It's time for a trade. Our guys are too comfortable and aren't playing with urgency. I think a minor trade would even snap some guys out of it. The intensity is just not there.
I agree it can't hurt DD.....because we know how crappy this team is. So it can't hurt. But we both know, even adding them, we may barely make the playoffs. Seriously we would need to win 47 games out of 69 possible games.... That's impossible since it would be another 5 weeks before we see AB. Our best hope is to continue to lose and tank and not be average if we truly want to rebuild. Even a trade at this point, would be pointless. I don't even think Melo could win us 47 games.
We played well. We just didn't shoot well. Those shots WILL fall because budinger and battier aren't bad shooters. Honestly we looked pretty good this game. Obviously the coaching staff made the decision to switch every pick and roll and the team played it out as best they could. I thought that we might confuse them a bit more if we didn't switch every time, but at least the D caused some turnovers. I think we played just as well as they did but they got to the line more and shot more. Thought some of their calls were kind of soft but we fought hard and just couldn't get the 3s to drop. Just try to pick up it next game. Never like losing but if we played the way that we did tonight we would've beaten the raptors.
I think it is time to play the young guys a lot more. Start Hill for one.....and start Cbud to see if he can get out of that funk. Just time to let the young guys play, it can't get any worse. DD
I thought lowry played good. 6 steals for his career high. the only thing was he shot and airball and disappeared in the 4th.
Suns played alot of PnR and made tons of mismatches through out the game by forcing our team to switch.
Need AB and Yao back, or not, we have been winning so much since they have been gone. I guess it was their fault we previously sucked so badly...scrubs.
We just getting a jump on those 31-36 losses we thought we would have this year. I think somebody needs to get real mad and say something to everybody in the locker room. Be it Shane, Chuck, Luis.... anybody.
Oh, just thought it was intentional because it happened 3 straight times where Miller ended up on Nash.
I should have stayed home because clearly me being there hurt the team. At least I got a free hat and wig though. :grin:
got floor seats for the upcoming game in Memphis.. almost wish I would have got Heat / Memphis tickets instead. ugh at least I wouldn't be frustrated and enjoy the game.
yessssssssss finally someone says it! i hate this team that always produces mediocre results then shoves them down our throats and we wilfully swallow it! lakers have a couple bad seasons and pull off the miracle gasol trade and go to the final. wtf????? im not a band wagonfan like some people like to say here if some speak out of turn in this GARM! why are we as rocket fans content with one second round apperance in 10 yrs lakers to 7? yet for other teams it would be considered a total failure. i dont need a team of robot that run on moreys satistics, i need a team with heart,will,determination! things that cant be measured with your bs numbers!!!!!!! IMO THE ONLY THINGS THAT MATTER TO THIS TEAM IS TO GET CHEAP TALENT ( YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR WHICH I MIGHT ADD!) MILK YAO INDORSEMENT..... then when a player is deemed "expensive" he has to go!! WITH LOVE COMES HOSTILITY..... AND WITH THIS ''RED "RISING TEAM I FEEL A HELLUVA LOT OF IT!!!!!!
What's with all the giving today? Oprah gives away VW Beetles to her audience, and the Rockets give away another victory! Too much giving; where's Scrooge when you need him? Oh, wait; he might be a better coach than Adelman !
The lapses where the team seems to give up on both ends of the floor for anywhere from a few minutes to half a quarter or more - they are getting so unbearable to watch. I realize I'm not saying anything new... just hanging my hat on blind hope for a turnaround right now.
it was intentional. they switched so lowry can cover the passing lane. but it also created mismatches. just dumb strategy
After the game I was waiting in line for the bath room at Toyota center. A six years old behind me asking his dad. " Why the Rockets kept shooting 3s after all the misses? They could score more by shooting 2" Gee. The 6 years old is smarter then the Rockets coach. Seriously.
