I just hope that JVG is a realist and not a dreamer and that his intelligence is forced, by tonights game play into knowing that we are just not a very good team! In fact we are a very middle of the road team and significant changes will be required during the off season. Getting into the playoffs might be a lesson in futility.
Heart will only get you so far, until you run into better and more talented teams. It's not an "either" or "or", it take talent, chemistry, and heart. To win it all, all these factors must be alligned just right.
i miss Cuttino. The Rockets need a shooter like monkeys need trees. TIM THOMAS. move Thomas to the SF and Tmac back to SG.
I'm sorry, but T-Mac's problems had better be legit. This is ridiculous. I'm sick of making up BS to defend him to friends. I'm running out of material.
which makes it all the more ridiculous that he isn't being invited to the U.S. team for the olympics.
By the way, Wesley was playing hurt, so his bad shooting is understandable, though the injury is really a bad timing. From the stats, Tmac did OK, 3-6 3pt shooting aint bad. Alston 8ast 0 turnover is good. His shooting percentage this season is just slightly below his career average, so I suppose that's within normal range. From the stats, we lost mainly due to poor 3-pt shooting. That makes me wonder maybe Rockets should really take less 3-pt, ie JVG should change the game plan.
Yeah, heart. Like Ryan Bowen Heart? Listen, I know the team is lacking "heart" right now but this game could of been easily won if they would of made some shots earlier in the game. That's all I' am saying. 3-11 from Wes, 5-15 from Skip ain't gonna get it done.
Was at the game sitting pretty close to swift. He seemed healthy as he was active during the pregame warmups. Also was working out at the freethrow line about an hour before tipoff.
I really think this is the game will cause us the playoff. Everyone sucked tonight, includes Yao. I know he had double-double tonight, but his decision in the last few minutes of 4th caused us the game. He missed FOUR straight shots by taking fade-away when guarded by much smaller players, purely stupid!
We didn't defend well against their penetration and we didn't hit our threes. Same story. My understanding is that Gerald Fitch is a solid defensive player at the PG position. Why not put him in there to defend against the Nashes and Iversons, instead of Luther Head? Alston has been lit up the last 2 games on the defensive end.
yea i didnt really understand why yao faded away in the end, when he clearly could dominate salembert
Yao did his job, T-Mac was better. If our guards could make a few more wide open shots....Our guards sucks.
Wake me up from the Rockets-induced coma when we can actually beat a good team and win a game in our division. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
