    Free throw shooting, Brooks' play, Scolandry's play, Artest's shooting, somehow managing to lose by only 12 when it felt like losing by 32.

    These positives don't mean much if the end result is in a loss. You can try to build on it but the team's fate lies in the hands of Tracy and Yao. Although I don't want to trade Artest, I think it will be the likely scenario as he is the easiest to move and change is severely needed.

    alright we need some basketball jokes to cheer up the board.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------

    Michael Jordan, after living a full life, died. When he got to heaven, God was showing him around. They came to a modest little house with a faded Chicago Bulls flag in the window. "This house is yours for eternity, Michael," said God. "This is very special; not everyone gets a house up here."

    Michael felt special, indeed, and walked up to his house. On his way up the porch, he noticed another house just around the corner. It was a 3-story mansion with a brilliant White, Purple, and Gold sidewalk, a 50 ft. tall flagpole flying an enormous Los Angeles Lakers flag, and in every window a Lakers logo.

    Michael looked at God and said "God, I’m not trying to be ungrateful, but I have a question: I won six NBA Championships, more awards than I can remember and am the greatest player of all time."

    God said "So what do you want to know, Michael?"

    "Well, why does Shaq get a better house than me?"

    God chuckled and said "Michael, that’s not Shaq’s house, ...it’s mine."

    --------------------------------------------------------------------


    Q. Why did Ron Artest
    leave the game early?

    A. Because he wanted to beat the crowd.

    ----------------------------------------------------------

    The captain of a team says to the ref, "My coach wants to know if there is a penalty for thinking." The ref says, "No." The captain says, "Well my coach thinks you're an a**hole, then."

    Tmac is not the one who shoots the most in Rockets anymore! His fga/game is 13.85, 0.04 less than Artest.

    I got to save my eyes from strain by not having to watch the rest of the game.

    Positives?

    Well we can only force some positives through.

    McGrady went for a fancy dunk, failed, lost confidence especially since he was on road.

    Yao looked pissed.

    Our team looked pissed.

    Despite all the things going on, we still have hope. Hopefully, by the time the second half season comes, we can get something together.

    It's time our locker room had a huge fight. Only a team therapist will fix this current problem

    No, it just requires Adelman or Morey to morph into Popovich and bench Tmac.

    This isn't necessarily a positive, but I am positive it's a correction... We are already in the second half of the season. After tonight we have 30 games left.

    not gonna happen. they've had enough times of meetings "behind closed doors", remember?

    i don't understand why les has been so obsessed on mcgrady. time to cut losses, boss, before it's even worse.

    You are right it won't happen, and that is why the team will ultimatly underacheive this year.

    We may get a Wade Phillips moment this offseason where Adelman says he is gonna get tougher.

    A Soft coach and a soft manager just dare not touch a soft "superstar". Outrageous. Houston is having a serious coaching problem.

    I may get burned but I think T-Mac played defense against the passing lane really well
