I agree...we have been missing so many free-throws that causes our game...and i think adleman shouldve put bobby in during crunchtime (i have a feeling bobby could do something good) and like i said before, chemistry has left our team ever since the 22 game winning streak; it looksl ike we have no idea what the heck we are doing...
It always begins like this: 1:we lose some stupid games. 2: Mcgrady vanishes in money time. 3: Instead of being the first in the west we get rank 5-6-7. 4: Mcgrady isnt going to pass the first round this year either and is going to whine again. Mcgrady is a loser. gg.
EVERYBODY NEED A REALITY CHECK, THE ROCKETS ARE OVERRATED AND HAVE OVERACHIEVED DURING THE STREAK!!! THE TRUTH IS FINALLY COMING OUT!!
I'm sorry but they could have called a timeout with six seconds left and set up a play from half court to get a shot off, what the hell was Adleman thinking? You were not going to get a quality shot having to take the ball full court in six seconds.
did anyone else notice how much more tmac was running on offense last night? to me that's a good sign... don't panic yet my friends.. depending on who we play, i think we can get out of the first round...
A loss is a loss, especially against the Queens... I would like to make the playoffs, then let's see what happens...We just have to win...
1. Yes we do sadly 2. Why are we even needing a clutch shot by Mcgrady who scored 30 points in the game against a team like the Kings....Other players should have stepped up so this situation never should have happened. 3. Is this a true and false question....True only becuase we don't have yao and now everything is averaging out ...calm down 4. maybe ...maybe not but unlike you...I believe I blame chuck hayes for this loss. He is a total liability on both ends of the floor now picking up foul after foul after foul
McGrady shooting 31 times is inexcusable...that is bad standing around offense.... The team needs to get back to doing what it does best, moving without the ball....maybe Tmac needs to sit a game and rest his shoulder so he and the team can stop misremembering what got them here. DD
We won with Chuck getting zero minutes and now he's playing ample minutes fouling and sending people to the free throw line. Rick please give Mike Chucks minutes and watch the victories begin again. Chuck is too much of a liability on offense. I don't care about his D, especially when we're not scoring or need more scoring options
Also, I kinda understand Rafer plowing into the middle in attempt to draw foul, however, he drop the ball right into their hands for a tie up. Also, waving off Tmac down the stretch to make that drive was a poor decision.
Hah, agree. http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/boxscore;_ylt=ArODlgE1M6led.57HOQpjjSLvLYF?gid=2008040123 OMFG, Hayes played 24 minutes (Stupid move by Adelman, I know he was guarding Artest but Battier could have done that and Tracy could have guarded Martin) and went 1-6 (OMG). Of course all of his shoots were easy layups, hook shots around the rim. I remember him blowing 2 easy layups. That's why I like Landry. He doesn't lay it up, he just throws it down hard
we outrebounded them by 21 and lost the game by 1. free-throws weren't that bad, at 80%. I kept hearing GP calling blown layup after blown layup.... when T-Mac was 11-19, it was on... when he finished 1 for his next 12, we have problems
I don't have problem with Mcgrady taking 30 shots. I am more disappointed by that he shyed away from shooting after he went like 1-10 in the 4th Qtr. How many did he take in the last 4 mins until the final shot? Without Yao, he is by far the best player and he should dominate the ball until the very end. The fact that he let the like of Rafer take over the game during crunch time is pathetic. Kobe Bryant would never let his lesser teammates do that (I bring up Bryant because people here like to compare Mcgrady with him).
Yeah, I definitely thought that hurt a lot. At the end of the third, I looked at the box score & saw that T-Mac was 12-24, shooting 50%. But then I look again after the game is over and see 12-31, missing all of this seven shots in the fourth. I understand T-Mac has to put a lot of weight on himself to carry the offensive slack, but not being able to hit even one shot in the final quarter of the game is inexcusable. He's going to get his FT opportunities, but those are never automatic so unless he gets hot at the right time, this offense is non-existent. Also, it doesn't help that we saw so much of Chuck Hayes. I remember the game when Landry came back and scored around 18 points, and we saw no Chuck Hayes all night and the Rox won. Now I'm not saying I don't want Chuck to get any minutes, but there's no way he should be playing half of the game, while Landry is only getting 1/3 of the playing time. Also, B-Jax should've seen more PT as well. He did decent in the first half, but was never given the right opportunity to do anything in the second half. Like someone previously stated, I think Bobby could've helped in the last few minutes of the game.
I do have a trouble with him taking 30 shots if he is going to shoot under 40% like he did, he should realise that when he is not on he has to go to the hole or bring the ball to someone near the rim, that´s why he failed so awfully.
