I headed to Lake Charles at halftime. I see we lost. Did Howard foul out? If not, our bigs played like crap, our coaches were deficient or the refs were biased. Three fouls before the half, no way he finished that game.
Fourth game in six days and the team looked fatigued, but sadly the tough January schedule is just beginning. Dwight Howard having a big night I could understand, but he was in foul trouble and guys like Bass, Anderson, and Clark were having their way with Houston's frontcourt players. Rough night for all our bigs.
I'm not the only one who has said this. Both Charles/Kenny/ and Cwebb all said the same thing about the entire team mostly. Also It is supposed to be a escape for most athletes. Melo the entire year has not made much noise. It feels like they are just going through the motions, waiting for him to be traded. Point is, cruel or not. You play on the court/field whatever it is you are expected to do your best and produce. Melo is not the only guy to have a tragedy happen and had to work through it.
It wasn't just Scola, though he obviously looked bad. They blew past Patterson and Miller too. Jeffries is the only one who seemed to play any real defense last night.
I don't think they know what it takes to win a ring any more than Carmelo. Is it any wonder that only one of those guys have a ring and he got it by riding on Hakeem's coattails?
Well at least my team won tonight, but dang, I could not wait to get home and see the Rox game, that 3rd quarter...ugh.....it was over... Lots of players stunk we are a jump shooting team now, and when they don't go down, we are screwed. DD
