I unfortunately watched this entire game. I don't think I have come across a group clueless set of players in recent rockets history. Since Francis was having such a tough time making any shots, he decided that he would take more shots then he has probably all year to try and win the game by himself. That is how you win games, when you are a highy skilled "point guard" that can contribute in more ways then to keep taking one on one jump shots, you just keep taking those jump shots and hope they go in. He finished the game shooting 9-27 for 25 points and 1 assist. Yao Ming "struggling", shoots 6-12 for 20 points. Oh yea, I don't think Yao even touched the ball in either over time besider the one time he had that meaningless jump shot. Oh and nice shots at the end of regulation and over time, way to go steve! With plently of time to attach the basket or maybe even penetrate and PASS he takes these ridiculous prayer 3 point shots. He has to be one of the most intelligent players in NBA history. The rockets are 6-3 but if they don't make a move to get another good player they will not make the playoffs. Beating up on miami, denver and chicago is not gonna get it done. This is not a playoff team.
you know, this woul dhave been a fabulous post to go into the game thread at the top of the page. Inthe future please take advantage of that thread for your game reactions. lock please
Everything you said is wrong. This is a playoff team and it doesnt need trades. The players are awsome and this is one of the best teams in the league. I saw great chemistry to the point I dont even want Kobe to mess with this chemistry. When you have cato playing this great we dont need anymore help.
Unfortunately Yao isn't ready to take those shots at the end of games. He just couldn't get open and wasn't being aggressive. Thus, we had no choice but to let our guards create their own shots. It sucked, but what are we gonna do? Give Boki the ball? It just showed why the last few years sucked so bad and why we need Yao to develop.
SF+Cat is not a playoff team. That's always the truth of Rockets. Many bad games like this are coming......... Just hope Yao Ming can grow healthly there.
This is a playoff-caliber team and we sure do not need trades. It seemed that they were passing the ball more earlier in the season and they have to realign themselves with that strategy because it seems that they are forcing plays. But no need to worry, I believe in this team and they will be just fine. Hey Sweetie, if you think this Rockets team is a playoff team, then why do you have them ranked #10 in your signature? itzIce
