Predict a loss. Portland will want this more.
Also when you hear post game comments from Yao about Rockets unable to execute the game plan at least 10-20 times in a game, shows me we are far from ready.
I would say every game we probably have 15 or 20 possessions that the play is ran to the wrong place, or when all five guys know the play there is only about 12 seconds left (on the shot clock). That’s our biggest problem right now. It (happens) too many times
And posts from Rick on Yao's minutes shows me he doesn't trust Deke at all and still no clue that we need Yao to be fresh in the 4th.
I learned my lesson. I have to get him out of there. I wanted to keep him on the floor with Gasol because of his size, at least he can fight him a little bit. I thought with the timeouts and it being a TV game that he’d be okay, but he got really tired in the fourth quarter. So when they went up ten I just felt that we’re going to go small and if we cut it down under six or something, we’d put him back in. Otherwise, I was going to save him for the Portland game.
I still can't believe it 10-20 plays not being executed properly. Lol and i thought it was motion offense with 0 set plays, i guess it was just the inability to run the play and thats why we look like chickens with our head cut off.
I blame that on Rick, Yao for not being vocal, Artest for iso, AB for not stepping up and controlling the ball.
Loss to portland if this continues and a 1st round exit no matter who we play.
