dont waste your time dont watch it

the game had a playoff feeling at the start of the game ,,, the refs quickly change that making alot of bad calls both ways ,,, it was a close game throughout the first 3 quarters mid way in the 4th the rockets gave up and the spurs went on a 15 -0 run something like that,,rockets tried to react late but it was too late


to me this game was won by the coaching stuff

you can tell the spurs watch video on the rockets ,,they did not allowed terry to have wide open threes ,,every time harden made his euro step someone from the spurs was ready to meet him ,,,the hack a dorsey and howard work really well for them

in the other hand the rockets coaching stuff play the spurs just like they play every other opponent-mchale sucks

Meh. Team is frustrating to watch. Ariza can't hit the broadside of the barn, Terry looking very mediocre offensively and suspect defensively. Dorsey shoots 1-4 from the FT line and INCREASES his FT% for the year. Why does he even get minutes?

Canaan rots on the bench, D-Mo gets a whopping 25 minutes and when he's playing instead of getting consistent post-ups we choose Dwight who turns the ball over 1/3 times. Though in this game he wasn't horrible in the paint, I'd rather see him focus on offensive rebounds, alley-oops, and PNR rather than taking away touches from others. In fact, there was a play I loved where D-Mo drew 2 guys down low, missed the shot (which he'd make over 50% of the time anyway) but Dwight was there for the easy follow. D-Mo is a better post-up option and Dwight is a superior offensive rebounder/alley-oop choice so I am confused why this isn't taken advantage of more often.

I guess the only thing I agree with is Papa-brick-a-lou out of the rotation and more minutes to Brewer.

Team just added major new parts on the fly... expect it to be rocky for a minute.

I actually really like Papa, though he needs a LOT of shooting practice.
Dorsey should never see the court. I'm going to miss Black, if only because he kept Dorsey away.
Terry and Ariza would probably hit better if they weren't playing so many minutes.
Canaan and Dmo each need to be on the court 25+, imo.
Basically, I agree.

I agree Dwight should post up less and just clean up around the rim when dmo is posting up. McHale should let them play to their strengths. Also, we need to post up Smith so he can take better shots. If we don't post him up, he will shoot long 2s. We need Isiah to relieve some minutes for Terry to be fresh. Also, Ariza was suppose to play less minutes once Brewer arrived, but he played 36min last nite.

I like Papa too. He is a decent ball handler and has a great BBIQ. But his shot is horrible at the moment so that's something he needs to practice.

D-Mo was having lots of great games when the Rockets were rolling, even with all the injuries, then Dwight comes back and suddenly he's forgotten? Canaan was playing great in Beverley's absence, Bev he returns and now he's totally disappeared? No idea what McHale is thinking these days.
