he is the reason rockets lose in games? O man you are one ignorant SOB aren't you? Take t-mac out and see will happen to the rockets. You're the reason karma won't be with us for long
The refs were bad...but they were bad both ways. They screwed us with a lot of calls, but they also missed T-Mac's double-dribble, a traveling by T-Mac on Rafer's 3, and Landry looked like he goaltended on his putback. That being said, we were right there at the end but just came up short.
I couldn't agree more. There isn't a single player on this team who doesn't have a ton of heart. Landry: One leg Battier: One leg Alston: One leg McGrady: One leg and one shoulder I mean, are you kidding me? Even with that, the Jazzholes can BARELY beat us. Screw anyone who says these guys aren't tough! Ain't nothin' soft about none of 'em!
I'm proud of the Rockets tonight. They had some tough breaks and some bad calls, and they made an amazing game of it all the way to the end. Looking forward to game four. Biggest one is that Battier didn't foul Korver there at the end. Scola got some horrible calls, again. And I think Scola is the heart of the team - its like the refs cut our heart out, and we still fought and clawed and stayed in there. And TMac played an exceptional game. I say we win in 7.
yup... it's yao's fault... even though if we had yao tonight we would be 2-2... i guess we should trade for howard eh? im sure he can hit clutch freethrows at the end wayy better than yao can
We can still win this series if we can find somebody that can guard Deron Williams. Maybe, we have to try Battier on him. Even with the missed FTs and the rebounding issues and T-Mac seeming to disappear in the 4th quarter, we can win this series if... we can find a way to stop Deron Williams, especially in the 4th quarter. Rafer got completely OWNED by him when the game was close. Don't worry too much about the fact that we barely lost because it was total luck. We chucked up two prayers to make it look close.
And so was T-mac ! He is a superstar that gets paid more money than he deserves ! I look at it this way if I was T-mac I would tell the fron office " Well since my production has gone down I'll take a pay cut to bring in another superstar so we can win a Championship " Now thats what T-Mac needs to do !
i'm very frustrated right now. we just can't never seem to get the breaks. that foul call on korver was the refs "anticipating" a foul type of call and that's inexcusable considering the magnitude of this game. that was jumpball all the way. tmac had to shoot more. 1-1, 2-4 fts for 4 pts is just not good. tmac should still be on this team next yr but he should no longer be the #1 scoring option. his J is just too inconsistent and his fts are atrocious. yao will assume that role by default. but i feel for us to compete, we should have more of a balanced scoring offense. yao and tmac should just avg around 20 pts max. i think this team will eventually do BIG THINGS though. we have so much heart that it's overwhelming. we have to get some breaks sooner or later. I BELIEVE.
I'm too pissed to discuss this loss. So one thing.... **** the refs. Seriously. and grab a freakin reb.
Bj has been a game ON a game Off so he should be good for next game, but he will suck back in Utah in game 6
We just need a bench. The only reliable player off the bench is Carl Landry. We need a reliable perimeter player off the bench, and guys that can finish around the rim!!!!!
I wish it was only the free throws, but this team went on so many scoring droughts during this game when we couldn't score 1 point for 4 and 5 minutes at a time. Rockets need to keep the few young players they have like Landry and rebuild blow the whole damn flawed team to hell.
I just am incredible at the officiating in a playoff game. Battier had Korver trapped and Korver steps out of bounds before any foul. Okur pushes T-Mac out of the way on that final rebound. No foul! Harpring should have fouled out early in the 4th - "play on!" Bottom line though - failed free throws did us in once again.
2-4 from the field, 3-4 from the line? Maybe they should have gotten the ball in to the post players a few more times instead of jacking up the ball from outside.
