    Tonight was one of the most games for the Rocks this entire season. They couldn't do anything. One night after Steve and Cat combine for 17asts, they total ZERO tonight. A pathetic showing on both sides of the ball.

    EVERYBODY had a bad game. There will be games like this where the other team is shooting lights out, and the rockets shoot like sh*t. You have to live with these games. This or that Boston game would top my list as the worst games for the rockets this year.

    Also, hard to get alot of assists when you shoot the way the rockets did tonight. No b****ing from me about this loss. Heat deserved it. When Anthony Carter and Bruce bowen are hitting their shots you know you're screwed.

    When our gameplan is only shooting 3's and we are missing we are going to lose. Miami shot a lot of 10-15's and were hitting them. When your 2-15 on 3's its time to stop shooting them. Walt and Bull were totally useless tonight.

    There were a few plays the Rockets were killed on, on the defensive end. Like the baseline J Mason keep getting and the free jumpshot Eddie Jones got off the pick. I am not saying Rudy is a bad coach, but good coaches make in game changes. It was just one of those nights were the Rockets couldn't hit anything.

    Miami had a good defensive scheme and exploited the rockets. They were forced into shooting those 3's, and if they went inside they had minimal success as well. Dont try to look for little reasons for this loss. When the rockets shoot like crap, and the other team shoots lights out, you lose.

    0 assists!!

    that is simply amazing. who can explain that? i'm going to lick my wounds for the rest of the night. anyone want to talk about what Riley's defense did and what we didn't do (aside from the obvious--miss all our threes), this is a good game to learn from.

    a big sigh....this is the type of game that makes you really appreciate Clutch. Can you believe he is typing up the recap right now?

    cheers to Clutch!

    With the Boston game, the Rockets at least tried to make a run. Their shots just didn't fall. This game was just strange. It seemed that the Rockets didn't really care. I guess there are a few games like this every season. I just feel that the Rockets really need to start that winning streak soon. They have the Clips up next, and I am confident that the Rockets will beat them. Then there is almost a guaranteed Spur loss. Hopefully, the Rockets can beat the Knicks in Houston, after winning such a great game at MSG. Then, the schedule is easy. Still, this was a game the Rockets were supposed to win. They didn't just lose, they were destroyed. I just don't know what to think. One day, the Rockets will dazzle you with their skill, the next, well, you saw the game. I blame no one for this loss. The Rockets just sucked. They were simply bad in every single way. Thats it.

    come on...give it up for Clutch!

    This was easily the worst game of the year for writing a recap. I still don't know how he does it.

    Nothing is guaranteed.

    As bad as the loss to Boston was (and it was bad), this a** kicking was the worst this year. Hopefully we dont have too many more like this. These kind of losses suck big time.
