it's sad, but everytime i come here i find that a large portion of clutchfans, or at least the ones who post, really have no faith in their team at all. after every loss comes an overdramatic reaction consisting of some cry for help or some trade talks involving whoever did poorly that game. 10-13, after starting 3-10 or something like that, isn't bad at all. and all these people who are after yao's head since he "couldn't win without tmac" just gotta look at the schedule. sure, we should have won those 2 games early against the hornets and the magic even with tmac out, but it was the 2nd and 3rd games of the season. after adding so many offseason pieces once again, it's not out of the ordinary that they weren't fully comfortable with each other yet, and even now. but look at the other teams we lost to with tmac injured. teams such as the pistons, pacers, mavs, heat, grizzlies, suns. they're all winning teams, and actually playoff teams. so even the fact that we were so close in some of those games is saying something. now look at our upcoming schedule, even if yao really is going to be out for 3 weeks. it's nothing tmac can't handle. there are 58 games left, people. all you "fans" whining about not making the playoffs really need to calm down.
The Rockets will make the playoffs; they have too much talent not to. Any team with Yao/McGrady playing in the majority of the games is a lock for the playoffs.
Of course. And if any team with McGrady/Yao fails to make the playoffs, it's a reflection of the inadequacy of the coach.
How's that stock price, now? You have Rybo as a featured starter. Stromile is such a liability he can't be kept on the court, even when we have only 8 healthy players, most of them NBDL talent. Things are so bad Moochie looked good, then he went down, too. Quote : "We have enough to win"
