Gutless. Pathetic. That was as crappy of an effort as I have ever seen from the Rockets. Rafer jacking up bad 3's, Bonzi throwing RIDICULOUS behind the back passes, Yao getting knocked to the ground on a flagrant technical and the entire team showing absolutely NO emotion towards it whatsoever, and the unnecessary last second slam dunk to seal the deal. The Mavericks very clearly have NO respect for the Houston Rockets. If this is a team of MEN, how can they allow themselves to be b**** slapped and treated like that? No balls. No drive. No will to win. This team doesn't look like it even gives a damn. Houston Rockets. The cuckolds of the NBA.
Agreed. Yao gets hit and nothing from our squad. Sadly, I wished Juwan was still on the team because he would have stood up for Yao. Instead, he was on the Dallas bench laughing all night. Regarding the offense, it looks like Adelman is such a "players coach" that a lot of the guys think it is cool to fling up horrible shots and make stupid passes because they know they won't get yanked if they do it. Our offense looks so scattered that even I am growing tired of the wait for these guys to gel under this magical offense that Adelman was supposed to bring.
scola and mutombo need more mins. u cant let devin harris go around slapping people. i wouldve body slammed that little ***
Only thing that pissed me off....besides Yao getting BURNED by that scrub. Was the Rockets repeatedly allowing a Mav guard to drive right down the lane to beat Yao (who is WAY too slow) for an easy layup.
We will never be elite because of the players we have..we have some good players no doubt...but agianst the best teams yao turns the ball over late in the 4th,rafer starts to miss shots as usual,bonzi misses wide open layups,and t mac starts to brick shots when he shold be taking it to the hole.
Adelman said before all these games, these would show the rockets where they were. Now we know...with these players and these lineups at least... they suck.
You phrased it differently but I was thinking "no mental toughness". Yes, the Rox are testically-challenged. Did anyone notice how Dirk, Stackhouse and little Harris just refused to lose? That's the element the Rox lack. wab
is bonzi a big rafer alston? i think the rockets can't do well when the only good player in the 4th who can create or break is tmac. Yao in the 4th is as good as dikembe playing but worse because they actually go to him
one more thing, i would even rather to have the greece guy taking the last shot or drive to the hoop rather than seeing tracy just jack up those fuxking stupid long 2s.
Yao needs to punch someone, preferably Devin Harris, or else his opponents AND the refs will never respect him.
T-Mac should have stood up for Yao when devin hairless brought Yao down kind of like in the Seattle game last year when he almost kicked Nick Collisons ass.
