Sounds to me like we've had trouble putting away teams for awhile now. It would be nice to build up a lead in the 4th quarter and finish strong.
The real problem in this game is still PG position. AB, in particular needs to improve his defense so as to give the Rox a legitimate chance in the playoffs. Don't be fooled by the FTs and dumb fouls. Those just might not happen in the playoffs too often. Weak defense in the PG position WILL BE exploited by opponent 100%. A nice win nontheless. Got a feeling that they might get a chance to prove that they CAN hold on to a 4th qtr lead against the Lakers.
You guys...it maybe ugly but it's not a choke if it's a win, ugly game maybe. Think about this way...would you rather be Denver right now? They've gotta fell crappier than us now.
This is a really important win for us to stay a top and tie breaker with Nuggets.. Rockets still have to work out if their big man have fouled out.. it look worried at the end of games..
We missed 15 free throws. Yao Ming and Luis Scola fouled out with several minutes left. Yet, we won. If we had made just 5 more FT's, or 10 more to hit our season average, the game would not have even been close. I'd say it was a beatdown.
according to Hoopchina,Yao Ming had a ear-bleeding during the postgame locker room interview. wow, that dumb 6th foul hurts his brain...or the lack of oxygen? anyway, a win is a win. the foul is stupid, that's all. please clutchfans "where you are as good as your last game" don't upgrade to clutchfans "where you are as good as your last play".
A win is a win.Taking a win from Denver is great,we have good feeling to prepare the Laker game. By the way,this win can minimize Yao's reasonless foul, otherwise all criticism will go to him.
Billups came close to making that layup. That would made things more difficult. Chuck was great but honestly I wish we Deke in there as well to block shots near the rim. That was lacking with Yao being out.
jesus..all these debbie downers b****ing about free throws...rockets are third best in the NBA in free throws. they had an off night. blame it on back to back, the altitude or whatever but b**** at something that they do consistently. everybody has a bad night
that reaction was appropriate Yao committed the dumbest foul in his career, even in CBA he never fouled like that probably
AB's defense was really bad!!!!!!!!!! He isnt a good pg! never! YAo's 2 fouls has something with AB 's desense.
Actually the team improved a lot in the fourth quarter.. before, it is all TMac or Yao..and blow out. Now they try to use every weapon, Yao, Ron, and Pick and Roll for Brooks actually the pick and roll for Brooks is pretty good but Brooks is not a good defensive player. All the other teammates have to learn how to protect Yao. It is as simple as: don't let your opponents rush into Yao. It will help Yao a lot in foul trouble.
So what? Did you make any mistake in your life? Critics are acceptable but staring at your colleague for 5 seconds is simply rude.
