Why is our defense so bad.....

[Guy986]

at the Ft line? We're tied with Detroit for 2nd worst in FT defense in the league. You'll think Toyota Center's so called depth perception problem would put us among the elites but thats not the case here. I think fans gotta wave those finger foams a little bit harder....

Our defense at the FT line is unacceptable.

[TMU]

I blame those lazy Houston fans.

[Guy986]

As Dreamshook would say


"What I wouldn't give for some Warriors fans.."

[MaxRider]

we used to be on the top
i missed jvg

Our FT defense was always among the elites when JVG was here.

if there's anything to this, its cuz there wasnt a big crowd at the games before 07/08 , rockets would have play better away then at homethroughout the season , then they started filling up the arena later , i think its when the team reached out to houston to watch the games, and the red rowdies. prolly most of the crowd, minus red rowdies, were those corporate pple or w/e, so now that there's no yao or tmac, no one's gonna watch the game. next year tho, a healthy squad can sell out most of the year .

or maybe its cuz everyone figured out how to make their fts in houston. they got different techniques and w/e . either wya, i cant wait to sleep tonight

I'd have thought Denver and Utah would have stuck out a bit more, assuming there's actually something to "tired legs" and whatnot.

[Teckon]

Blame morey! He did not renew the contract with Invisible Man to play FT defense!

[KiDdFrESh]

I think its cause all the fare weather errr uhhh...*cough* Yao fans in Houston aren't going to the games this year. Without Tracy or Yao playing we really dont have a ticket draw. Our attendance has to be down like at least 40%. Only time its sold out is if LAL, CLE, or BOS is in town.

[YaoZaii]

yea. we need JVG to come back to train the fans in defense.

[MaxRider]

yea. we need JVG to come back to train the fans in defense.

we only have 2 players playing from the jvg era
battier and hayes

[HTown_TMac]

he said the fans

[M4P]

I'm surprised Utah isn't last... as a matter of fact that's mind blowing.

[JSrose115]

the acquisition of kevin martin, and the loss of carl landry and joey dorsey.

[dunleavyjr]

i said this before and i'm saying it again: david andersen

david in the paint is an automatic 2 points giving up, if lucky. sometimes basket + foul.
aussie big man is soft.

rockets fans, is this too difficult to understand?

[tha_rock220]

Really, David Andersen and the fans are the explanation??? The culprit is Rick Adelman. When JVG was here and someone was going off on the Rockets Shane Battier was switched onto that guy and he was done. It worked on everyone from Ben Gordon to Ray Allen. Now if Aaron Brooks is getting burned Rick just sticks with him instead of switching Lowry or Battier onto the guy and making him cool off.

[M4P]

We have no one to intimidate jump shooters and slashers, and our wing players are also sissies.

[Bruteque]

We are missing our best FT defender: Yao.

We need to play David more. He's our best FT defender with Yao out.
