Ya if only he could find some way to get a savy veteren with incredible defense, great intangibles and able to light it up from three point land. Where could we ever find a player like that???
You are r****ded plain and simple. You can't continue to blame losses on single players. You win as a team and lose as a team. Yes the Rockets could of put the game away earlier but that last play had MANY flaws to put all the blame on Tmac. It was a 1 in 100 shot and he just cashed in
Rockets need to rebound better. Actually they need to crash the boards. As far as the last play goes, T-Mac, instead of pointing to Artest to take his (McGrady's) man, should've stayed with Roy even though it was a lucky shot.
Great, so he helped get us to overtime, why did he let Brandon Roy run out there all alone and shoot that? I mean all he has to do is trail the guy and get a hand up and the team wins....it was sheer laziness. DD
If you watch the replay of Yao's OT shot the clock stops at .8 seconds in mid air. Did anyone tivo this?! There shouldn't have been .8 seconds left on the clock for Brandon Roy's last shot.
The problem is not whether roy finished within 0.8 second. Instead, it is how could there be 0.8 second left? 1.9 second left, Yao take the ball, make a turnaround, draw the foul, and shoot the ball, the ball fly in the sky, get in. This process will at least take 1.5 second. So there should only be 0.4 second at most which is not enough for a good turnaround drible shot. Anyway, that was a great shot and we really played bad exept T-MAC. We were not moving. And we lack rebound. We could definately use some Mutomb.
Look, no offense to Yao or anything, but being a 7'6' guy, he should've gotten more rebounds than 5. I mean, c'mon, even Tmac got more with 6. We had 5 offense boards, they had 16.
Oh, and I know Chuck Hayes plays great post defense but he doesn't rebound all that well against taller athletic players and he has no offense. Scola should have been playing more. DD
Man, this is a tough loss But the most disappointing thing is that this team should be good enough to beat them without going into overtime
There were a bunch of things wrong with the time-keeping in this game. The Rockets organization should seriously consider sending some tape into the NBA for review.
Should T-Mac be on Roy to begin with??!! Everyone knows he's a step slow on defense right now. I mean Roy os super quick even on a tough defender. WHY!?
Game was lost due to poor rebounding...sounds familiar doesn't it. Hurts to lose to such a lucky shot though.
Yao was fouled at .8 and the shot went in... What im not so sure about is roying only needing .8 secs to get off that shot.
