I watched the game last night. Memphis played phenomenally. They hit shots that typically they don't make. That said, sometimes you have to give the other team some credit. As for the 'terrible' Rocket performance .... ... our rookie Center has a fifth straight double-double. Did you notice that Drew Gooden, a very good rookie for the Griz scored 6 and had 5 boards. Hmmm... who wins that 'match-up'? ... Mr. Francis bangs three quarter ending three pointers ... each critical ... scores 29 ... rebounds and passes pretty well ... but no, he isn't clutch? What a crock of **** that is. ... Mobley is playing with a bad toe ... probably shouldn't even be on the court ... still blows by people throughout the game ... buries several 3's from the corner ... but like Steve ... a less than perfect overtime makes him a choker. What?! I will acknowledge that our forwards are very much a work in progress ... but in truth ... we are one power forward away from being a dominant team (assuming that KT and EG are small forwards playing out of position). This is without a doubt the best Rocket team in years ... and by the second half of the season it will be one of the five best teams in the league ... instead of suffering massively with each loss ... why not sit back and enjoy the growth that the team is enjoying. I am pretty darn convinced that many of you watched the Victoria Secret special and complained that the women just weren't pretty enough.
Its funny how the position that we are weakest at, forward, is the position that we are deepest at?????
Thanks alot code for that post. I could not have said it better myself. When I was watching the game I knew that memphis was really making some phenomonal shots. All we can do is just pick ourselves up and keep going. Lets not stress every game, we will make it to the playoffs.
I don't think it is mood swing in some cases (speaking for myself); it is rather is bad case of deja vu. We have seen it before (and kept mummmh) and we must not be subjected to living with stupid decision making. I don't ask for much; just play hard, smart and as ONE team. I want to optimistically believe that things will get better. I wish we would not see this 2 steps forward-2 steps backwards picture of the Rox we (I) have seen so far this season.
Yeah, seriously. After windandsea's revelation about being female, I have to think that 90% of the posters here are women and suffer from permanent PMT.
