    Like the title says, I'm wondering what Les is waiting for? This team is terrible and show no clear signs that we are improving. We have major holes in our roster and our offense (under JVG) sputters like an old 86' Honda Hatchback.

    Q: Does Les think this team will just start rolling the offense?

    A: JVG has never been able to run an efficient offense and still has yet to do so. Ruined a 40ppg+ backcourt and has done the same to the 2-time scoring champ. Things won't change.

    We saw some potential in Dallas, but went right back to JVG ball vs. Phili.

    This team has broken all sorts of "scoring lows" records this season. We've lost to bad teams (Hawks, Knicks) because of lack of offense, we squeeled by terrible teams (Nets, Sixers) and have basically lost to everyone else.

    I'm just tired of watching this team play like crap. JVG has come in, brought M. Jackson/Oakley/Spoon/Ward/Deke, they didn't amount to crap, and still seems to blame everyone else.

    If you're wondering why the TC is 1/2 empty, even with 2 of the most popular players in the league, JVG is your answer. Houstonians don't want to use their hard earned money to watch a team sputter through BORING games, and end up losing in the end. It's crap.

    Sorry guys, I'm just venting my frustration. We've played 18 games and we suck, there have been almost no positives so far. This team is capable of so much more yet we seem to be in denial of what can make us much better. There isn't a better time than the present to make a move. FIRE JVG!!

    If there is one quote that can describe our season so far, here it is:

    "Southwest leader San Antonio won its seventh straight after thumping Milwaukee 104-83 on Saturday. Second place Dallas throttled Utah 109-86 behind only 30 from Dirk. Not least, thrid-place Houston ended a five game losing streak."- I guess they didn't want to mention we just sneaked by the Sixers 76-75 while playing at home.

    rich argh is right; We've got NOBODY to trade that anybody would want save Yao and Tracy and possibly jim jackson. We blew our tradeable assets last year for Tracy & trash.

    Yep, I though I put that in my post but ya'll are right.

    This team won't be able to get good help from a trade. We've have no trade bait whatsoever. You know it's bad when the Rockets best trade asset is FREAK'N CLARENCE WEATHERSPOON!

    I think maybe once other players become free agents, they will not want to come here because of Gundy. They'll be afraid that he will destroy their game. I think Gundy would have even destroyed Jordan's game.

    You know, when you have a loser, the sooner you cut that thing out the better. It's kind of like a dead fish. Maybe you could eat it the first hour, or cut bait a little later, but past that, it's not good for anything, smells horrible, and breeds disease.
