See people need to realize we didn't lose the game by wrong subsitution. We lost the game because the team abandoned our key to victory: the passing game. And that started with Alston and Artest's dumb plays after dumb plays. This loss is on them
Artest need to pass more instead of taking on double teams, and we need a rebounding coach for Yao. He is not aggressive at all on rebounding, and then he gets mad at himself for not getting the rebound.
The Rockets were too rash on firing JVG. The man knows this team better then anyone and can coach with the best of them. Trade Ron Artest for Marion since the Heat are shopping him
Crappy game. Yao looked really slow out there, and 9-35 from Artest, Alston, Head combined...really bad...especially Artest. Some of the shots he took were just ridiculous.
There are no roles in this Rocket's team. Adelman laid back style isn't making things clear for players. You need a nazi style approach like JVG.
I believe we will bounce back the next game, We should not be too disheartened by this lost because: #1- We are on a back to back but so is the Nuggets (we had to travel) #2- This team is a different Nuggets team from last year due to the trade of Billups #3- This team before tip off was tied 5th best record in the League with us #4- We were missing key players Don't worry too much, have faith in the guys.
With T-Mac's frailness, Yao's softness, Artest's inconsistency, and Battier's slow decline, this team needs a player like Rudy Gay. He would help out immensely while T-Mac and others recover and while Ron gets acclimated to his new team. It was a horrible move trading him for Battier. Also, this team will go nowhere with Rafer Alston. If it hasn't hit you by now, it never will, but he's gotta go. Overall, this team is very soft and doesn't take it to the basket strong enough, which is why they get all their shots blocked and don't get the calls from the refs. Rudy Gay would've also helped out in this regard as well.
T-MAC is unhealthy,yao is soft.artest is aimless. big3? you are kidding me! championship is a dream, a dream that can't be realised until 2011 when we trade these three big owners
Well of course. We will be fine, we will have T-Mac Shane, etc. It is an early season. But there is no way for such a poor games from Yao and Ron.
