Need to find someway to stay afloat, meaning near or at .500 by mid December. Keeping my fingers crossed, the team should have a healthy roster. Got to believe things will get better.
It's funny to watch the uber-homers continue to insist that this team will compete (WE JUST NEED TO GIVE IT MORE TIME!!!). Why? Because they're your team? Because they just HAVE to get better??
Yeah because as a Rockets fan thats what we should all be hoping for. Its really early in the season. Im not going to say its a lost season in November.
Wow! Panic in Clutch City. We should be thankful that the people who run the Rockets are not these fans in this garm. It is times like these that really show what we are made of. I thought Clutch City has that name because of people who are the antithesis of the panic-driven fans here. Got to slow down with the fuming, ranting and raving and keep a cool head.
^^ Hoping is one thing. Dealing with reality is completely another. The unfortunate reality is: we suck.
It's not hysteria per se but rather a severe case of unrealistic expectations for a team that basically stood still in the off season. Their biggest free agent signing? Brad Miller. Their biggest reason for optimism? Getting Yao Ming back from yet another injury. This is an average NBA team with too many one-dimensional players who can either score or play defense but not both. Too many people bought into the company line about this being a talented and deep team and based their expectations accordingly and now that the injury bug has struck (again), this team, it's players and front office has been exposed as inadequate. At this point, given the current cast of characters, a strong finish that vaults them into playoff contention appears to be a long shot at best.
Reality is nobody knows what the real problem of why we are not winning games. Could be the coach could be the team could be the front office. But us being fans we should support our team win or lose because why bother watching the rockets games if you have the thought that " we suck " in our minds. Not trying to call you out as I am frustrated too but season still new never know what's going to happen until crunch time.
It just feels like tanking. I wouldn't want this team too, but its not looking bright from here. I'm sure Melo doesn't want to come here, and theres not really anyone to trade for. We need a bigger pure point guard who can defend, and a super star. The draft is the easiest to get one.Be it by actually drafting high or trading that pick/player.
did you guys see how spur maintained their composure and hold off the bull's late rally today, that's how a good team should play... our team right now is missing firepower and defense, with yao and aaron, at least we got firepower, without them we go nothing.............
LMFAO........I no longer get angry or upset, i actually really laugh out loud. I hope we suck so bad that instills the need for change SOON make this team more exciting and relevant. Ill go ahead and say it once again.........Trade Everyone! Start new and fresh. And if this plan seems too unrealistic then trade anyone you have to in order to obtain two or three max players. Caremelo Anthony is very available, Dwight Howard is hinting toward not signing an extension. That's two max players right there, having those two opens things up and maybe Derron Williams or Chris Paul will fall on your lap. I want me some of them Olympians on the Rockets team. Then just get some young guns and play them as complementary players and allow some growth as opposed to playing broken down vets. That's my opinion, CONSIDER it already.
Time is starting to show that this team just isn't that good. They have to fight hard to beat really bad teams, and good teams just show them up. But, we don't have AB or Yao, arguably the teams two best players. So I'm hoping when they get back/healthy the team will be better.
I can't really point to one thing this team does well. We arent tall We arent athletic We cant defend We arent quick We can't shoot There is not alot of hustle We cant really rebound All our chemistry is gone
