I wasn't able to catch the game on TV. But when I read the Recap, and looked at the stats, I'm seeing that we outrebounded the Towers 44-39, we had less turnovers 18-19, and we shot more freethrows 21-17. We lost this game by a deuce do to our defense. (You can't blame offense.) I read that Tim Duncan scored 17 points in 4th & OT. Well, whoever kept him to 8 point through out 3 quarters needs to keep him locked up. BTW, who the f$#@ let Mario go off for 19? Again Unacceptable. I got to catch part of the game via NBA.com live stats... and..i noticed we were up with around a minute and change. What we should've done is played better defense so that we never would have had to go to OT. Pick it up. Also, AJ, He's really just garbage.. you can't have him getting numbers comparable to steve's. -elie#17
I saw the game, and the reason Duncan only had 8 was foul trouble. That being said, you are right, our defense is PATHETIC !!! Kenny Thomas did a good job on Duncan late, but I think Carlos got schooled to start the 4th. I want to know why the Dream was not on Duncan. Dream caused him fits in the preseason. So many of the Rockets opponents have been shooting better then 50% lately...tonight .518 % Just a lack of effort by our team...particularly our young guards...Mobley and Francis, the next person they guard on defense will be the first one this year.
