    None of the above.

    Coaching staff for not being more flexible and putting the right player in at the right time.

    Battier. Even I was ragging on him last night. I was totally surprised at his +/- though.

    It's time to sacrifice this goat you speak of and enjoy the season. This is a damn good team with excellent team chemistry.

    i am really looking forward to this season, i wouldnt want to trade anyone right now. Not even for a Carmelo.....The first 2qtrs were great!

    everyone was active, i love brad millers passing and how AB and Kmart worked off each other. I think the rockets can really surprise people.
    I like the notion of running the other team tired. We basically have 2 groups of starters that can run full speed all game long and 2 different types of offense.

    I don't think it will be Battier because he will be replace by Bud, the scape goat will be Scola, cause he is the goat. His defense will be the cause, of our loss just like in the Laker' game.

    It's still Shane, he was on Ellis all night and the dude destroyed him.

    It hurts doesn't it? Glad to see that you're finally accepting what I've been saying for a while now.

    Morey, because he just never could get the big thing.

    Sure he found some diamonds in the rough, but still hasn't netted that supposed superstar that we hoped he would get us in the offseason.

    I know for a fact that he said he is waiting on that KG Situation to unfold and he is ready to pounce on it, whether it be Melo, CP3 or some other dude.

    He promised us homecourt in the playoffs.

    The pain is visible in your words. It's like when a kid finds out that Santa Claus isn't real. His immediate reaction is to lash out against the messenger. I tried to explain that Battier was a rapidly deteriorating player to you and others like you on this website in multiple ways. It was done out of benevolence so that the day when Dorell Wright blows by grandpa Shane and when Monta Ellis posts him up, backs him down, and scores on him as if he's not even there, you'd be mentally prepared. You, however, continued to live in your fantasy world.

    On a related note, you were the one that threatened to not be a Rockets' fan anymore if Battier was no longer on the team. I've been a fan long before Battier and I will be one long after he's gone, but if anyone's fanhood should be questioned, it's yours.
