    I know the season is young, but we've lost the first two games of the season. What do you think the reason is for this? Poll time...

    T-Mac isn't a ballhog, but each of the other answers has obviously been a problem. We ain't real good.

    For me it's a mixture of team Chemistry and just to early to tell....i think we are just starting out slow and that's about it...im not worried about it one bit.

    Honestly I don't see the point of this... we've played two... count 'em...two games, both against teams in their home openers. Everybody knew this beginning part of the schedule would be tough especially w/ all the new talent on our roster. Thats all there is to it... 0-2 is not a rough start (in football yeah)...if it gets to 0-5, then yeah ok.

    Chemistry. These players have to get used to each other.

    Man it's a long ass season, 0-2 is nothing to stress over, yet, in fact I predicted a 2-4 start, but I must admit that I thought Toronto was one of the W's, anywayz, strap up and get on, or unbuckle and get the phukk off, unlike a lot of people on this forum this is my team, sink or swim.

    It should be a multi-choice type poll

    A mix between lack of team chemistry and a bad coach.

    1) Lack of Team Chemistry
    2) PG
    3) Outside shooting
    4) Nads for Yao

    Our "team" really has no clue how to play together right now.

    Having no offensive scheme what so ever. You have two dominant guys at their position and a guy who can score on anyone (MoT). Freakin get them the ball in the right spots and let them do their thing. This isn't freaking highschool ball. This is NBA ball where people can go above the rim and score.

    I think Rudy T understood this because he was all-star NBA player, where as JVG thinks this is the junior college team he played for.

    I think right now, we are like last year's Miami Heat. Didn't they lose something like 15 games out the gate before rebounding to make the second round of the playoffs?

    It's kind of hard to put a finger on it. I think perhaps we are a bit slow with our rotations because guys are still learning their roles.

    They run and gun..that's their style....it's a little different then our half court oriented slow down the game style.

    just slightly different :D

    Heat lost the first nine.

    BTW, I don't want the Rockets to be like last year's Miami Heat!

    Man I'll give this team till allstar break even if it feels like a long long season

    but that doesn't mean I can't b**** about them. but right now they seem completely lost. all of them have played individually not as a team.

    time will tell.

    as a side note Shaq is facing adjusting pains as well, he's only has 10 pts playing in the third

    completly agree with this except i think our outside shooting is decent but could be better of course.

    Yao really does need to grow so balls or something....cause there are too many times he is going up with finnesse...he needs to go up strong draw the foul and dunk or just push people out of the way.

    They are calling a lot of BS offensive fouls on him but i really think he needs to just get nasty and let people know he is going to take over the lane.

    Right now no one is going to respect him one bit and will push him around if he keeps doing these little finesse layups. He is 7'6" and should play that big...not play like he is 6 foot and let everyone block his shot...

    He needs a real coach in there to teach him...not Ewing.

    What is wrong with you guys?

    How can you have this poll without an option "We gave up Cato."

    This team has no toughness, rebounding, or heart without Cato. Think about that next time you question what's wrong with the Rockets.
