i was really feeling sad in the third quarter, don't know what to say, we had no ideas, alston didn't know what to do, thank god we win, with all the respect for them but lose to sixers and sonics in 1 week it's something horrible.

next time gotta send novak to get the free throws, after al thats why he is on the team.

He was practicin' them during that injury. But hell he carried us. Forget about those ft, of course I don't like it, he should work but what a 3, what a drive, hell what a WIN !

McGrady didn't look like the knee was botherin' him. Look how many drives he had. He's got his rythm, he should be so confident right now.

I hope he will start since next game

This was a win in spite of Adelman. Yao and T-Mac basically won the game by themselves. Adelman had several very bad moves today, leaving Head on Wally Scezerbiak, not having the weakside guy rotate to the big on the high pick and pop, and putting Yao in the high post repeatedly.

tmac surely provided the necessary poise to the rockets in crunch time. i believe the rest of the rockets feel much more poised with tmac ard. tmac can cruise for the 1st 3 quarter as long as he bring his game in the 4th and everything will be ok.

How in the hell did we manage to win?

Could this be the game that turns our season around?

Agree. Wally owned Luther, but you know they won and I'm happy especially after that type of game.

Something has to be done with the high PnR with Yao. He has to mix it up if they start getting hot from midrange, especially opposing bigs because they are slowfooted enough that somebody can come help if they try to drive it past Yao.

GRat game for McGrady of course that 1st ft was awful and he missed the 2nd intentionally. Great to see McGrady gettin' back into rythm.

Go ROCKETS!

OH god no.

Tracy was huge tonight but he gotta work on those freethrows. 1 for 6 at the charity stripe for a player of his caliber is just unacepptable. Still, we wouldn't have won thnis game with mac. Can't complain too much

Honoestly, our PNR defense is atrocious, and thats mainly because its rafer whos not strong or quick enough to defend the pnr. Yao is forced to help because rafer cant keep up.

This is OT, but against Boston tonight, the Raptors were 15-21 from the 3 pt line. WOW!

McTracy · Post #313 » by **McTracy** » Thu Jan 24, 2008 5:43 am

Just look at our % from the long range. We made abou 11 after makin' only 1 on Monday. But really, the defense sucked.

If Hayes hadn't blocked Durant at the end, we'd be looking at overtime.

Yao shades towards the side the ballhandler is dribbling to deny penetration, then his man (K. Thomas) just fades to the open spot, Ridnour passes him the ball, he gets an open 18 footer. I think we need to have the guy on the weakside rotate to Thomas, and then scramble the rest of the defense, because Yao is just not quick enough to get in penetration-deny position and then recover and run back to Thomas. This is why Thomas kept getting open shots.

This is a weakness of Yao, but it's not unique; remember Shaq ALWAYS had trouble defending the pick and roll and was swept twice by the Jazz who as we all know run that play to perfection, and it's the reason why Mike Bibby lit them up, because the hand-off play the Kings like to run is essentially a pick and roll and Bibby kept getting open for that 15 foot shot.
