Rockets no win win big when Rafer plays big mins. Juwan used to be crutch on this team. Rafer has picked up that role now. This guy makes some of the most boneheaded decisions with the ball.
The Rockets would be a lock to go to the NBA finals this year if we can get a few teams to move east: The Suns, The Spurs, The Mavs, did I leave anyone out.... If Bonzi didn't play tonight he's never going to play and he's the only chance the Rockets have against the above teams.
We can't win if T-Mac plays like this. Right now T-Mac looks like Ensberg I predicted us to go 11-5 so 10-5 is not that bad...
Exactly. If you have to play the Suns in a back-to-back scenario, the fortunate teams play Phoenix the first game, or at least Phoenix would have played a road game the night before also. But neither happened and the Rockets were forced to play Phoenix with a 2 strike count.
Disgusting. Tmac cannot miss at the last minute of the game. Is that some kind of joke Tmac playing on the Rockets?
Agreed...I have no idea why they went for so many threes around the 5 minute mark in the 4th, when the game was still in reach
Are you f*ckin' high? Amare scored a total of 4 baskets when Yao was on the court, and 3 of them were spoon-fed to him when Yao was outside defending the pick n' roll. Everything he scored was on Novak or Hayes, not to mention the handful of bailout calls. He can't sniff Yao's jockstraps.
McGrady's play reminds me of that JoJo song, "Too Little Too Late" I will admit I exclaimed in joy after seeing him make 3 3's in a row. Only redeeming factor in his play tonight. I'm ready to jump back on his nuts any time. I won't give up on him no matter what, he will come around.
That is why we play so inconsistant each quarter. We have players ala Alston that decides to go away from what was working. Instead of continue to work the ball through Yao and then find open jumpers, they decide to just jack up the 3s. We will not win against a team like the Suns going 13-38 from 3s and 10-14 from the free throw line. We were only down 5 pts in the 4th when we took something like 4 3s out of 6 shots. This was our game for the taking. We let this one slip away.
I can't watch it any more. PIA! 1. our perimeter defense is horrible. Not just allowing 3s, suns can easily penetrate. 2. T-mac is just a shell of his old self.
we couldve really used bonzi tonight. hes a great low post presence and hes quick enough to guard diaw, barbosa, and marion. wtf t-mac....i dont know what to say.
I can't put too much of this on Alston. He and Yao were two of the big reasons we even got back in this game. Tracy was horrible...if he's even halfway decent tonight this is maybe a better game. We need a better rebounder badly. Don't know if it is possible, but something needs to go right with the Wells situation.
The Rockets shot 38 three pointers? Wow !! That is way too many...but that is what the Suns wanted the Rockets to do.... The Rockets did a poor job of forcing the ball to Yao...and cutting....settled too much for jumpers. 10-5 is still good. DD
Could we please forget aboout Bonzi !!!! He is sitting at home eating donoughts with a bunch of strippers
