Im not gonna throw blame on any Rocket tonight. They played their heart out. They could have laid down and died and instead almost took yet another game in the hardest place to win on the road. God... I can still see Scola taking the rebound away from Boozer and Korver stepping out of bounds while Battier had him tied up for a jumpball... This game was a perfect example of refs assuming something happened even though they didnt see it.
refs did not lose us this game, a number of things did. -The obvious lack of rebounding including Okur's critical one -Tmac's lack of heart in the 4th yet again -Rafer's HORRIBLE decision making as Deron was Owning him -not having Deke or Chuck when we needed their D -Bobby Jackson -Ft's, namely a lot missed by TMac who just isnt focused out their and hasnt been all season
I want to be proud of them but how can you when they missed so many FREE throws ? Its all about concentration and if they made their FREE throws it would have been a victory !
They played hard but it's not enough. Your best player has to have the will to close out a game. They were down 16 so I actually expected a blowout but them made it close. If not for missing FTs, they could have won this thing. But could ofs are not much use these days. Down 3-1 and fighting hard, lets hope they can win at least one game at home for the fans. I fully expect them to fight hard but still lose game 6. That's how they played and that's how it will end. But nothing to be upset about, I thought they would be swept in 4. So every game after 4 is a bonus
I don't blame T-mac for the loss but The team as a whole needs to do 3 things 1. CUT ALL HEAT CHECKS IMMEDIATELY 2. Hit your free throws 3. Rebound/Box Out The Defense was superb! Rocket River and . .. the truth is the truth . . T-mac slapped the ball out of Landry's hand .. . and Okur was over the back . . .and RA should have subbed in some Rebounders!
T-mac has been doing great in playoffs. Why don't we point out Scola, Jackson, Brooks, Head and tons of other players who are currently performing worse than him. Why don't we point out the refs who arguebably screwed the game over no question. If you guys watched the game, you would've saw ONE ref who was trying to make the more fair on the rockets offense, but TWO refs, one with a slickback hair and another brown dude screwing the rockets.
Try we need a PG or a perimeter player that can get to the basket late in game. Their bench isn't all that great. They have a phenomenal PG that can get it done when it counts. He completely OWNED Rafer when the game got close. We don't have a single player that can respond like that.
You're a d******d with a capital D. T-Mac and Rafer played their hearts out with not much help, except from Landry.
yet and still . . .everyone is saying out side of TMAC the Rockets ARE VASTLY INFERIOR TALENT WISE TO THE JAZZ I simply do not beleive that! Rocket River
It was a very close game yea, but remember Utah missed a **** load of wide open shots, and no 3's, Rox were lucky on that part.
