One of the dumbest plays THIS YEAR! Foul a on a desperate 3 point heave and then get a T on top of it.
Rockets were down 6 at that point anyway. I'd be mad if the Rockets were up a few points and it swung the lead the other way. The Suns got key baskets from Jacobsen and Marion. When Piatkowski and Mobley are bricking it, the Rockets will have problems.
How could Yao not have a great game when the Suns have literally no PF on their entire active roster?
Refs costing Rox the game. Not all refs fault though. Rox forgot to bring their defense in the 4th. Might as well be a layup session with the dunkfest the Suns put up tonight. Francis played stupidly with costly turnovers, forced shots, and letting his emotions getting the better of him. Yao didn't get a chance to be an impact in tonights game. Mobley had a poor game, JJ couldn't hit anything even with repeated shot attempts in the same possession. The only bright spot was Cato and the Rox should NEVER have to rely on the kind of production he put up in order to stay close in a game. I've noticed the amount of posts here on this board have dwindled. I think a lot of fans have lost interest in this team given the same costly mistakes game in and game out. I certainly know I am.
Before this game at least Rockets played well against Eastern Conference teams and lottery teams, but now they don't!
The players will blame it all on the refs. Hopefully the coaching staff and front office will see the real problems and finally make a frickin trade.
Yao going to be on Sportscenter with the Marion dunk. It's too bad since JJ was the guy who got schooled, and Yao tried to go over to block the shot to no avail.
This year I noticed a BAD HABIT of Yao. He always, always, ALWAYS dunks with this right hand now. NO matter what. He will go out of his way to switch to his right hand to dunk. Even if that means moving the ball to the side where the defender is. He actully puts the ball in harms way by doing this. This is VERY BAD! He's used to be able to use his left hand for lay-ups. But now, he's one-dimensional. He does not switch hands on fakes or lay-ups or dunks, even if doing so would give him more leverage to fend off defenders.
It's always the refs. That's why you attempted twice as many freethrows before you purposedly fouled the Suns in the end.
What's Steve Francis' record this year? 1 semi decent game out of every 8 games? I had enough of this stupid play. I'm not even mad at the boneheaded shots any more cuz they are routine now. 2 8-sec violations, 3 24-sec shot clock violations, 5 travels by this backcourt along with 50 million turnovers. Is there a worse backcourt in this league?
Doesn't matter the Suns frontcourt is completely depleted. They have no PFs and Amare was defending Yao in the past. Scott Williams is 6'10, Jahidi White is 6'9 and Jake Voskul maybe maybe is 6'11. That's all of the Suns players that are playing and are taller than 6'7.
