    Knee-Jerk, Knee-Jerk.


    Give it up. It's a slump. Every team has at least one a season.

    The Rockets are not giving up, and Rick is too good of a coach to let the team become lottery bound.

    I knew it was coming...those "told you so" folks saying..."YES! MY TIME IS NOW!!", after that 20-13 had em hitting Ctrl+Alt+Del. Now that the 4-7 January has come, it's time to start being b**** made again.

    awesome...

    Ariza is playing horrible and is taking too many shots, Chuck is no offensive powerhouse but plays his role DAMNED WELL, Shane is inconsistent offensively, Carl is being double teamed now so he isn't putting up great numbers and the two best players we have on the team are our points (even though Aaron has his moments) Luis is good but he hasn't and honestly i don't think he can take his game to another level...

    we are in desperate need of some help as a team but the Trade dealine is little more than 3 weeks away.... hopefully we can get an injection of energy to bring this team back to life... until then we're going to be what we are now

    Haha, Hayesfan! I bet you are! Personally, I'm not. If we're going with another big please let him be 6'10 or above!

    That said, I'm sure Patterson would make me eat those words if he ended up with the Rockets.

    P Squared is working hard to be a Scola/Chuck/Landry hybrid. He has been shooting outside (making threes this season and learning to take his man off the dribble) and he's doing better defensively (though not nearly as great as Chuck - but better than the other two) and he can dunk off two feet. :) You'd love him!

    I'm not ready to throw in the towel, but if we do get Patrick, that's the best case scenario after ending up missing the playoffs. At least.. best case since we can't have my John John.

    getting a good lottery pick would be nice... after all the playoffs are too much to bother with when your team is broken.

    So either Morey makes a big move and we make playoffs

    or

    Morey doesnt make move, we get top 10 pick (possibly) + MLE player (likely if we dont make move this year) + retain Scola and Lowry..


    Sure playoffs are better, but its almost a win win for us this year with no expectations.....of course we could always make the playoffs w/o making a move too ;)

    Udoh in the lottery? He'll leave Baylor for sure if that's where he's projected at.

    Nah, he's the kind of fan who made a pessimistic prediction, then wait until we finally hit a losing skid to brag about how right he was. He'll go away as soon as we start winning again.

    I wants me one of them too! I want one with the convenience of being automatic with full-on bolt action!

    conspiracy theory:

    what if the rockets have been tanking the last month and we just dont know it yet. confused? what if JT and cbud really are lighting it up in practice over battier and ariza but coach plays the battriza combo to better the chance of losing? same as to why he didnt play landry the whole fourth a few games ago, same as to why he plays anderson more than hayes now and scola still starts over landry....every gm in the league would chose landry over scola yet on our team landry cant get past scola because of loyalty. I heard a couple years ago Scola only came to nba to start, if rockets bench him, oh boy we dont need another drama.
