Amare tottaly owned the paint tonight. he had the better of yao. tracy was thrash. alston thrash. only head and battier were good.
I want him to rotate players into the game....V-Span, Novak....J-Ho....just get some guys some rest.... Not everyone at once, but you have to give some of these guys some rest...and Rafer is just painful....just painful ... DD
We will ALWAYS have problems with the Suns. Their guards basically have a field day with our backcourt defense, leaving our big men out to dry.
JVG? Did you see how our "superstar best player" played tonight. Not much effort, terrible shooting. turnovers. Tmac sucked tonight.
do u know why we are losing today? look at tmac's stat T. McGrady G 30:15 6-23 1-6 1-2 freaking trade him away!!!!
Suns were playing at home on two days rest, and the Rockets were on the road on a back-to-back. That's a death sentence. I wouldn't start with the doom and gloom based on this game.
If the Suns had a back to back they would be sucking and Rockets would be winning. I still believe in the Rockets and once they get their true roster down they will be a scary team.. I just hope Bonzi and Sura do contribute before it is all said and done...
I think if we're healthy all year long, we're a fifth or sixth seed. I think the Spurs, Mavs, Jazz, Suns, and one of the Clippers/Nuggets/Warriors will be fifth seed. The Rockets are either a 5th or 6th seed team in the West. Good team but not much better than a 2nd tier team in the West.
I don't think either Amare or Yao really OWNED the paint. In fact, Amare is just getting in on the easy points, not exactly what I call by owning. Yao is tired, and its a back to back, so its understandable. But if t-mac is hurt, he should just rest, and know to when to call it quits before he starts hurting the team.
The problem is that the bench is too much of a liability. Except for perhaps V-Span, none of the players in question have shown that they are capable of playing key minutes against a contending team.
You also have to give your team the best chance to win... and that involves playing your best players. If the Rockets didn't go nuts in that 3rd quarter with Yao and the starters, this would have never become a game. And right now, the only player that matters to the Rockets is Yao Ming... and fatigue couldn't have been an excuse for him tonight.
WTF? WHY DIDNT THE TEAM JUST KEEP STICKING WITH WHAT WE DID WHEN WE MADE A 22 POINT COMEBACK? FEED YAO AND KICK IT OUT IF NEEDED? INSTEAD WE HAVE TMAC BRICKING SHOTS AND ****. URGH.
