Is his injury a lingering one? I heard he is a choker in playoff and he plays no defense. Let's hope the Greek guy can deliver AND Tmac recover.
Stop acting like a buncha babies, jesuz. Who honestly thought we would win this one? It's a mismatching heaven, but it's for the Suns. We lost, it's highly likely that we will lose again before the end of the season, get over it. I'm not worrying about Tmac's *ability*, it's his *attitude*. We all know, and had the privilege to witness his awesome bball skill, but dude looks like he's mentally broken down these days. Just remeber Yao had his fair share of bad games in the past. Damn why can't we have both of our superstars in their prime condition at the same time? We're cursed.
Btw, it's a crying shame that idiot YOF have to put down tracy to make there idol look good. if yao knew anout you fools, he would shake his head in disbeliefe.
especially with Wesley limping and 2 steps slow. Wesley hurt > Barry healthy? Gundy does some really stupid things sometimes. As my tv mate said last night, he is an oddball.
uh the game I was watching, the Rockets pretty much were playing a zone, with five guys ringing the paint and the Suns sitting out at the 3p line hitting 3's with no-one in their face. The guy in the Suns' left corner was never guarded and hit shot after shot all night long. Gundy did choose to defend penetration, which the Suns did anyway, and scored. We did let them shoot 3's and they they scored. And they won. So you are saying just continue to let the Suns' win? and Gundy just concedes the Rockets cannot defend the Suns 1 on 1. And his zone - help defense is like Shottenheimer's old prevent defense. The only thing it prevents is victory. Missing: Barry and Hayes. 3p shooter and a young quick rebounder with good fundamentals.
I hope tmac gets better soon because without him we aren't sniffing the playoffs- even with Yao's improved game. And if Yao knew about your grammer and spelling, he'd shake his head in "disbeliefe".
Ryan Bowen needs to grow some balls and compain to JVG about playing time. He needs more playing time with Tmac sucking last couple of games. Free Ryan Bowen!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAH Free? You couldn't give him to another team for FREE !! Ryan Bowen should have his testicles NAILED to the bench, to keep him from ever entering an NBA game again. Play Chuck Hayes over Ryan..... DD
If these last two suns games have showed me anything, we are clearly not ready for the big leagues. There is simply not enough talent and youth on this team. What we need are big tall guys who are quick and can shoot. That's what Pheonix has, that's what Dallas has, that's what Detroit has. We are just completely devoid of role players with size, speed, and shooting ability. Wesley - slow midget who can shoot Head - medium speed midget who really can't shoot Alston - fast and medium sized, but can't shoot Howard - slow, medium sized, can shoot Hayes - fast midget who can't shoot Swift - fast and tall, but dumb and can't shoot Exceptions: Bogans, Tmac
Has Bogans hit an outside shot since his first game? Anyway, until the Rockets get some players who can hit wide-open shots they are going to be very easy to defend. And beat. Not ready for primetime, not even close. Last years this team was hitting the open shot with some regularity, mostly Barry, James, and Sura (besides TMac and Ming). They don't play anymore. Ming is playing some of his best ball, but if TMac keeps shooting 30% or below the Rockets are toast. There is simply no one to pick up the slack.
After Bowen chucked a duck up, Worrell was telling Clyde about how Ryan always made all his jumpers in pregame. Clyde just chuckled. It's to the point where my sphincter tightens up when I see him checking in at the scorer's table. My 6 year old daughter has better form on her jumper than he does.
I like to see Lampje more. He runs very well for a big like him. Deke needs to retire this offseason. Its painful to watch him run. Also I would like Fitch to be given a try. Head can't shoot no more.
We are not as good as the Suns...It was evident b/f the all-star break and nothing has changed...No one should have expected us to win...
We are not as good as them with a diminished Tmac. We would have beat the crap out of them last night if we had the Tmac in the playoff last season. With the way Yao is playing, we can beat anyone if Tmac returns to his normal form.
I agree, simple and to the point. How the hell can you not like both at the same time? Seriously, you're not a true Rockets fan if you have to downplay one of our two star to make the other one look good...its so pointless as evident already that we need both of them to win period. I'm getting sick of this goin back and forth between the two fans. If you love the Rockets and want your favorite of the two star to win...please do us a favor and be loyal to both of them!
