers and a lucky shot by vaughn, then i'll say ok.

    We used to say that about Karl Malone in the early 90's.

    He is very focused this game. But it can only take you so far. From my experience, shoulder injuries require very little to no contact to get worse or to get aggravated.

    *Sighs. But letting the opposing team 64% in the first half? That's crazy.

    They could at least make it a close game with their defense. -_-

    So true, most people here can't understand that the rockets have significantly less talent then pretty much every team they play. Any good defensive team can shutdown the rockets, its not hard when you only have one scoring option.

    It happens, I think the it's too late to do make a rally now. Down 20 to the Spurs at this point for the Rockets means an insurmountable lead.

    If I ever go to another ABC nationally televised game, I'm going to bring a pair of tree branch cutters with be and cut that damned wire cam down.

    It Ok for me if the Spurs beat us by having a lot of luck. If they have a bad game still beat us, I will be truely sad.

    Luther Head on Michael Finley is a horrible matchup.

    P.S. T-Mac finally gets a whistle!

    ok t-mac needs to start yelling at the referees because this is getting pathetic.

    call kobe a whiner but there is a reason why he gets the calls, he's always talking smack to the refs

    Finally a voice of reason on this board. Damn, all we really need is one year where both Yao and Tracy stay healthy.

    That's part of the game plan going in, though. Adelman came into the game and told everyone to force the Spurs to take outside jumpers. Well, they have and they've made a killing doing it. So 'packing the lane' hasn't worked too well. Sure, we could've played better D at times, but not enough to make up for the huge gap right now.

    Bottom line is this: this was a Rockets loss from the very beginning. 0-1 is 0-1 regardless of how it's done.

    tmac's jumper is GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE. he's beating bowen off the dribble with ease, but u gotta make a jumper to keep the defense honest.
