the rockets are a slow team (besides brooks), the rockets lack height and length(besides yao) and this team has full of injuries but yet, i still believe that this team can be a TOP 3 in the western conference. Once the rockets find a rhythm and stay healthy, they will be dangerous for almost any team. im not too worry about the struggles right now, we still have like 70 games left come on now. GO ROCKETS!
stupid coaching by RA, why not benching the one-leg female Tmac, and give a chance to the two legs Wafer, who has more hearts, guts, and hunger. And sign a real center for back up, trade sf3, and head
the only good thing about the game was that the bartender at local sports bar took the Rockets minus 10 points...... didn't know health status of Yao, Artest or McGrady
What the hell? Its game 13 and im reading things like "Rockets suck" and "Baned Rockets" IT IS GAME 13!!! Last season we had a even crappier start. Yao was out there goes atleast 15 points. Tmac was hurt but did he stop playing? No. Ron Ron hurt but he still played. We already beat The Mavs once and we know we can beat them with a team whos BIG 3 did not all get hurt in there last game. So think about if we would of went in there without getting hurt the night before and if we had Shane. Did i care if we won tonight? No. I thought we should of played alot more of the bench let them get into the mix. Stop counting out the Rockets, i thought we were fans!
No, no I'm sorry this is pissing me off. Ron Artest gets a pass and T-Mac gets blamed. T-Mac brought is back to a 4 point game, and them Artest Missed a 3 just like in SA. Artest played like ass in the game on offense. 4 missed FT's in the 4th quarter. Countless missed lay-ups and wide missed 3 Pointers. Oh and that play where he only got the ball and took it to the lane and got blocked where no one else touched the ball, What was that! T-Mac gets the blame for this? Do you know he's playing on a surgically repaired leg and is supposed to be out until January, and is still out there. Artest is playing like a ball hog on offense and is a TO Machine as of now.
The rockets lost not because they missed Yao but because they don't have legit backup centers! Deke's defense and rebounding would have helped!
What's all the crying about? T-Mac is hurting, Ron is hurting, Yao was out, and Shane is not even in the rotation yet. We will get better as the year goes on. Shane will give us that guy that will spread the floor. That will allow Ron to play off the bench and be the focal point of the offense (he will be able to post up with Yao out) for the 2nd unit. They will be able to cut back on T-Mac's minutes. Eventually Deke will be back on the team and in the rotation. AND Morey still has another move to make with some of our expiring contracts (i.e Head and Francis) Terry and Dirk shot really well tonight... we didn't. You all act like were were supposed to win EVERY game this year. Heck, the lakers lost a game last week and will lose some more. They have no injuries and have been playing together longer than our players. So chill..
No comment on T-Mac and Ron Ron.. Ron smoked a bunch of lay-ups. T-Mac can't hit anything other than one three that gave us hope... Aaron Brooks by far is the most consistent for every game......
The only reasons why we lost is because our offense was no where to be found and the fact that Terry never misses when he plays us.
Yeah seriously. The Mavericks really suck. And watching Dirk choke towards the end of the 4th was almost as good as a victory to me. He never fails to do so. I love it.
The game wasn't that bad as people make it out to be, though it was the usual ugly offense and no defense we've seen a lot so far. We had some great steals, good production on defense by Artest & Scola, good production on offense by Rafer & Scola. However, it seems like people want to blame this loss on T-mac but that is in no way fair. He's played the same amount of defense he usually does, which is almost zip and he did block a shot and hit some nice shots at the end. Artest on the other hand was terrible on offense, the guy has a funny way of dribbling into a crowd and keeping it alive just because of his strength. That's the only thing that's keeping him from turning it over. And what's up with Artest non ability to jump ??? This guy doesn't even come up a few inches of the floor when he tries to lay it up, he plays NO LAYUPS on himself right now. Also, Artest makes some really stupid decisions at times like on the fast break when Wafer was on his left one step behind him so he could've easily dunked it and he had Barry on his right who he passed it too but really sloppy. Barry was downright awful and Wafer should get his minutes on Friday. He's hurt us so far this season more than he's done good, his defense is overrated and his offense is below par right now but that will come. Another thing again was the stagnant offense and that's not all McGrady. Yes, he does have the ball a lot on offense and wants it but that doesn't mean the rest can just STAND AROUND AND LOOK !! Same thing happened when Brooks went to work at times, nobody moved and luckily he made a 30 foot shot and found Wafer on the next possesion. We can do a lot better than this so we shouldn't be worried because that 2-17 FGs in a quarter is not going to happen a lot over the course of a 82-game season.
I can live with this loss. At least we were able to kept it close when Dallas was shooting like 70%...... lol at JVG, "verbal flop?" What the......?
