    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Determined as he is to not slash and burn through his postgame critiques this season, Rockets coach Jeff Van Gundy remained locked in his office for nearly an hour Sunday, perhaps searching for a way to slap some lipstick on this pig.

    The free throw defense was stout?

    The score didn't look as ugly as the game?

    The uniforms were a nice, shiny red?

    Actually, there was a bright spot if you looked long and hard enough. The Rockets rebounded well.

    But in many ways, the Rockets played as poorly as they had in Utah. The difference was that the Jazz were great that night. The Hornets were not, especially from the line where they allowed the Rockets to hang around in the game.

    There is no way to draw conclusions from three games, but the questions are now clear:

    Can the Rockets play well against another team playing well?

    When is it time to worry about Tracy McGrady, now shooting 34 percent from the field, 12.5 percent from the arc and 57.1 percent from the line?

    And how long will it take Bonzi Wells to get in sufficient shape?</div>

    If you take Yao's shoting percentage of 66% and you add it to Mcgrady's 34%, you have 100%.[​IMG]

    The Hornets game was definitely not a good example of what the Rockets are. Yao barely played in the first half, and T-Mac is still in what seems like a never-ending funk. When Yao and Mcgrady play to their fullest ability, the Rockets are one of the best teams.

    Haha evolidiot, that's true. TMac and Yao are shooting a combined percentage of 50%. [​IMG]
