Another game that we lost that showed no effort no energy no scoring no defense and we just threw the game once again.The Rockets only scored 14pts in 1st quarter and 11pts in 3rd that is crap. WHERE IS OUR OFFENSE,WHERE IS OUR ENERGY AND ENTHUSIASM AND MOST IMPORTANTLY WHERE THE HELL IS TMAC aka T-Lack. Yao didnt show up and the whole team didn't show up except Von Wafer That game was so bad that the highlight for the rockets was Chuck Hayes Freethrows We need to win the the games that we need to win This team is not a contender and Tmac(aka T-lack) will be a 1st round virgin to the day his career will be over (which is really soon).....
If you go into a game and expect your stars to bring it and they don't you're doomed for failure. You are better off when your role players know that they have to step it up because someone else isn't playing than the star being there and not delivering.
For reasons I find baffling...which wouldn't change if Van Gundy returned...the players getting the majority of minutes have zero skills in transition O. For Alston, McGrady, Head, Battier, Hayes and to a minor extent Landry...transition O is akin to watching paint dry. If you get no easy baskets in transition, you are reduced to pounding it into the paint. If that doesn't work, your half-court set becomes dump it into the post and quick out for a perimeter shot. They lack passers, cutters and drivers that can finish.
