    That's some new funny excuses.

    Is Yao a baby or what? Should not he be facing the pressure from the minute one?

    you'd rather saw off your right leg than to see the Rockets win.

    DD, counting this loss we are currently 8th place in the conference. Isn't it time you start making a prediction that we will miss playoff this season? ;) You might jynx the false prediction again and we'll win 22 in a row!

    Defense and defensive potential:

    Brooks - EWOK
    Head - EWOK
    Landry - EWOK
    Scola - EWOK
    Hayes - EWOK

    Yao - slow
    Wafer - innocent

    McGrady - Lazy


    We need a PF-C. Even Voshkul f**ed us yesterday.

    Come on we have 2 of our best defenders in street clothes and we still almost won. You may have a point if Ron and shane suit up to play but without Ron and shane playing I can see why they shoot 60%.

    whats with idiots saying 'oh no rockets lost blah blah blah'? u expected a win in the first place? the team consisted of second and third unit players played hard tonight and came out short, be happy it was close.

    rox played better than their last few games but still yao didnt step up. ya he had a lotta boards but 0 pts in the 2nd half. coulnt get 1pt vs atl's defense in the 2nd half. but i'll give him a pass since he played yesterday i guess...

    hopefully wafer isnt out for long. still a lotta work to do for the rox but good ting their offense is back.

    Great game! We went toe to toe with a Hawks club that was just on fire on their own home court and it came down to one 3 point shot at the end.

    Kudos to Scola, Landry, Rafer, Wafer and Rafer(for those 2 steals near the end). I cant wait to see Deke back to add some more fire to the team.

    look what happens when our 2 best defenders don't play. the other team just doesn't miss.

    I think the team misses Battier and Artest more.

    It is not like the team is in 8th to stay at 8th they are closer to 4 and in the end they will be a top 4 team in the West. As for the game that Wafer shot to tie the game should have been and 1 but Josh wasn't not given the foul. As for Yao he was being double team all through the game and with the Hawks defenders allowed to knock the cr@# out of Yao without being call for the foul.

    no Shane and Ron thats why the defense is so bad. i think the team should shut down T-Mac and start learning how to play without him, i seriously doubt at this point we are contenders firstly due to injuries and secondly due to our white dwarf (astronomical term for dying star). we might as well try to play around Yao and Ron and see how far we can go. but if some point during the season T-Mac feels he's re-juvenated and "healed", do we welcome him back to the team? or could there be trade scenarios currently in the making. if i was T-Mac, i would be working my butt off to win back the fans. he have really short-changed all of us with his recent play. still, lets have faith in the team

    Adelman did not choke, he was screaming "Foul to give" you could hear it on the TV.....

    The team choked, I mean not guarding Bibby, come on...

    Hopefully RA will get it into his head now what we all have known. The reserves of this team can compete...they don't need T-Mac. Throw in Ron and Shane and the D steps up...hell the Hawks had only lost 2 games at home and came very close without our best 2 defenders.

    The ball would have gone to Yao, but Rafer had an opening and took it. I like how you take that and just make it 'prove' your view on things..
