    Worst in forcing turnovers (did someone say defense?).

    Worst in FG%.

    Worst in assists.

    Most in ISOs.

    Nothing has changed.

    Most in injuries.

    Most in whining about injuries.

    Most in dribbles per quarter.

    Least in minutes for a #1 draft pick over a season.

    They'll also lead the league in the number of fans overreacting and turning on them and pounding them and ripping them after every loss.

    - Most missed highlight-reel dunks

    - Most useless fancy dribbling

    - Most celebrations after dunks while losing by 10 points in the 4th quarter

    - Highest degree of difficulty on fade-away outside shots

    It is only game 1 of 82, but if tonight is any sign of the season to come I'm going to pull the few remaining hairs I have left on my head after last season :mad:

    Nobody is personally attacking the team. What is the problem with showing significant displeasure at an awful display of basketball?

    That game multiplied every reason we sucked last year and weren't even close to the playoffs by a factor of 10.

    Get off your high horse and smell the manure. And then talk about it so maybe, by some miracle, this discourse will find its way back to someone in the Rockets organization...

    BB, you said it right. Pulling hairs!

    I try, I really do try to enjoy the game. But it's like every play is a knuck-head
    play. It's like ALL THEY CARE ABOUT IS JACKING UP SHOTS!

    They only worry about scoring, the HARD WAY; fadeaways and ISOs.

    There's NO DEFENSE, NO REBOUNDING, NO BOXING OUT, NO MOTION.

    Those are JUST AS important as SCORING.

    The Rockets will lead the league in:

    -- "And One" shouts

    -- alley oops off the backboard

    -- afro sheen

    -- billboards

    -- false advertising

    Yeah, notice how it's all the fans who were predicting the Rockets to win 45+ games too.

    I'll agree with this one.

    Did anyone notice that the Pacer fans started booing when they
    subbed Cato with Jason Collier (3rd QT).

    Even the Pacer fans wanted Yao to be on the court.

    So after one game AT this team is exactly like last year's 28 win team. Oh ok. Lets complain to management, that way they rip this team for losing the first game of the year. Afterall a team that loses their starting SF, starting PF, and last year's starting PF SHOULD go out there and beat a playoff team on the road. It's one thing to rip a team for poor effort, it's another to compare them to last year's team after one loss. Especially with the number of injuries they suffered. Hopefully they'll be reasonably healthy in a few days.

    They still will win that many games. But, they will do it the hard way.

    Forcing shots and ISOs. Just like 2000-2001 (two years ago, not last year).

    I guess they thought the Rockets would win the first 20 games of the season. I can understand SOME of the complaints after the first few games, but there are people going crazy after one loss. On the road, undermanned against a playoff team no less!

    The strategy and stupid mistakes are EXACTLY like last year. Yes.

    The injury card is old. Play it if you want but I won't.

    Stupid basketball lost this game.

    Now, if the Rockets lose to Denver, Turn will make his reTurn.

    At:- You hit the NAIL on the head! Stupid Basketball! A lack of leadership from the Coach and Point Guard, they MUST take the blame!! Steve Francis had a great game but forgot that he plays Point Guard.
