BBS down for a long time. Anyways..I don't know about what y'all saw..but from what I saw..I SAW SOME OF THE WORST OFFICIATING EVER. These guys SUCK. There's no time to complain cuz the game is going so fast..but BOY DO THESE REFEREES SUCK. And wow I turned it to ESPN..went right back to Fox Sports after 5 seconds because I heard Tom Tolbert say give the ball to Nash Ryan Bowen can't guard him... Idiot. Ryan Bowen, Dikembe Mutombo, and Jon Barry..as well as Mike James were great. Tmac was MVP like. Sura was tough and did good whole game..was horrible at the end. Wesley was very cold in beginning..but later on very well. Yao even though plagued by stupid calls by stupid refs..I liked what he did tonight..he played with motivation..I could see he was getting more and more aggressive. He was ready to drop 50 on them at one point..I could feel it..he was fighting for position and stuff. I wonder why Marion was out for so long. And I'm glad Walter McCarty wasn't on tonight..he usually is a big mismatch for us and tongith didn't do any damage. Amare whines a helluva lot. They foul a helluva lot and the refs rarely blow their darn whistle. Are they biased against the Rockets or Yao or just blind? I don't know..but wow they suck. Nash is amazing..I think they should run pick and roll more often..we cannot defend that..they're just too quick..and Q Rich and Joe Johnson need to get more involved..they need to move around and stuff..along with Nash..then truly unstoppable. EMAN34 I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU. THEY ARE BASTARDS. I feel contempt for the Suns seriously. Celtics too. I never hated Lakers though..I thought that was a good rivalry. I disliked the old Jazz with Malone cuz they would beat us and would be dirty..but I do not hate any team as much as I hate the Suns. And waht's that someone threw something at Mutombo? WTF? And nothing happens? I'm sorta glad we have guys like Vin Baker and Torraye Braggs ready to back Mutombo up if any fan wants to initiate a fight. I was angry at these stupid refs..I'm glad we won though. Still..even though I can't do anything about it..the officiating is almost unacceptable..and needs to be addressed...or maybe I was just too sensitive about it tonight. McGrady is the man..btw Suns can't play defense. AT ALL. Amare just charged on Padgett and they called blocking foul. That's just one example of a messed up call. I want to go see Mutombo's interview.
A near collapse in the end but we made it. We need to overcome our weaknesses as quickly as possible for the playoffs.
FIrst off that was offensive GOALTENDING anyways so i consider that poetic justice. Secondly, the Rockets played well 2night....should have put the game away 2night earlier in my opinion. But what can i say, Rockets played like their tough-selves 2night and won a game they should have won. I'm glad our shooters got their shots back on 2night.....i'm glad YAO played tough...but he missed some key rebounds.
I have said it all along. For every positive thing Sura brings, he brings 2 negatives. Sure he can rebound good for a guard and is a tough competitior, but he is also a bonehead who dribbles too much, does not know how to look for a 7-6 guy, has a slow release and inconsistent outside shooter, and makes terrible decision with the ball especially late in the games. Oh and did I forget to mention that he cant make clutch free throws. Those free throws sums him up. You cant rely on that guy in clutch situations.
I'm so glad we won!! That made listening to Brent Musberger slurp Amare and the Suns for 2 and a half hours almost tolerable!! Geesh, I never want that man calling a Rockets game again
Another BIG win when we needed it. Got to keep those Nuggets behind us. Is it me, or did it seem Mussberger & Tobert weren't really watchng the game? They can't talking about the Rockets upset that they felt Deke was fouled, yet it was the fact he freakin' had a goaltend. Then they show the replay, and Tolbert remarks how it was clean. WTF, hello! The ball was OVER the cylinder! Then they say that the Rockets have nothing to do with them missing shots. Ridiculous! OK, venting out of the way. Got to get that one in Seattle (they aren't playing their best right now) and lets bring it on home. Side note: Those Sun dancers are freakin' fine as hell!!!
Brent Mussburger... You would have thought we were playing the '96 Bulls the way this guy was having an orgasm just reading their starting lineup.
It's amazing that Tom Tolbitch and Brent Pussberger could even talk tonight with their mouths so tightly around the nutsacks of all the Suns. They sure were quiet during the Rockets runs and almost spewing on each other whenever the Suns made a shot. I don't care how we won, I'm just glad we did because Tolbitch and Pussberger were making me sick.
Wow, Sura really choked for us near the end. Man, for a PG, he really needs to learn time management.
Man - Let's give the Rockets credit: Johnson, McCarty and Qrich didn't play well because of the ROckets D.
I agree. Sura needs to play with better judgement down the stretch of games like this or the Rockets won't last long in the playoffs. What was with that underhanded shot attempt, at least square up and shoot a jumper. I personally do not like Sura as a free throw option at the end of games because although he can shoot them, pressure FTs are different and his lack of shooting touch really becomes exposed when the pressure is on to make them.
did JVG have brain freeze at the end of this one. That is so frustrating to have sura determine if you win or not. He's not even the 5th option on this team.
I thin kSura was trying to draw a foul on the first 24 shot clock violation. Before that, he knocked down a lot of 3's. And he is tough and gets rebounds. At one poitn..we needed his rebounding and toughness when they were aggressive in 4th. But wow in the end not so nice. Whenever we need to score, we need to give it to Yao down low. Yao really needs to improve his stamina...but once he gets that..and gets that attitude to fight and dominate ..then we'll be unstoppable..as long as everyone's healthy. Tmac is really amazing.
J Barry! I just love to have him come back. He was so inspiring and ever since he came into the game, everybody else especially wesley just started to make their wwwwwwide open shots, which we did not make any of them in the 1st qt and quickly was down by 14pts. wow, folks, I think we are for real as long as our four guards can make perimeter shots at a decent level... Now, let's take care of the business in Seattle next week, and I will cheer for my Warrior to beat the nuggets (will go to the game). Good night, everyone!
That guy just pi*sed me off to no end. He was treating them like they won the last 10 championships. Even when Rockets made a run, and they were going to commercials, the idiot goes on to say something like....well remember the Suns are playing back to back while the Rockets have had a couple of days of rest. According to him the top 5 runners for MVP of NBA this year are Amare, Shawn Marion, Steve Nash, Joe Johnson and Q Richardson, and the Suns have already won this year's championship but they get to play anyways so we can all watch, admire, and bow down to the heavenly basketball they play. Gave me all that much pleasure when the Rockets beat the Suns the second time they played in their arena.
