Shane Battier: 1-9 from the floor, including 0-6 3P. For all of the pro-Shane number crunchers that justify his PT with +/-, PER, etc... Mr. Intangibles was a whopping -20 tonight.
Battier is the leader of this team, and the team sucks. Get him out of there. He can say all the right things, but when it comes down to the nitty gritty, he can't produce. If Morey is keeping him just so he can make inbound passes to Yao, then this is a team built around failure upon failure.
Rick Adelman's thoughts these days when seeing a hobbled franchise center and a roster full of role players: "I didn't sign up for this..."
As I previously stated, when Martin/Miller/Scola don't even attempt to play defense, we're going to lose every single time.
We stuck with the bench for far too long. Nobody in that unit wanted to shoot. Why Scola and Martin were on the bench for so long is beyond me.
we just lost to a better team..why u guys so mad?? lol...we are what we are as the record suggests...meaning a crappy team.. we will be different when Yao and AB back...But right now, we are stuck at the bottom of the standings and there is no signs of recovery.
Pretty funny and ironic, because he took this job at the time thinking we were a team that he didn't need to "rebuild." Guy is probably tanking on purpose so he can go recharge his batteries for about a decade.
we need brooks back...i think its really pointless to try to win with this roster...lets just home we get lucky and get our ping pong balls to go our way...
This team's problem is not on Yao; Martin is the prolem, if this team has Martin, this team has no defense and cann't win
It's liberating to know I don't have to waste any more time watching this team. Wake me up at the trade deadline, or for the draft. Now I can get back to black ops and reach. Houston sports is at an all time pathetic state.
i watched the first half of this game, felt pretty dang happy with what i saw with the team then went and ate w/ the family. afterwards i came online to check how much i thought we would win by only to see that we lost by 10...
That was just awful. Scola on the bench for most of the fourth; that's an interesting strategy! At time this team, and I use the work loosely, looks totally inept, like they have never practiced, like they are amateurs. Battier's intangibles are so intangible they are invisible.
