Disheartening - the team came out lackidaisical.....and clearly did not value this game all that much. So sad....over 40 fast break points allowed....that proves they didn't care... I hate it when the team just gives up the pooty for free. DD
like another team out there from the phoenix game Battier and Jackson will give us some more energy, but this was worrisome
Luther Head is worthless. He turns the ball over, can't defend, makes dumb plays, can't shoot the three unless its garbage time.... and whats with all our bench players throwing the ball up at the hoop hoping it will go in. no layups, just off balance hooks or floaters....... WTF!!!!
At the same it time was kinda expected. I think deep down the whole organization new it would be hard to win all of the remaining games to get the number 1 seed and they also all knew their best chance in the playoffs are gonna be against the Jazz. Tomorrow is a much more important game though
Dam...now all my friends ganna know how weak a team the rockets are. I feel bad for the Warriors fan, now they probably ganna look down on us forever...
The suns are good on both road and at home. The last 2 lost against them they blew us out. They also have Shaq, and mutombo cannot contain Shaq for 7 games. Against the Jazz, we're one of few teams that blew them out at their court. We can contain boozer and okur with smaller players. As for suns, we saw how many paint points they had right? Do you really think guarding the perimeter will win the game? The suns are a good 3 pointer shooting team. In 7 games, they are bound to have a good shooting night. Remember when we lost to them on road? No matter, how good we are at defending, they still made their shots no matter what. We have a better chance beating Jazz on road than playing phoenix IMO. Afterall, the rockets are a good home team, and is the only team that blew UTAH out this year. All t-mac needs to do is light up in one of those games.
See I think the Nuggets are crap, they are a horrible team and really easy to guard and beat with ...oh....EFFORT !! The Rockets just came out like they couldn't give a rats patootie....maybe they really don't want Golden State in, or have another agenda for the playoffs. Who knows, but it was clear that the agenda was NOT to try too hard to win this game...and that is so fricken maddening. DD
Yeah, but we don't wanna go into the postseason on the road against Utah. That could very well happen now. Here's another potentially scary scenario. If the Spurs win in Sactown tomorrow and we lose in Utah(both likely outcomes), what if San Antonio intentionally loses against the Jazz on Wednesday to draw the 4th seed and a 1st round matchup with us(with home court to boot)? That's why this loss could end up being so costly.
