    When is Rudy T going to demand this team to play some D? They seem to be playing pretty good offensively tonight against the Raptors, but how can they let the Raptors shoot 57% FG?

    Any team with offensive problems instantly solves them against the Rockets and their 47 percent opponent field goal defense.

    Tell me, why does the Rockets defense get worse when Steve is out? It's not like he's a defensive stopper or anything.

    There is this one dude named Mooch who makes Stevie look like MJ on D.

    I don't think we notice defense is the primary problem on the team because we haven't see great defense from the Rockets since 96.

    It is a lot more fun to blame the offense and bad shots, but when you can't stop anyone, it is hard to win. It is also my main problem with the 3 small guard set the Rockets try to get away with.

    Winning is all about the D, and losing is all about the lack of D.

    These guys need to realize....doesn't anyone else find it ironic that our best defender is a 19 year old kid?

    our second best defender is a 6'7 power forward
    that is highly under appreciated

    one would think they would be on the floor together even more often.

    The Rockets have shot 50% the last two games and still lost. The defense is the reason why. Opponents routinely shoot better than 50% against us, and we don't get any steals or force any turnovers. This must improve if you want to win!
