<div class="quote_poster">Quoting drm2dnk:</div><div class="quote_post">They won 16 straight at their home against Rockets. Even a slight Linger of hope is destroyed after seeing that record. Those who said Rocks would win would be highly delusional or are newbies. You could see it's over when Robert Horry the 38 year old is outplaying Stromile Swift and making jumpers. Tmac was still good even though he didn't use his all star ability of driving to the hoop much. Maybe because he didn't want to risk his back..the main problems are the role players. Wouldn't name any names because some of the fans might be sensitive in this G rated forum.</div> Man I don't likle how tough our schedule was, but after picking up 1/2 wins against Indiana/Dallas, I believe we will win amny games in a row and go on a lot of spurts like last year. Last year our November Schedule was easy. This yeae it was hard. At least we got a lot of tough games over with.
This feels just like last year. The Rockets start off slow and get themselves in a hole, and if TMac can't pull off something astonishing at the end we have no chance. The offensive chemistry is horrible. JVG has never been even a good offensive coach on any team he has ran, but it is more than that right now. D.A. has looked horrible so far, and there is no plays that I have seen run to get him a good shot. D.Wesley keeps shooting 3's and bricking, he has got to take a step or two in and shoot, I only saw him do that once last night and he hit. Alston has to penetrate every time down the floor, which he has been doing since his shot isn't there. DA and Wesley should do the same. Early on the O has got to be more than give it to TMac or Yao and let them go 1-1, and if they cant get it off, everybody for themselves.
Well another dissappointing victory, and we seem to be tied with the Kings at a 3-5 record. Sigh, our backcourt is looking extremely bad right now, and I'm wondering how well we could have done if not for Bobby Sura and TMac's injury. I wonder if we could have done better with Mike James, who had two 30+ point games...but then again none of those efforts ever lead to victory. This is extremely frustrating, just like last year when we started at a 6-11 record.
