wtf man wheres chuck when we need him :rolleye: or zbo is better than amare -_- Omg Brad we need you back . I thought we always own the grizz .... or have they gotten better ?_?
Major fail by Adelman. I mean it's not like we were down big and the bench brought us back in the game. I've never seen crap like this before.
Haha I saw Jonathan Feigen mention this. Said something to the effect of "Rockets really miss Brad Miller's defense and rebounding." Edit: Here it is:
^^WRONG!!!!!!! Lets go back a bit. We had an awesome run with our starters in the 3rd quarter. We built up a lead. We were up 85-80 with 3 mins left to go in the 3rd. 3:30 left in the 3rd - 85-80 - Rockets lead. In comes Brooks, Bud and Hill. At that point we stil have a lead. Martin got taken out at end of the 3rd q and didnt return for start of 4th. 5:30 left in the 4th -102-101, Rockets lead. With Brooks and Hill in the game (turning it over like crazy). Martin, Hayes and Lowry still sitting. In these 10 mins (from the time of end of 4 minutes left in 3rd till 6 minutes into the 4th) the Momentum starts swinging to the Grizz. 5:30 left in the 4th -102-101. Ok now we are up by only 1. The Rox were stuck on 102 for 5 plays in a row. Brooks turned it over twice in that period - create plays my @$$. Hill has 5 fouls was getting scored all over in this period as well. 4:00 left in the 4th - 103-101 - Rockets lead. Martin and Scola come back into the game , with Brooks and Hill still in there. Hayes with 5 fouls still on the bench. 3:30 left in the 4th, - 106-102 - Rockets build a lead with Martin and Scola. Lowry comes into back the game, Hill is stil in there and getting scored all over 1:19 left in the 4th - 109-108 - Memphis lead. Finally in comes Hill but by now Hill and LAdeman has already lost us the game. By the time Martin came back our lead was chopped. By the time all 5 of our starters were on the floor we didnt have a lead anymore. Why did take Aldeman so long to take out all the crap like Hill and Brooks? Why did he leave Hill in at such a crucial time when Hayes and Hil both had 5 fouls? Why did he allow the lead to get chopped so close? Why did it take up to 1:19 left to have all 5 of our startes in there? When it was already too late. Brooks and Hill getting so much time when they sucked was ridiculous. And in such a crucial time of the game too, totally unacceptable. Martin getting hardly any time at all when he was playing so good in also ridiculous. How Lowry and Martin got less than 4 mins in the 4rth is beyong comprehending. BS all together. And the only ones who would have commented negatively about JJ being in the game is the blind Hill lovers. Everyone has has been screaming for JJ to play since he showed what he can do when Hayes when down. Everyone criticises Aldemans rotation when they are clearly wrong. Fans would not criticise moves/changes that leads to wins. Like playing some one who is better over some one who cant play.
Adelman was going with the COLD players in the 2nd half. As soon as Brooks started making plays and shots, he takes him out! and puts in the cooled off Martin and Lowry.
Funny how you diss Hill and AB yet they were the ones that had the 4 point lead with 3 mins to go when Brooks was taken out, and soon Hill was too, but you named all the other players on the floor but them. The lenghts that people go to to make a point....lol.....like others are too stupid to see right through it. Ugh ! DD
Our bench sucked tonight. Jordan Hill's offense really suck. And his defense sucked too tonight. I would rather have Jared Jeffries playing.
I'm so sick of these 4th quarter lead evaporating and turning into losses. The Rockets have one scorer and that's it period and yes it's Martin. He is a scorer the rest of the guys have their days but are not consistent. Damn I wish the Rockets were a good team consistently like your Spurs, Lakers, Celts and Magic............
This was a frustrating loss. It was easy to tell that the Griz really wanted this game. Their tall and mobile players outperformed the Rockets, especially late in the game. Adelman's questionable rotations moves and a lack of a go-to guy just exacerbated this problem. Every time I log into ClutchFans, I find myself hoping to read news of a trade going down. Like most on this board, I am anxiously awaiting a shakeup to this roster.
I agree Hill is dumb as dirt. Countless times in the lane he could've thrown up his hands and grabbed a rebound and he just stands there. Carl Landry owns his ass.
Its hillarious how they werent on the flour when we held 7-9 point leads. Its funny how that lead got cut down when they were on the floor. Its not funny really, Actually its sad and frustrating.
So is knee jerking...don't lift em too high, you might get a bloody nose..... The NBA is a game of runs, but you have to be able to score late in close games, and to have your ONLY player that can do that on the bench is inexcusable. Brooks was not good this game, but he is still the only option late. Both Brooks and Lowry sucked tonight...what were they like 4 for 18 combined? The Rox are not going to win many games with both of them sucking balls...especially since they both are not very good on defense. DD
At this point I'd say the Rockets have 25 wins max left in them this season if they're lucky. Seems like they win 4 in a row, and then lose 5 in a row over and over again.
Rab dar gab pretty much somes it up for those of you who know what I'm talking about. Bout to eat a maple chicken club samich and it's going to be absolutely delicious. I personally think we need Monta Ellis if not maybe trade for Frodo at the point.
38 games left...yeah come to think of it I'm pretty sure they're gonna lose more than 13 games the rest of the season. So 35 wins seems more accurate
