    I'm a beleiver. Any shot McGrady takes is a good shot. The dude is unbeleivable. He just didn't make it but he got a clear view of the rim.

    Could we have gotten a better shot? Maybe. But 9 outta 10, McGrady is your guy. I ain't mad at him.

    Suggested revision:

    We are lack of *young, talented players*. Speaking of this, I'd really like a *whole Pistons starting lineup* type of players on our team.

    (except keep TMac and Yao)

    Let's keep this simple, shall we?
    Last night's loss was no big mystery.

    1) Rockets couldn't hit an open shot

    2) Not enough height under the basket

    I thought that play was genius.....

    even after we lost, I had a smile on my face, because we gave it our all, and played smart....

    It was a shame that Wesley didnt hit the shot, but I'd run that play in the same situation every time...wide open three? and the guy can shoot

    This thread is a weak attempt to bash Tmac. Nice try YOF.

    How is this an attempt to bash TMac. I put that up as a joke knowing that some people would select it.

    The rockets comfortably winning a game is a very rare instance.

    Why you didnt put the option WE HAVE SIX INJURED PLAYERS as an option is beyond me.

    YOF, I put the option "we dont lose because of the clutch" DUMB*SS. Falls right into that category. Anyways, those games were all still winnable. The rockets play great for 43 minutes, and then it just goes bad. The only player that counts is Yao because he is a starter. And Yao doesnt do much in the clutch anyway.

    Stop blaming everything on injuries.
