The 2nd quarter sealed the game for the wizards. Rockets just can't make up the difference going into the 2nd half.
Man I wish I had your patience and understandig so I wouldn't take this game so seriously ! You don't know how many times I have wanted to stop watching sports ( Houston teams and Longhorns) because every loss ruins my night and next day !!!!!!!!!1
Now, can our players and coaches realise how the problems we have, we all injured, but not physical, mental injured, including all rocket men, we seems dreaming all the night, benches did much good than starters.. Adelman can you solve our problems?
He just looked uncomfortable and he missed alot of shots he normally makes. I think he took a day off from bball and you always hear from JVG that he needs repitition to stay in his rhythm. He just looked off.
What an embarrassing loss to the Wiz aka Scrubs! I can't believe Yao played like a trash and just like sleepwalking through the game.What he did tonight sucked,obviously,bad shooting game and good rally and energy coming off the bench. I just don't get it why RA benched Brooks and Landry come the final minute of the game.McGrady jacked up a J and missed it instead of driving to the hoop tryna get the foul?I saw him limping after hit a clutch shot but before that shot,that was a bad shot-selection! I just managed to watch the 4th and a little bit of the 3rd.Don't know what exactly happened in the first half.11 turnovers in the 1st half,Ron 8 tos?Are we too tired to knock off the 'SCRUB' Wiz?? Dunno what else to say,I will only credit our bench players for what they did during the rally.
Yao Sucked Tmac Sucked Battier Sucked Rafer sucked Scola sucked on D of Jamison Adelman sucked for asking Scola to guard someone he clearly couldn't Brooks sucked at shooting but ran the offense and the team got back in the game. Artest sucked late in the game, settling instead of going to the hole. The entire team sucked because they did not take the Wizards seriously and this is why this team will NOT be a contender this year, or next until they get real about playing hard night in and night out. Man...I will bet the Boston fans appreciate their team, they play with effort, so do the Cavs....the Rockets...they coast, let crap teams hang around and lose to them a good amount of times. That is 6 inexcusable losses this year to date. The Rockets suck. DD
Artest tried very hard to lose this game also, he can't get a pass for playing bad because he has balls. Poor play is poor play, if Mac, Yao, Alston, get slammed for poor play and bad shooting then Artest does too.
Ok I've seen Rafer sucks thread and Tmac luther head ones 2. Now has there ever been a Yao sucks thread???
This is true. You can analyze the end of the game any way you want, but the bottom line is that we just didnt deserve to win. We didn't bring it for four quarters and thats why we lost. It starts with Yao.
The Rox management need to do something urgent if they want to become a contender. The uncertainty with T-Mac has to be addressed. This guy is grabbing attention away from the game.
1. These past games is a learning experience. With all big 3, go to Artest. He attacks the basket instead of jacking up a shot (Tracy) or go away from the basket. (Yao) 2. Hopefully... Alston and Brooks just had a bad shooting night and didn't revert back to last season form. 3. Tracy's shot is still flat. 4. Rick is probably one of the most patient coach ever. That has it's upside and downfall.
being critical of artest on this board is akin to commiting murder vs. your own kin. no one on this board dare mention artest's deplorable stats for the year and just want to talk about his heart. heart leads to great leadership and just where did artest's heart lead them tonight. artest is a master manipulator of the media...he has had a poor year.
This game shows what Yao said about Adelman a few years ago. Since JVG left, this team has slacked progressively. They dont come to practice their shots like the boston celtics or the Lakers. They dont prepare mentally on a consistent basis because the coach does not set the tone. Yao may have been fatigued tonight, he could use a decent back up after playing 46mins the other night. Players coach my foot. FIRE ADELMAN!!!!!
That's because there were no "intangibles." Taking and making a shot is tangible, something you can feel. When the pressure is on, he'd rather give it to someone else. Its only 1 game. Yao had a good look eventhough I wish he wouldve went to the hoop with the hop step. It was bad energy early and it just continued. No shot blockers, yet we have no one really that wants to go to the rim wreckless. The rafer backers will continue to praise him and his running of the team. Brooks may have not scored, but he forced tempo and it picked up in the beginning of the 4th.
He has hit alot of big shots and he has played his role all year. Never complained. Played through pain. Came up with big steals. Artest has not had a "poor year" by any stretch.
Are you drinking? Exactly how has Artest been a manipulator of the media so far this season? Sometimes you are just loopy.
Boneheaded move by Adelman putting the starters back in plus he compounds it by drawing up the last play for Yao who is in a shooting slump. Adelman is going to get a lot of questions about the questionable substitutions.
