This is why I think the bench should start the 3rd quarter and the starters can finish the 4th. Too many times the bench has gotten the team out of the whole the starters made. I really like RA but at times I wounder what he's thinking with some of the moves he makes or should I say doesn't make.
The truly encouraging thing is that the Rockets finally got some much needed practice time so that the vaunted Adelman offense could run so smoothly. Another 4th qtr performance demonstrating Adelman's keen insight into the game. Seriously, does anyone else get the impression that the more the Rockets practice - the worse they look?
I haven't heard a mention of the refereeing (or lack thereof) as a factor in the loss....a few more calls our way or less the 'cats way, might have refueled the Rocket's engines, as it were. Man, I am sick of multiple poor calls in one game! I have to admit I'd be far less upset if the off-calls went our way a bit more often. I do agree with you though, I'll be happy to see Joey suited up and see if he gets any playtime...I'd like to see what the time in the DL has done for him. Nice player, good potential.
So what happened to all those Stephen Jackson haters here on Clutchfans? He's better than Ariza and Battier combined. Should've traded Battier straight up for him when Golden State was dealing him.
