    We all know that Alston and T-Mac were horrible, but how come, Shane is not getting mentioned. He was horrible. He missed lot of open shots!

    Just what I wanted for Christmas.. A LOSS

    Something in my gut tells me that if this keeps up one of our "big three" (most likely Tmac) will be traded.

    We want to be called as a contenders. Well first of all we need HEALTH from Tracy, Ron and Shane and we need to bring the ENERGY.

    Right now we aren't even a good team. Average? Maybe.

    That sums it up perfectly. TMac was horrible on offense, and worse, he didn't box out on defensive rebounds and allowed a couple of easy putbacks. And Aldelman shouldn't play freaking Head, give Wafer 25 minutes! And Give Brooks at least 25 min.

    It was an easy game. You only have to score 89 points to win. But Rockets failed to do so. :mad:

    so, is tmac going to get well or is his career over?

    Battier and Artest--are they going to be hurt all season too?

    Do the Rox have an injury curse?

    T-mac is too patient on offense.

    No one will get traded. We won't trade Yao. There's no point to trade Ron. And no one in their right mind would give us anything of value for Tmac.

    When Yao was out of the floor, we again didnt have any interior defense and no rebounding.
    In the clutch time, we choked BIG TIME, second time in a row.

    TMac needs a month off to rest and get 100%. I hope that will enough to get him back to being TMac. Don't know if Deke will be in by the end of the week but if he is not who else is out there, Joe Smith?

    Are you kidding? Yao took 5 shots only in the 2nd half. 7 if you count offensive foul and FTs. Yao made his first 3, then for some reason Rockets started to use Yao as a screen setter again.

    I just don't understand this team. Some games you see so much fire and flashes of brilliance. Other times Rafer Alston is on the floor and it's like banging your head into a brick wall and hoping for something other than pain.
