Losing to the Bucks. I feel you man. Then again, no Ridnour, Redd and Bogut. That sucks.
All I can say is...WOW!! Oh yea, he only scored 3 points the whole game. If this guy keeps declining at this rate he'll be a $20mil role player by next season.

How did Artest feel about it? He's loving it!!

Bucks have beaten all Texas teams this year.
That was a half assed effort, he can jump higher than that!
Man, that was painful to watch. Never mind the horrific finish, he even looked like he was running gingerly on the fast break.
Is T-Mac on drugs or something? That was painfully slow the entire play.
WOW there were 4 teams i respected to start the season ... Rockets, Hornets spurs and Celts ...and then there were two ... Spurs and Celts only things that besides health isues that will deny the Lakers another le
Stick a fork in the ROX that goose is cooked ....
Related note: I admitted the Rox made me nervous but figured health would be their undoing an to some extent it has ...but realy what has caught me by surpriseis how BAD the chemistry is ...it's funny guys like JVG (homer pick maybe?) keep tossing the Rockets in the le talk but I NEVER though that I just thought they may be dangerous ESPECIALLY in a 1st round series BECAUSE they will fight like mad to FINALLY get out ...
NOW I would love to play these guys they are the new Nuggs ...I think the Nuggs if they get the right matchup go further ...
He should be a 20 million dollar role player this season and we should start the following.
Brooks guard
Von Wafer sg
Yao Center
Scola Power Forward
Battier Small Forward.
Artest and T-Mac should come off the bench.
You could tell something is wrong with his legs, ran down the court slow and barely even jumped.
We need to put speed and our best shooters on the floor. T-Mac and Artest dont give us that
hes learning from yao

You could see him laboring. Why did he even try dunking? And, a semi-reverse dunk at that? Everyone understands his knee is a wreck. And, if he missed a dunk trying to yam it, that's one thing. But why was he even trying to dunk it the way he could hardly even run?
Or play him until the playoffs, and even if he's relatively, sit him for the playoffs.
lol@ the announcers blaming his knee for not being able to dunk it
why didn't he just lay it up then?
Mac did that to show people he's still "got it"....too bad he "don't got it no more"
he was trying to raise his trade value and failed
i say sit him till the 2nd round of the playoffs
I wouldnt count out the Rockets JUST yet.... they have like a 67% win rate against good teams, but are ty against sub .500 teams.
The Rockets get up to play the really good teams and lose their focus against the crappy teams. T-Mac especially is horrid against bad teams as is Artest. I think that T-Mac needs to get his knee fully healthy if he even can which means get out of the lineup and rehab until right before the playoffs. I think T-Mac will be ok physically after this next summer but it's that knee surgery that is screwing him up. Battier is also a step slow from knee surgery and Alston got his knee scraped too but seems he is ok. This is why I think Francis can still play but he needs a full season off to make it back.
Rest Artest and T-Mac so they will be strong and healthy come playoff time. Bring them back about 2-3 weeks before the playoffs start to get them back into the groove.
I think he's the first player to ever miss a dunk. I'm not sure, though.
The best missed dunk I saw was dominique wilkins in an allstar game on a breakway. He tried to do a windmill and hit the back of the rim almost putting the ball into the rafters at halfcourt.
you're telling me a 6'9" player who has shown us some of the nastiest dunks we've ever seen can't even jump on an easy dunk?
Thats common sense, he is seriously injured, you can't help but feel bad for the guy, his body has betrayed him.
