    Disappointing loss, but I temper it with the fact that Brooks was out and Yao was struggling with a stomach flu. Plus, conditioning becomes a factor on a second of a back-to-back with McGrady and Artest and possibly Battier.

    Still disappointed though.

    1. Matchup issues
    2. I thought he moved well out there. Had a block.
    3. Agreed.
    4. Agreed.
    5. Maybe. But I don't believe that Artest is a team player. His one on one days in Sacramento taught him to play the way he does. He needs to realize when he's having a bad night and feed the ball to somebody who's shooting better than 10%
    6. You serious? Not only has McGrady been scoring somewhat efficiently, he's been making plays for other guys. McGrady isn't the problem. Stop being ignorant.

    Tmac played FINE tonight.....for the most part...

    But our perimeter defense on their PG was AWFUL.....Rafer Alston let Mayo get any shot he wanted.....

    Even though AB is no great shakes on D, his speed would have been much better suited to match up with Mayo.

    yeah 6th seed in the west, without all the injuries we have. and 10 games over .500. They aren't contenders right now dummy, I said give them time and I bet nobody wants to match up with them in playoffs. We put a win streak together with all these home games, and all yall will be right back on the bandwagon once again.

    it was a good play, I will admit that. But he rarely does it in the fourth. I just dont like him settling for threes because he is a better player than that. He was great in the first three.

    DD, show them those unbias thoughts. tracy could have played better in the 4th, but he played fine. not superb.

    but the game wasn't lost there. it was lost in the first 3 quarters when our D was soft like cheese.

    I'm staying on this, scola and landry are too much of the same player. They have success or failures vs the same guys. Adelman not using deke and moreys poor decision not to get a 4/5 type who can protect the rim or matchup with a guy that's killing scolandry. Battier played well offensively finally looking to shoot and again the defense was terrible. U have to put the fire out and stop allowing teams to shoot 45%.

    T-mac should take 20+ shots so he can average 20+. It will help his trade value next season

    I think so. It waste yao's energy and also T-mac's shooting is not good enough now. If he can't get the goal, rebound is easily lost.

    Honestly the first 3 T-mac took was a good shot, it just rimmed out and he was wide open. That 3 would of been huge too bad it rimmed out.

    His other Jacked up 3's basically came when the game was over. He was just trying to make a miracle at that point.

    The 3rd quarter was downright pathetic. Does Rick even know how to MOTIVATE a team? The Rockets came out flat and Memphis killed them. It's the coach's fault for not getting the team ready to play. The Rockets came out lackadaisical, the team takes the personality of the coach.

    Hornets lost by 14 pts tonight to the bulls. I wonder if their fans wanna dismantle this team like our fans do.
