Songaila is playing really well. Hitting shots, rebounding, playing good defense.

Very impressive.

Props to AB for his defense right there on Yao!!! Nice 3 by AJ as well. :clap:

Freaking sick defensive play by Blatche.

Then the outlet to Young who makes an in-control, smart pass to Jamison who nails a 3.

Beautiful basketball.

Nice sequence. Kickass defense by Andray and nice finish by Nick/Antawn.

Taking a rest I guess. Mason is playing decent.

perfect.. We can't buy a ****ing foul in the paint or get a loose ball. Do the same refs officiate all of our home games because it seems like we get screwed every damn home game.

I swear, sometimes this team is brilliant and sometimes like right now they play like they are the dumbest team in the NBA. It's really baffling. The lead was just 2 and within a matter of a few minutes it's 9. This happens far too often. :nonono:

Nice to see EJ finally going to the big line up with AB and BH which produced some results, only he didn't add the other players that were really needed for it to shine. I wish CB and AD where out there with them.

Line ups my friend. Line ups.

Glad to see Mason adding a nice drive move when he was in and AD wasn't. That's exactly what he needs to bring in that situation.

Looks like the new seating assignments are making a difference already.

We can take these guys if we line them up well.

BH was busting it inside early. The AB/BH line up will work if we put CB, AD and AJ out there with them.

It's really uncanny how badly we freak out when we are playing against better teams. So many unforced turnovers. Sick.

Seriously, I wish this talk of a lineup with Blatche and Haywood would just end. Please give it a rest. Its not happening and you're just beating a dead horse.

Try focusing on better things about this team than lineups. Like maybe how we're 4th in the East without our best player, much has to do with a very nice coaching job by Eddie this year.

gowiz999 · Post #94 » by **gowiz999** » Wed Jan 9, 2008 1:23 am

Caron, STOP FREAKING OUT!! JESUS, IS THAT 3 TURNOVERS IN THE FIRST 2 MINUTES??

I wish people like you would stop telling anyone who wants to post about this to stop.

Try either being a part of it or coming up with a better suggestion.

Love EJ if you want but don't try to tell others they have to.

Caron has been throughly dominated by Battier's defense.

So-far, EJ only uses tall-ball for just a few minutes at a stretch. I really fail to understand why EJ doesn't try some mis-match's that would favor us.
Aside from Yao, Houston had two small guard out there just waiting to be abused if EJ went inside/outside with AB, BTH, and Opech.

I have never seen Woodshacks offensive game look so polished.

This is freakn sweet. Lets feed him. He has been a huge advantage.

hands11 · Post #99 » by **hands11** » Wed Jan 9, 2008 1:30 am

Player of the game

Woodshack

Inspired play by the big guy.

Win or loss I don't care. This is one of those game were you see a player
find a new gear. He post moves have been smooth as can be.

Woodshacks best games are still ahead of him and that my friends is very
good thing for this franchise.

Id say we are about 50% as good as we can be with the talent we have.

I really hope Rockets fans now understand why we said what we said about Haywood's defensive abilities.

Maybe now they understand.
