    my pictures looked like that... on zoom. okay not quite that bad, but we were standing on the very last row.

    Nice meeting and chatting with you tinman.

    Game was worth the trip. Got to see a great game. There were quite a few Rockets fans at the AT&T Center. We had some people move closer to sit near us so our Rockets section grew as the game went on. We cheered non stop throughout the game.

    Man Spurs fans are sooo much nicer than Mavs fans. Watching Rockets games in San Antonio beats the Toyota Center and American Airlines Center. You get the really passionate Rockets fans that show up to SA, and every time you run into other fans, it's so exciting- high fives, talking, and often a "yeah, go Rockets!" exchanged to one another. I talked to a bunch of Rockets fans at the AT&T Center tonight.

    I am glad there were not any children around our section because a lot of curse words were expressed after that loss. guilty.

    We had a great performance from just about everyone who played tonight.
    Brad Miller & Hill looked good
    Battier was contributing on offense
    Chuck Hayes did well on the boards

    We sure needed some more scoring options. It was unfortunate that Chase was cold tonight. It was just frustrating watching Ish, known for not being a great shooter, take as many shots as Scola. We didn't really have anywhere else to go. He came up short on those tear drop shots a lot. It's great that he can get to the basket and get those shots off, hopefully they'll start falling, but sure would be nice if he had made more of those. I really like Ish though.

    Get out. No one needs your negativity here. True rocket fans analyze and discuss rocket team problems with reasons, not simply berate - hate posts like this. :mad:

    I saw a dispointing first half. Then I saw a totally different team in the second half and OT. Defensively, everyone roated and competed with the shooting. Offensively, the ball flew around the players and the player who got the best open look shot. That's the game I like to watch. Another loss? It doesn't matter because if I found out the reason of the 0-5, the coaches should know basketball better than me and will figure out what to do in the rest of the season. This could be a season turn-around day for the Rockets.

    Oh, what's the difference of the first and second half? That would be our point guard.

    It doesn't take an Isiah Thomas basketball mind to see that this team has an identity problem. No one needs you policing posts with your koolaid soaked blinders on telling everybody else what TRUE Rockets fans feel. "I'm a man, I'm 40(31)!!!"

    I've been watching the Rockets since I was about 7 (1986). My life damn near revolves around the (non)success of Houston sports teams. - hate posts like this. :mad:

    Disciple of RP - there's no policing. I'm just a fellow rocket fan who can't stand those who state the obvious or put down the rockets (regardless of how bad they are). We know they are sucking now. Who needs more negative comments. My point is at least say something with reason.

    Oh, the fact that you've been watching Rockets since 1986 bears no relevance to the fact. I've been watching my rockets just as long so let's stay in scope of discussion. Thank you.

    All the games we have lost have been close games against very good teams. It's gonna get better, just be patient.

    I know I know, fans and patience don't go well together. Here's a smiley to make you feel better :) .

    I think they have looked good in all of their losses. In some way the coach has looked horrible in every single one of them with his decisions that could have won almost all of them late. I think Adelman's a good coach though so there isn't anything we can do about it. He has match-up problems and lineup problems he cant figure out. Its not his strength as a coach.

    Oh, the fact that you think that you dictate who the "real" fans are vs. the "fake"(?) bears as much relevance. Thank YOU, sir. Thank you.

    Yup. Real fans bleed rockets and supports the team win or lose - who likes criticism? Like I said, just get out. Thank you.

    i think carrol dawson was still gm when we made the battier for gay trade but i may be wrong. also u have to understand our situation when we made the battier-gay trade, we were coming off a poor 34 win season which we had high expectations for but mcgrady went down with an injury and that botched the season and we were in a win-now mode with a mcgrady who was still good and yao coming off a career season. getting gay then would have been getting a younger tmac clone and a project, and we didnt need that at the time, we wanted a 3 who could play defense and that was battier. we all knew that gay would probably become better than battier when we made the trade but its not the managements fault for trying to make a move to win a championship that season

    You are losing faith very quickly. I don't blame you.

    This team better learn how to win these close games soon, or the wheels will definitely come off, especially mounting injuries to key players.

    The only silver lining tonight is that Shane and Chuck came out to play.

    I wouldn't have used the words Bulls**t (DD was POed because all of that red koolaid he drank before the season is now giving him an upset stomach) but that was definitely nothing more than (yet) another Morey spin-job. I expected this when I saw all they were doing was bringing back Yao and adding Brad Miller. That simply wasn't going to be enough to make it in the West.

    I listened to the post-game call-in show and the guy was characterizing this team as "the best 0-5 team he's ever saw". My reaction was REALLY? Because when did they start handing out style points for loses or posting won-loss records with explanations (we're 0-fer but that last loss was encouraging...)? At the end of the day, you are what your record says you are. BUT to all those posting that the season's over and done: there are still 77 (that's Seventy-Seven) games left to go. The time for making drastic changes has not yet arrived.

    Nope, the Rockets choked away the game. They had so many opportunities to close this game out and failed on each one :mad:
