i believe Walt was 3-6 from the 3 point line. And you kno that he will shoot better next game because he has his confidence back. I am pretty happy and a little disappointed about the game. First of all, we once again lost our huge 4th quarter lead. Once again, we missed a lot of free throws. And we got killed in the 4th quarter on the boards; that was one of the reasons why the Grizz got so close. And finally, our defense sucked because we let a team like the grizzlies almost win. There were a lot of positives, but the main one was Walt getting out of his slump. His shooting will surely help us out <strong>a lot</strong>. And I am really lookin forward to Stevie's return to this new rockets team. BTW, even though Walt played well... Man he is such an idiot for getting that 5 second violation being called on him!! We had a sure win if we had simply inbounded it, and we could have lost the game due to that stupid play. I mean, come on!! I was sure that he called a timeout. You look to see who's open; if no one is, then call a damn timeout!!
At least he made that big 3, and thats what made the rockets win. So comes out even. That shot is going to get his confidence really high.
Actually, Walt was 4-10 from the 3 point line. And if this qualifies for being out of a shooting slump, then we better trade him quickly. The guy is not playing very good ball at all, stupid turnovers (with his lazy passes), not very sound defense, and his shooting touch is less than desireable. Not to mention, that bonehead, 5 second call, that could have turned out to be very crucial. It could of cost us the game. I have been in Walts corner all season, but it is getting time to cut our losses and go a different direction. Whether that means trade him or bench him, something has to be done. Bringing Mack back may be the easiest answer right now, if not another trade. But this guy is not doing it out on the court right now, and that needs to be addressed. Otherwise, the Rockets are showing some great strides, even Drew is playing very well in the last few games. Hopefully, he can keep it up, cause that would give us a good boost off the bench when Francis is out. Go Rockets!!!!
Francis3: He made the big 3 before he almost coughed up the game. Did you see that worried look on his face after he carelessly forgot to call that timeout?! What a bonehead play, and i would have blamed him solely for the loss. But luckily the Grizz can't make free throws in the clutch and even when they try to miss on purpose they make it. I was laughing my ass off when Big O made that free throw. I hope this is a big turning point for the Rocks. They have a big East coast swing this week.
