    There was a constant in most of these highlights.

    David Lee did something wrong on defense.

    most of these positive comments were said of the Rockets under Adelman. We never had a chance to see what Adelman could do with a healthy lineup since his achievements were made mostly with either one or two superstars injured. They just played good team ball and it was fun to watch.

    And then the rockets decided not to renew adelman....

    Agree. Especially motivation and team chemistry can elevate a mediocre team's play. I mean, none of NBA players is plain bad. They either lack motivation, play out of position, are disgruntled with the team...but there is a reason they are in NBA. They are good players.

    Yeah, I noticed it too. So indecisive in p&r situations and a weak helper. I bet GSW's opponents' coaches plan 70% of their offense around exploiting D.Lee's weak defense.

    When the Rockets played the Warriors recently. I visited their forums to see what they were saying and they we always complaining about David Lee's horrible defense. So its no secret that he is known as avid Lee with no D.

    A stat I found funny (from today's San Antonio express news):

    Stat of the Year, courtesy of the Phoenix PR staff: Tim Duncan entered the game with more career minutes (42,064) than the Suns’ entire active roster (42,027).

    I haven't seen any of their games yet, but I'm semi-amazed they are doing this good with the roster they have. They beat us on our home floor, I never watched this game but something tells me our players lacked motivation here.

    There is no way the Suns make the playoffs with the current roster.

    That's a streach considering where they are after almost a third of the season. You can say that it's not likely, but it's ceartenly not impossible. Their roster is much better than anyone predicted and if they can keep it up they'll be in the fight for a playoff spot. At this point nobody is considering them a fluke anymore.

    They are winning because of PJ Tucker's stellar D. He's the same guy that gave Harden one of his worst shooting nights ever. Suns remind me of our 42-40 team before Harden. Basically spread the ball, run and gun, and shoot the long bombs. They lack a legitimate scorer down the stretch which will be their demise. Screw the ex Jazz coach and living in Phoenix I can tell you guys that many Suns fans are big time Rocket haters so why feel sorry for them? They suck.

    Outside of the whole "Kiss of Death" thing, and perhaps taking Barkley from them, what possible reason would they have to hate the Rockets? I mean, I understand having a "hatred" towards all other Western Conference teams, but to single out Houston? That makes no sense. That's like Rockets fans having an irrational hatred towards the New Orleans Pelicans or something.
