He fumbled the balls out his hands how many times? He wastes how much time making his move? I hate watching this guy play, his moves were good back in 1954 with the slow fundamentals pace. I hate Yao Ming...
scola makes Jason Smith look like Jordan out there.. AB has been okey but he jacked up a wild 3's at the third quarter which got the NO right back into the game and outscored us that quarter.. Yao could't grab a rebound to save our ass. we have no answers for CP, the guy has been torching AB in the last few possessions. And in crucial moments when it really matters, we have no freaking closer to close the game.. this rockets team as currently structured is overrated..No defense whatsoever... the only upside is Jordan Hill.. the guy needs more playing time...
I wouldnt be surprised if we were playing .500 or below ball until the all-star break. Chemistry on a basketball team doesnt happen over night. New players (Martin, Bud, Lee, Miller) still need to develop chemistry with the old players (Yao, Shane, Brooks, Scola). Gonna take time. We'll be ok.
One rebound he didn't caught and is the reason we losing? How about not making 3? How about letting a scrub kill us every game. How about not stooping the other team 3 point. How about loosing every 3 quatrers. How about key T.O. that lead to easy basket. Yao rebounding is not a problem at all.
Benching Battier is the more obvious solution since he is the worst by far. Bring him in spot duty like Hayes onc Budinger gets tired or in foul trouble. Bring in Jeffries for christ sake. What is so hard for the hard wired Clutchfans to change even starting rotations much less get them to go along with trades? Many of you say no to every trade and now your 0-4.
I understand all the talk about needing a closer, but the other teams are playing good defense and we still put up a decent amount of points in the second half. The real problem is our second half defense. We gave up 35pts vs the Lakers in the 4th, 37pts in the 3rd vs Golden State, 35pts in 4th vs Denver and 34pts vs the Hornets in the fourth quarter. We have the worst defense in the league in terms of points, we have many guys who can score we are just not playing defense well collectively. Even if we had Carl Landry with the terrible defense we are playing we would still be 0-4. I can't really put a finger on one single player that should take all the blame because as a team we were bad on transition defense because Chris Paul ran the ball down the floor and found somebody open. Morey put a good tema together Adelman has to figure out why we are conceding so many points particularly in the second half.
New starting line up should be: Lowry Martin Budinger Hayes Yao It mixed with 3 good offense player, a better PG and a defense player.
The whole blame game on individuals is stupid. Team lost due to everybody contributing to the suck jar. You'd also have to blame some guy who gave up open shot after open shot. Hint-One of the best PF's in the league. Who is Luis Scola? Brooks, Bud and Lee...3-14 from three point land.
People refuse to believe the team in general sucks. Granted Yao only playing 20 minutes sucked for us, he was on fire in the 1st half....its frustrating his minutes are reduced. But even if he played 30+ minutes, we still suck because I never believed a back court of AB/KM would work.
\ Take off your Yao - love glasses. What game were you watching. Great should never be on the same line with how Yao played tonight. Guess you will come back here, and says they didn't give Yao the ball in the fourth quarter. Guess what when they did, it was a turn over waiting to happen. This has been very frustrating it has happened for 9 damn years.
we LOST today with battier sitting after the game was close, why can't you comprehend that. JJ doesnt even play SF and incase you didnt notice they had a 6'3 shooting guard playing SF late.
We are too unathletic at the bigs and too soft at the guards. We need a big athletic guy to play PF when Yao is playing to make up for his lack of mobility or to play center when Scola plays. We need tough minded Point Guard to play with Martin and a strong defensive presence to play with Brooks. Solution: Lowry, Martin, Chase, Hill, Yao and 2nd Unit Brooks, Lee, Shane, Scola, Dampier or Miller?... Nevermind we're screwed.
We lost because he couldt score while he was in the game on those open three to make the lead even larger. We lost because he sucks and because alot of guys suck in the rotation so you have to wid yourself of the suckiest guy in the starting rotation and suckiest guy on the team by the way too.
