why do i keep hearing that there is no excuse for losing 15 in a row? yeah it's terrible. sure we are the worst team in the league. losing used to bother me but now i'm used to it. the fact is we have four major injuries (mo, rice kt, steve). steve is not just our best player he is our leader in points, rebounds, assists, and steals. think of a team (not the rockets): now take that away from them, and i'm sure they will hit a losing streak of their own. now take away that teams 3rd best player (Mo), and from that hobbled team take away the guy that will step up as a make shift go to guy (kt). and if thats not bad enough, take away the veteran leadership (rice) and tell me how good that team your thinking of is. people still want to blame the coach. its not rudy's fault the rockets have become a special olympic's team. no one was complaining when we were 5-1 and healthy. we should keep our heads up (i'm not talking about Real GM's e-mailing service) and our frustration to ourselves, because injuries heal and we will rise again.
Here's another excuse why we've lost 15 games in a row -- the 15th team was the Lakers. That was a pretty good game last night, all in all.
ive allways beenimpressed with our competitiveness against the top teams. now if we could just close out a game
I hope when Francis comes back the rest of the team continues with that competitiveness, and we just add Francis in to the mix. What i don't want to see is play from other drop off just because francis is back.
We shouldn't have loss to the Bulls! or the Grizzlies and I thought we blew the Indiana Game! Did you see that the Clippers picked up Eldrige Recasner?? I thought he played well with us.
A well-run team will NEVER lose 15 games in a row, no matter what injuries occur. -- some people were complaining when the team was 5-1 because they had struggled to beat crappy teams -- the rockets were 2-6 in the last 8 games that all 3 of steve, cuttino and KT were healthy
False. Just because a player was playing doesn't mean he was healthy. The demise of this season started when Steve and Cuttino originally were both playing hurt. They were not the same, and neither was the team. When the Rockets were fully healthy (outside of Mo Taylor), they were 5-2.
We were losing when we were healthy and struggling at the beginning to beat sorry teams. I was complaining then, and I'm stil b****ing. If we just play hard like we did against LA, we wouldn't have a 15games losing streak. We could have beat the Bulls, Memphis , and even Denver and thats when we had Steve. All I look for is effort. If we play hard, i can accept it more than the efffort that they put out against 2 of the worst teams in the league.
