    Did u notice how much Rockets game change when Lowry return to the game?
    Ball is moveing much slowly, less players rotation...
    After wining 4 games in a row on the road we have losses at home now:( ...
    What do u guys think?

    It's a coincidence, plus he came back in the Blazers game and our offense looked good in that. Jazz and Suns are playing for dear life and we're not playing with the same intensity. Lee is playing through injury and him and Chase aren't making the same wide open shots. Only thing I've noticed is that Dragic has become less aggressive in looking for his shot the last 2 games.

    I believe the rotation is messed up now with Lowry's return. People aren't getting the minutes they are used to and their rhythm is thrown off. Hopefully Lowry is integrated soon enough because this situation could not come at a worse time...

    Lowry looks too much to score... he's a ball stopper.

    Lowry & Dragic is not working for last 2 games. Mchale need to stop doing that. Let Lowry play from bench. Goran plays alone better! since he has been a starter.

    The mojo was there on the road. The mojo was there when the team mounted a comeback on the Jazz.

    maybe its a coincidence, but Dragic looks less confident since Lowry's returns, sharing the PG duties and playing more off the ball does seem to alter his game

    We'll only get as far as our players can take us. Someone (I think Dragic) needs to assume their role as "there goes that man" and ****ing take over the game and win!

    The answer is yes. I knew this was going to happen when Lowry came back.

    Yup. Scola's flop buddy is back. mchale needs to cut his minutes and not be afraid to use him as a back up. none of this 2 pg backcourt nonsense. He misses a bunch of games then excpects to come back and play big minutes. clearly, McHale is moving too fast with this whole transition and it's hurting the teams chemistry. Bud needs to play spot up duty at the 2 and McHale needs to keep a big on the floor at most times. Small ball and catering to Lowry has cost us two games. Coach M. needs to grow a pair or it's too late.

    Is this sorta like how the Knicks lost their mojo after Linsanity stopped?

    Let's blame it on Melo, right.

    You mean after a 30-14 3rd q to blow the lead to force Coach to scramble to score...because the centers achieved nothing in the 3rd.

    sigh

    "knew this was going to happen?" what does that mean?

    Like you are into a threesome, then the main girl pulls a hammy, and the other in her absence steps up to teach you things you only dreamed of, then the main girl comes back and now it is all weird.

    Just stop. Sometimes you shoot poorly and lose games. It happens. We just had a 4-game winning streak on the road, two of those against a pair of the best teams in the NBA.

    When you miss almost every open jumper and a lot more layups than you should, you're usually going to lose the game. It's not that we aren't getting open, it's not that we aren't getting into the paint, we're just missing shots we normally make. Simply put, it's normal variation in luck.
