Ron and TMac need to go back and get healthy. Both guys are hurting the team by playing. You can see that both are limping around trying to play. I think the Rockets should seriously consider hate to say it but trading both away and get something in return because I don't think both will ever get healthy this season.
there was a lack of energy from the start of the game, and the offense was quite stagnant. tmac doesn't get to the basket much anymore and without yao there was no one drawing double teams or getting shots in the paint. horrible showing. the defense was horrible again. the lack of energy starting the game really hurt, this team needs to establish its energy level early as it did with tmac/artest out and wafer going to the bucket time and time again. i can't watch another 30+ games with this inconsistent team that plays terrible defense.
McGrady and Ron CANNOT coexist on the floor at the same time (with a few exception depending on matchups). Ron should only come off the bench.
BINGO....thats what i said....it changed momentum....rockets were in deep **** after that....oh well tough loss.
If we're going to be playing guys into shape, might as well stick Deke in there in the 4th to stop the layups.
This is a low bball iq team. game tied, Artest took the ball upcourt and jacked up a 3. WTF!!!??? keep shooting 3 while bricking!? what about execution and get some high % shot?
Crap shoot,home run basketball. You may think t-mac is back because he makes 1 three here and there but he is playing the same way he was 4 weeks ago. He'll make 1 three and then he will just suck all the life out of the offesne by ball stopping on eveery single play.
BAD COACHING. wtf, where was wafer??? we had no 3 point shooters on the floor when we NEEDED it. i just cant believe this crap. now the thing that really makes me mad is that wafer and brooks were having a great game and still had no pt late in the 4th. this was just BAD COACHING.
T-Mac + Artest on the field ruined it. Artest should be blamed for jacking up 3's all night. Scola missed a critical layup but considering we're without Yao and undersized.. props to him. Alston should never have come back, Brooks was improving. I don't understand why coach doesn't bring Barry in for 3? He's the best 3pt shooter we have.
we can't continue to give away games like this... sad thing is we probably won't learn from this loss
Mcgrady still looks lazy on the court artest suks on shooting Adelman had no plan when the game is on the line
Battier hasn't been as consistent on defense as last season. He doesn't play shut down defense anymore. You see him getting the charge; then he gets blown by Duhon. Tracy or Ron can't hit an open shot. I was disappointed in Tracy missing some easy layups. Rafer... stop shooting.
unbelievable...rox lost the games. artest sucks....faint....1/10 3pts....why did he keep shooting the 3pts in this game?
The lack of ball movement on offense in the last minutes of games concerns me. McGrady and Artest are great players, but it seems like they don't fit well together sometimes....but if they can stay on the court together the rest of the year, that could change. If you look back to the 2nd game of the year at Dallas, this team can be very good if every player is on the same page.
