Everytime someone has an open jumper it's bricked.

Petro is shooting 38% on the season, but somehow he manages to nail back to back 19 footers against us. What the hell is going on?

you know you are playing bad if you got a guy like petro hitting open jumpers

SEA is just shooting lights out from 18ft. I wonder if they can keep it up for another half.

swear to god if we lose this...

And why does Luis Scola suck so horribly at shooting FTs?! Does anyone notice the extremely awkward rotation he puts on the ball whenever he shoots it?

whats going on is scola's measley 2 points. what we need is consistency specially from a guy like him

You know what? We are playin' really bad. We are that bad against SOnics, they are good offensive team but we play NO DEFENSE. But we should have been down by 5 not 12. Refs just wanted that. They call every call for them, just every. It is frustrating. Really.

It needs to change, our game needs to change, we play no defense, we need to take to the ft line. But we cannot do anything about refs. They need to change their game cause we are losin' because of them.

I like Tracy's game, he looks ok, he's agressive, he wants to score, wants to play but hell just didn't get his calls which is sad as hell.

Come on Refs, come on Rockets! We need to win games like this. I mean Sonics are pretty good offensive team but hell we need to win.

behind by 9 pts. The sonics are killing the rockets with that play. Same spot.

The only good thing was McGrady's movement and overall feel on the floor was real good, but besides that, it was a horrible half. Didn't rebound, didn't play a lick of defense, and forced too many horrible shots.

This team is so damn inconsistent.

3rd qt should be good

Last game they ran out of fire, and we made our run in the 3rd quarter. However, we were playing decent offense last game. We look like hell out there man; I'm speechless.

You talk about the refs, literally every game. Whether they're good or not, our defense has been awful, and our offensive execution looks lost. We're not good, we're a bottom half tier of teams in this league.

Does Adelman not know what it means to CONTEST a jumper? Has he not taught our team to keep your hands in the air, but don't leave your feet? Why is Yao jumping when Collison pump fakes from 20 ft out?!? I simply don't understand it.

Teckon · Post #116 » by **Teckon** » Thu Jan 24, 2008 4:16 am

Need to rebound better especially if the other team is shooting lights out.

Even if we are a bottom half tier team we should not be losing to the Sonics.

We need to play defense, rebound, and give Yao the ball in the low post. Snapper Jones called Yao Shaq-like in the first quarter, and then the incompetent idiot Adelman keeps putting him in the high post. Ridiculous. I thought Adelman had changed his mind on how to use Yao, turns out he is still an incompetent idiot. My sig will stay there.

I know that. I know our defense has been awful, no switch, they are gettin' every shoot they want and they are makin' them. But on the other hand, how can we defend if every contact is a foul?

The only way we can win this game is if:

1. Seattle falls into a shooting slump. Right now they're shooting 60%; that's unacceptable.

2. We control the glass. Seattle has outrebounded us 20-14 thus far.

3. We make our FTs. Seattle is 11-14 from the line, and we are a poor 6-11.

BaYBaller · Post #120 » by **BaYBaller** » Thu Jan 24, 2008 4:20 am

Yeah Scola is in a funk for sure. He still hustles but his shot is gone.

I'm afraid that Adelman is going to put the starting lineup back out there after the half. There's no offense in that lineup, especially considering that Bonzi hasn't really been himself lately. He's taking a lot of outside jumpers and not crashing the boards. I wonder if his shoulder is still bothering him.

The rotation is going to be very tight too because they matchup very well with small rotations because their SG's are so big, meaning less minutes for Brooks and Head.
