Without Landry, our chemistry is broken against good teams. Even though he's just one guy, I firmly believe this.
I really do believe that the Rockets can make it out of the first round this year with the right match-up. But lets be honest - anything beyond that is pretty much a pipe dream if we have to face the Lakers or Spurs.
Talk about under utilizing Yao. Amazing, the guy plays a huge number of minutes and mostly gets touches in the high post. These guys have to figure it out.
Yao looked like he was about to cry. He took this game personally because the Lakers are the measuring stick. He knows the Rockets aren't even on the same level as Lakers and the truth hurts. Depending on how important winning a championship is to him, I'm not sure if he'll resign with the Rockets.
the offence was just plain messy, way too many turnovers down the stretch, and they cant do **** when Yao's fronted. artest chuck fest didnt really help either. the result is kobe lit a fire under our asses. are we really coming out of the first round like this???.....
We need somebody like Kobe, not to make ridiculous crunch time shots, not to make great defensive plays, but to orchestrate the team's offense and makes sure the ball goes to the best matchup we have on offense, someone who has the respect of ALL his teammates who will do exactly what he tells them to do. Yao is that guy on our team but he doesn't do it.
i want adelman fired. this game was the last straw. he doesn't know to run a play in the clutch, minute management is terrible, our offense is pathetic and yao is severely under-utilized.
Hopefully Landry is ready in a couple days when we play the Blazers at home, because we definitely need him if we wants HCA.
One bench guy missing is not the main problem. Go back to our first game against the Lakers this season, we thought not having Battier was the reason we lost. That's not true. Battier's D is not more than average. It's PG and SG that's the problem.
