Exactly. I wish I had more time right now... quite a few thoughts running around in my brain, but no time to express them at length. I think a key is the team has no identity when one of their "stars" has to sit out and/or can't perform 100% due to health. Adelman needs to instill in the "supporting cast" that they can over-achieve if they'll just adhere to his system and think of themselves as a team, whether or not they have their stars out on the court. It still may end up as a loss, but I'll repeat: If they can recapture their attitude and energy they had during the win-streak last season, they'll be less dependent on stars. The problem they have in this situation is the supporting cast can't visualize themselves as anything but the supporting cast, thus they will appear rudderless. The supporting cast needs their own "team" meeting. ... maybe a better fleshing out of this later... if time permits.
All depends on your definition of "WE". Some of us are fans who can take a loss, discuss where we were bad and what we may do to improve, and move on. "THEY" are the fair-weather bandwagon btches who will call there own players our for any mistakes made. "TMac is a she" "Yao is weak, soft and useless". I think the only reason there aren't more Artest insults is bc some here are afraid that he would hear about it and track them down...wish he would. I've been browsing this site for a few years now and it didn't used to be this bad. This site is being ruined for true fans by those who have no true loyalty and only want to express their anger that our players aren't really as good as they are on X-Box or Playstation. Maybe the admin can create another forum section for faux-fans who only want to talk trash and seem clever. I'm on the fence of leaving this site for awhile. Real fans stick with their team through good times and bad. Things have been bad lately...no argument...but show a little respect for the professional basketball players who represent this city.
Yeah yeah. I didnt mean everyone. I just remember being in school and coming to this website everyday to read what the real fans thought. I thought it was amazing how well these fams knew and loved there team and there players. But now im a meber/rookie and now im stuck seeing people saying how bad my team is who are fans!!! or I thought were fans. No im not counting everone but i also dont see people sticking up for there team/ players. Maybe thats what Rockets are missing support. Let them know how much we care. Yes i know im only a rookie but i been a fan for years and a couple of bad games will not change that. I love this team. And if Tmac is going out there hurt but still trying for his team/houston/us then im not going to call him a female or p***y he went out there hurt... i think maybe he should of stayed on the bench and let are younger guys play because we know with a team without a hurt big3 we can cream them. I do respect Tmac for going out there hurt for his team. Houston tilll I die.
not to mention dorsey sit again! Maybe they should send him to the D-league if they are not going to use him. Landr, scola and hayes are not centers. I want to see dorsey body someone up with his 7'0 wingspan.
Yeah I wanna see some Dorsey as well. I also wanna see more of Wafer. I dont think were using these guess enough or even at all. So i thought we should of gave them a shot when we played the Mavs even though Wafer came in i think he should of had more mins. Plus i love Skip (unlike most of you) but Iwanna see a bit more of AB. He is little out there but he is a amazing player, he looks so comfortable out there he looks like with a few games under his belt and even a few wins he could be a pretty good leader.
