Now, finally I can post here. From last night till now, I do not want to read and think any basketball. I think our lost is mainly because AB and coach. They don't prepare enough for the front Yao. AB forgot his shots, lost confidence. It is good for AB and good for Rox long term . Go Rox, We belive.
Well, one could say at least it was one game..... But the fact is....it isn't. We've seen this late collapse numerous times this season, in some of them we survived the late attack. Brooks seems reluctant to do anything with the ball, and Artest seems too demanding on wanting the ball and ISOing and taking contested jump shots. Dude is no (healthy) TMAC. Everything just looks so out of wack late in the road games. Yao is being fronted and is as helpless as a kitten. He can't rebound, is a liability on the defensive end because of his lack of speed....a slug is faster. Too many passive players on the floor, and then one giant ego (Ron) who can't stop iso-ing.
yeah but unlike past games, there's legit "excuses" here. Brooks was blanketed by Rose, that's why Brooks couldnt do his thing. The bulls were overly aggressive and were getting some no calls, also, Yao was going against Miller, Noah and tyrus. Not many teams have a trio of versatile big men like that to throw at Yao. Others teams think of their back up bigs as "fouls" to waste on Yao, but chicago's big men are good enough to play Yao and not just foul him. The rockets had and have had their issues, but i think the Bulls deserve a lot of the credit here.
Too much Artest in the 4th and careless shots caused the Rockets this game. Lowry should have played in the 4th to guard Rose.
All I'm going to say about last night's game is this: The Rockets simply didn't show up as a team to the 4th quarter. They weren't there in the 4th, they were all in the locker room, minus Artest, hitting the showers and getting ready to fly up to the Timberwolves tonight. They seem to be turning this into a trend for the 4th quarter. I'd like to see that stop. Same thing happened with the Cavs but we were able to stop that nonsense. But only barely.

And I thought Artest was going to get into a fist fight with the refs! I'd back him up too - that was clearly a foul. 3 point foul. He should have had shots.
Holy Japanese mushrooms! I just came back from Austin to find out we lost a game we were leading in, again!
And the commentator said it is the largest collapse in NBA history. Guess Rox just got another record.
Did anyone see how Artest wanted a biscuit and pat on the head after sinking his six threes. Play four quaters!!! then celebrate! I thought with T-Mac gone there would be a lot less egos in this team but Artest looks like he's taking up the slack. Houston needs more hard workers not clowns.
