Ok now It will be my long long post
It is always a bad feelin' when your favourite team lose. And especially when your team won 4 straight games before that. But NBA season is a tough and long season, you will win you will lose. I know we need wins but Utah is a good team. And I will say it again. We're gonna have the easiest month commin' up. Let's hope we will be able to win a lot of games and find our spot in the playoffs.
Golden State is a great team. They play NO DEFENSE but as Suns they are just to good offensivly, that's why they win that many games. I belive it will be a good chance to shut them up with our defense. I don't belive we can play that great offense (well maybe we will be able to also play uptempo with Yao out) but we can play defense. Of course McGrady and the rest of those guys need to take adventage that GS cannot defend. This is a shootin' team. If they do not make 3s they are done, they are nothing without 3s. So we just need to contest those shoots, contest and rebound the ball cause hell yes they are also a good reboundin' team. WHat's the worst they are the team that will beat you in 2-3 minutes of the game. It may be a tie game, but they just need to get that feelin', that moment. They need a few minutes to knock down several 3s in a row and that's how they play, how they played last meetin' agains us.
Here are some points that we need to do well cause we need to win.
- Stay agressive. This is the most important thing. Pass the ball, run, run run, find an open spot on the floor. We didin't do that against Jazz. Pas the ball for example on the post to Tracy and hell run, do not stay and watch what Tracy's gonna do. RUN !
- Get to the ft line but make them. 50%, under 50%? It cannot happen.
- Of course defense. Make them take tough shoots, rebound the ball don't give the 2nd chance opportunities cause it may kill us.
- Transition defense. Is key. Remember last mettin'? We played great for 3 quaters (without McGrady) and then they knocked down 7 3s in the forth, big part of them in transition.
- Control the paint but also make open outside shoots.
- Do not give up. These are very important games for us. I know it's gonna be a tough night but compete, fight.
- Put McGrady on Baron Davis. I remember last year JVG did it with T-Mac on Nash and it worked. McGrady is quick enough to stay with Baron and he's taller and stronger. Baron would love to post up against Rafer - missmatch. Just make Baron Davis work hard, put McGrady on him please.
- T-Mac : attack, attack, attack ! Stay agressive as the whole team.
- Take adventage of home court, it should be a nice thing for us to play here, not something like penalty.
Again, Rockets, T-Mac stay agressive, pass, run, pass run. Just move the ball and move your ass. We can win this game. I'm sure Novak will play a lot cause he can shoot. I know he sucks at defense and he cannot rebound but hell he is unbelivable shooter. I'd even like to see us runnin' some plays for him.
And Tracy do not dominate the ball, try to play off the ball, post up, something like that. Less pick and rolls.
Go Rockets !
BTW:
Will Yao play? I heard he won't.
VS. 
I hope Yao gives him a knee or hip check to permanently put him into retirement.
