I concur. Let Ppatt be the new starting power forward next season. Scola is getting too old and his defense sucks.
This is the game where we need an intimidator. As much as I hate Garnett and his dirty antics. Those antics are necessary. NO LAYUPS.
Ha!! Next year's draft is loaded, if we make the playoffs we lose our pick! I'd much rather get the best young talent in this upcoming draft that we can get and look at next year as a developing year for our young guys! Plus we're probably not even going to have Adelman, so its possible that Morey will look to move system guys like Kevin and Brad Miller this off-season. I see us going into full rebuild this off-season, and develop our young talent next year, under a new head coach!

If we do tank next season, I'd stop watching Rockets all together next year. I have a home team to watch if I wanna see a team suck ass.
we are possibly looking at an entire summer of threads just like this... why do we need to break them out now ? let's enjoy some actual Basketball games and being in a playoff chase while we can... cause brother... baseball f***ing sucks.
All of this pessimism doesn't make sense to me... before the game, everyone was saying we needed 8 wins (out of 10) to get into the playoffs. Honestly, this is the team that I expected the Rockets to lose to, and its one of the better teams that we could have lost to in the remaining games and not lost much ground (i.e. better than losing to new orleans or a crappy team). I believe that 8 more wins will still get this team into the playoffs. Whether or not they win that many is another story.
This guy sounds like those new radio guys we have have in houston, that are coming in from other cities, not in texas, and just dissing the history of the rockets. Maybe they don't make the playoffs, but this team will claw and fight til' the last game. *wishing it's a reverse jinx thread
LOL. Someone wanted rep, making this thread still somewhat early. But other than that, do something about Yao's contract.
Man, you guys are jumping the gun. First off, Portland is losing tonight, and have you looked at their schedule? It is brutal. They still have 3 back to backs, and in the 10 games they have left to play: They have Memphis, SA, Dallas, OKC (tonight and another game) and the Lakers. They are by far not a lock to make the playoffs. I'd say if you are looking for a team that may fall out of the race it's be them. You guys own the tiebreaker with portland and if we, memphis, beat portland in our upcoming game we'd also own the tie breaker with them. So don't give up hope, so don't be trying to knock my grizzlies out of the playoffs. Then it's war!
Yeah, but the Grizzlies and Hornets are winnings game we all thought they would lose, so that doesn't help at all.
I hope no one 'expected' to beat the Heat...they're damn good. The fact that the Spurs got their pathetic asses kicked by the Grizz is what pisses me off.
