Where has our zone defense disappear too? I do not recall the ROX using much of the zone during tonigts game vs GS. ROX are good when they use a combination of the zone and man to man. I just wished Rudy would have use it to stop sever player on GS. I'm getting a little concern because ROX has not tighten down on the defense in the last 5 games or so. GS was taking it to the cup on our defense and went to the line 21 times. The REFS blew several calls, but that just part of the games. ROX'S chemistry is begining to show. We were doing a good job earlier in the season, but have slack off. I believe defense will take us to the playoff.
Forget all that. Why do the Rockets sux against team that we should beat? What is that about? If the Rockets lose their next game against the T-wolfes, the Rockets will most likely fall to the final spot(8), or probably the nine spot, which kicks us out of the playoff picture. Dam! I hate this, come on Rockets am begging you, please play smart!!!! win!
Whenever offense fails good constant defense can keep things close and also can help generate offense. Unfortunately the Rockets panic and start making mistakes on defense when things aren't going right on the offensive end.
The last game was about as close as you can get. I'd say that holding the opponent to less than 90pts is doing well on defense.
