Yeah, please calm down. The Rockets won a road game against a playoff team last night. Last year was a whole different kind of choking.
The team need to wake up. Otherwise, we will be no 9 again easily..............not too many games left...........
If the Rockets keep losing winnable games (Wizards, Bucks, Mavs on the road, and Suns), it will become a similar kind of choke to last season. Playoff teams have to learn to win on the road especially against teams with losing records. There shouldn't be an excuse.
also, smith is not cutting it on defense he is completely, COMPLETELY lost on defense what happened to him?
It's feeling like deja vu to be honest. Another bad loss down the stretch. Yes they won against GSW last night but losses like tonight in a way negate wins like last night. Rox may make playoffs but I'm not totally banking on it with what I've seen down the stretch so far.
Its not just about this loss, its the fact they are consistently playing like this now. There is no anchor.
Would hope that the above post does not need to be bumped at the home stretch. That would probably mean we're out of the playoffs.
The players are who they are. It's up to the coaches to push the right buttons. otherwise Mchale should just get out of coaching. This is eerily like last season, except it's happening earlier. if we can't get past crappy teams, what'll happen if we play UTA, LAL, BKN etc again!?
Both team is playing at the second day of a back to back, but our starters played 169+161 minutes, their starter played 154+102 minutes...
He is the same as he was, the NBA's scouting is too good. His weakness got figured out and exploited.
