what the heck happened to our defense?

no jvg

 

OMG, let's tank the season for a lottery pick.

Oh, and

 

The defense left with JVG. It's all on the players now.

 

Why isn't this in the game thread? Or the post-game thread?

 

I want to give a special thank-you to adelman and rafer for costing us this game.

 

WE WANT STEVE!

 

because its another one of those reactionary complaints after a loss. One bad defensive game and suddenly we are a bad defensive team regardless of what our season averages tell us.

We had one bad game defensively, it happens, not the end of the world

 

I don't know but it looks to me like we thought this would be an easy win and underestimated them.

The refs also called some bull**** fouls.

 

Tom Thibodeau took it with him to Boston

 

Totally agree

 

oh c'mon
you got let memphis win some game to sell the ticket.
if we keep losing the next three games, then start complaining.

it's all about the referees, they just love grizzlies and they hate us!
BUT, our bench players are not doing well, and our strategy is wrong, you cannot expect Yao, Battier and Rafer play well in fast transition. WE NEED TO GO HALF-COURT!!!

 

Yao was atrocious on D tonight, when he had been good for most of the season.

 

Check the box score and you will find that they were sent to the FT line 41 times tonight while we are only 24 times.

 

The game was officiated terrible, they could beat up Yao in the post, they fronted him and wouldn't let him get position. The whistle should have been blown to ease the beat down Yao was getting trying to gain position but once he got the ball they had no chance at stopping him.


41 free throws to 24 for the rockets

 

Check the box score for the difference between Rudy Gay and Shane Battier -- mind numbing.

 

yao was getting lit up by darko

Shane's missed three in the corner at the end of the game
