This organization looks likes it's giving up and going for draft picks. Lowry on his first game back and playing poorly had no business in the 4th. Hill was nowhere to be found and RA put chuck in and let Blatche us his height to out rebound and make plays over us. Just like last year when we had a crossroads late in the season and either could have pushed for a 8th seed or go for the lotto, we mysteriously had a large rash of injuries that pushed us into the lotto for a chance at a high pick. Miller was a bad contract and is an overpaid backup center, like a scouting report said about him this year "He's just about done". Our team leadership is terrible, our 3 best players are some of our worst defenders: Scola, Martin, and Brooks. Battier has definitely lost a step, and chuck hayes is very overrated by our coach. We look like a 30 win team (we severely lacked heart and effort early in the game). So this team needs major surgery in personnel.
Well he had Lowry (2-11), Battier (0-forever), Luis Scola (10-20), and Chuck Hayes (1-3) in the game with him. I guess he could have used Scola more... but I don't know what exactly you were looking for him to do.
Him and Scola were both our only offensive options in the game really. Scola seemed out of gas too at the end. Missed some shots he usually would have made.
I am so disapointed with the rockets season start. I have always supported RA in the past. I can't support him any more. RA is to stuborn to play younger players even when his "VETS" are stinking it up he refuses to change his rotation. Lowery played terrible tonight yet RA has him close out the game, hayes has his strengths but in this particular game he should not have been closing the game. We have all this depth in our bigs yet he plays a 6'6 center. I'm just getting very upset while watching these games unfold with with so many bone headed decisions being made with our rotation. It's time for a change in RA thoughts durring the game or a change of coach all together.
Wow. We lost, but that is just and overreaction. O wait I'm on Clutchfans. That home of bipolar fans.
So many people on this board overrate Scola. He's good at some things and flat out sucks at other things due to his lack of athleticism... screw just being smart we need athletes that are smart as well. This is not a math test this is the NBA.
Already having nightmares about Granger and Collison. Hibbert will probably destroy whoever we put out at center as well.
I know everyone on this board love scola. but his defence is just horrible. Yi and Blache (spelling?) look great out there. scola's offence is great, but his defence is really costing us games. No rebounding, not fast enough and does not have the strength to bully people off the block. Scola would be great as a scoring punch off the bench.
wow,,Utah beat Miami and Magic on the road, all heart.. we, however, are about to tank for the season? WTF...
I hope not, that's the worst kinda season you can have in the NBA. The Pacers have been stuck in mediocre land for a while now along with some other teams.
Every team we play know that our offense is based on cutting. If you watch closely they are not letting us cut so easily, and that is the basis of our whole offense. That's why the offense looks forced and has no flow to it. We need Adelman to coach instead of telling players to "read-and-react," or we need a quality starting point guard to control the offense and tempo and to make plays happen when things break down. None of the PGs we have are starting material. And let's not get into the defense....
