Now Donaghy, why don't you be a good boy and tell us which ref has his saving account riding on the Fakers today?
Cmon guys, give the Rockets some credit, they did battled very very hard! If u go to the first 10 games prediction thread, you will see that almost everybody penciled us a lost in this game. I watched the game from streaming, and it was great to see..had me having a heartbeat on every possession and I'm sweating also now. Just too bad it is a lost, but hey, hope we can stay this good for the next games. Start it by winning against Thunder! GO ROX!
Game tying 3 after leaving Artest open to put them in that situation. 1 3 does not make up for a game of horrible shooting and lackluster defense.
2 Things learned from this game. - Ariza should not take 21 shots. He is not, nor will he ever be a volume shooter. - Carl Landry needs more minutes. Scola gets sloppy late in games.
I believe you're referring to when the Chuckwagon got the quick offensive board and threw a bullet pass to Battier?
despite the loss, we played well except a few critical turnovers made by brooks. the result could have been different if the last possession was used wisely.
I would have rather seen pops than cook, ugh, anything other than cook. Aaron needs to handle that trap better, held on the ball too long. Refs screwed us on the non-shooting foul and non-call at the end. But we had so many close shots that we missed towards the end of the 4th. Loved Chuck's emotions, loved everyone's effort, just need to play smarter down the stretch. Keep working, great showing, wish it was a win, but this Rockets team is no joke.
You mean the Lowry who passed the ball right to Kobe earlier? I think we need both AB and Lowry on the floor late to stop the trap at the half court line. DD
hard to swallow this loss...but i love these rox, excellent efforts... gotta spit this out-kobe got lots of favors from the refs, every time he shoots, automatic foul on a rocket...
Exactly... Brooks was the only guy out there who could create his own shot. He had no business picking the ball up. Crap calls really hurt us too. Kobe gets the touch fouls and then the refs bail out Odom on a stupid foul on Brooks (an obvious shooting foul).
