I like Brooks but his turnovers in the 4th qt. definitely does not make him the bright spot of the game.
We have 3 more home games, we can defend home court and win in 6. Blazers suck on the road, they feed off the great crowd for big plays.
Seriously, are Artest and Battier's defense overrated?? I don't if I'm just blind or what, but neither have of them have been able to stop Kobe and as seen tonight, Roy. What gives?
And I found the Rox has another serious problem that is when we are down in the points with several mins left seemed we were down with only several seconds left. Shoot every shot for 3 even you were only 1 for 8...
it was a good game.. we need to rep at TC Friday and Sunday for sure!!! if yao had a slighly below average game we win this thing tonight.. definitely have to find an answer to getting yao the ball..
i feel so sad that we didn't win this game for great Deke! i feel angry that yao was effectively shut down the whole game! and i feel speechless that all about our starting PG is running recklessly on the court and jacking up meaningless 3s...
Ref sucks.I don't know why Yao could not get the calls he deserves.We played solid defense but all those unbelievable shots were just going in.Roy just had a sensational night and that's it. Okay,now it's moving back to htown and we have homecourt advantage,just give 'em the chill and let em know who's stronger and better,Youngsters Need Lessons. BTW,I hate Greg Oden,he ain't 'nuff!
The fronting isn't as big a problem as it seems. Our offense wasn't the reason we lost this game. Our wing guys were getting to the rim or the midrange spot with absolute ease the whole game due to the fronting.
Are you kidding me. Shane and Ron on the team and Roy still gets 42. You gotta play any defense... I told you guys, Yao was fronted and he was completly taken out of the game. When you froin Yao he is done. I don't care what adjustments does Rick do.
Lmao, the concern is the adjustment wasn't good enough to win the game. Our roleplayers don't capitalize enough on the fronting defense. Face it, as long as the Blazers keep fronting Yao the Rockets will have a hard time winning the game.
Quick analysis: 1) We allow Roy and Aldridge to score almost 70 points 2) According to point one, where is our defence? 3) Yao SUX, but we don't have alternatives so we have to play the most gigantic fraud after Georghe Muresan.
Umm keyword Kobe and Brandon Roy. They are great players who make great shots. They stopped Roy enough in the 1st game to blow the Blazers out.
idk why u guys are blaming the refs? nobody can call a game perfectly. we got 32 fts ON THE ROAD. only 4 less than portland. and with the way we were missing fts, i doubt it would help if we took more. again, i think portland will attempt to take yao out of the game from now on. our role players have to continue to play OUT OF THEIR MINDS. i've never seen brooks played this well for 2 straight games. so unless adelman can gameplan a way to utilize yao, our role players will win/lose this series for us
