Game Thread Rockets against Pacers

[Transistor]

T up Jack!

Without Yao, nobody keeps them out of the paint

Ric is an idiot for not bringing deke in.

[HTown_TMac]

Jack deserved a T.

[tha_rock220]

Ric is idiot on how handled the rotation. When the game is a 6 point difference. He continues to watch our offense fail. Took him forever to bring Wafer back in. He still doesn't use Deke.

I agree. Ric's rotations are damn confusing.

Is Wafer the new Luther Head??? I remember Head always hit big shots.

He really doesn't like using deke for some reason

[YoungMoney23]

real bad game for us

Fran Blinebury said x-rays on Yao are negative and he is day to day.

[MaxRider]

good game
at least we know our role players will always play hard

[hackle]

loved our bench. thanks to the refs for ruining this game. ric should really figure out a way against pervert teams like the pacers.

[hackle]

How come the refs hate us so much? i dont remember them liking us any time in the basketball history. or am i just being a blind homer?

Nope you are pretty much dead on with that point. Refs hate us and the Suns for some reason. It's really bad. I guess b/c we're supposed to be good, Vegas puts good spreads on our games and then the refs manipulate it blatantly. Yao get's some stupid calls and some real foul calls. He never gets any benefit of the doubt calls. Kobe, Lebron get's ridiculous phantom calls. This is a Guard's league b/c stern is trying to bring back "Jordan". Enough said.

[moofs]

I didn't see the bad calls, but really didn't watch the game too closely. From the stats sheet, they only shot 9 more FTs than us, the killer was dumb turnovers and bad shooting, FTs were just the disparity that pushed those mistakes from unfortunate to a loss.

I missed this game until the final minute. Glad to hear Yao's just day to day.. Apparently the refs mistook TJ ford mistaken for lebron tonight, 12 freethrow attempts? That's disgusting. Aaron brooks, another bad shooting night but atleast he dropped some dimes this time. Scola, gotta hand it to this man, he steps up when we need him to and hes always so consistent.. Alston, looks like his hot shooting continues.. Battier... uhhh, I read this on CF and found this to be accurate, "That was the only thing he hit tonight" on his knee to knee collision with Yao.

[Miller4ever]

TJ Ford had 14 attempts.

I think that Yao going out was definitely the turning point. I really hope that this year Yao rips somebody's head off during the playoffs. Glad we got the win today, but I'm rooting for the Rockets in the West, like I always have since the Yao Ming era.

[fisterkev]

I missed this one totally, but W... T... F??? How bad is Yao?

We got an extra star (Artest) to give us 3, enough to weather a storm when one went down. Or maybe two... How the F#$% are we supposed to deal with 3 stars going down?

This is just getting stupid.
