thats because they couldn't set up a play and the shot clock was down to 5......watch the game, pay attention.
Worthless.. Adelman is so predictable... as soon as i saw that the game was winding down i knew his dumb logic would bring back the starters that weren't performing at all... and what do you know, here they come strolling out... so stupid...
After the Jazz game, someone should have sent a note to Adelman that this team is slowing losing its defensive identity. It showed up again tonight. A bad Wiz team without 2 of their all stars and mostly scrubs...Its time for head to roll... I know the coach has not had healthy players but he is a poor decision maker in close games. He does a poor job of preparing his players. He needs to go.
As a Yao supporter I am really disappointed in the guy's game. He has been in the league for 7 years now and I am running out of excuses for him. Damn Yao stop playing like a tall stiff! and man up.
We need to start going to Artest more on the low block to start games. Yao is clearly not himself lately and its costing us games. Artest is what we need right now to pull us through this pathetic string of poor play. Battier needs to sit and get healthy. He looks like a shell of himself right now.
Good points about this game: 1. The second unit. Landry, Barry, Scola, clutch performance by Artest. 2. T-Mac. All you haters, it's clear that he was trying hard and doing all he could. That's enough for me. 3. Coaching flexibility. See 1. Let's build on this and take the Bucks for a fresh start in the new year! Amen.
but he still made his clutch shot.. cant single him out. every1 was shooting bad. shouldve went with it again. or put landry in to dunk it. this was a bad shooting game.
I agree ! I'm just waiting for that post where a poster says " This could be our 76ers game like last year where we had that turn around ! " watch someone will post it !
Seriously, I think players like Yao should not get married b4 he got a ring. He probably just spent too much time on bed exercise the day before the home game.....
Did u watch that game dude ? I can accept the failure if all the players try to win like Artest did, but you know, except artest, barry, landry and brooks no one has heart on this team.
Yao used to play very well against Wizards. Don't know why he performed so poorly tonight.

Rick Adelman's coaching is stupid. Why would you put back the starters in the game when the bench players got you back into it???? I know it's normal for the stars to finish games, but when your stars sucked in the beginning of the game, don't have them finish it. Ron Artest, Barry, Landry Scola got us back in the game. They should've finished it and Ron or Tmac should've had the last shot-not Yao. Yao was horrible tonight and during the Utah game last time, he couldn't hit the game winner. Yao is not clutch. Why would you have him take the last shot, Coach Adelman???? It was just disappointing how the Rockets came back in this game and then have Yao take the last shot when he was playing so bad the whole game.
