The Rockets have officially imploded...

[Double-Up]

They're "talented" in the same way the sixers are talented

Andre Miller, Andre Iggy, Louis Williams, Thaddeus Young, Willie Green, mareece Speights, Elton Brand (when healthy and not a blackhole), Dalembert, Evans, Ivey... that's a lot of athleticism and talent.

So how come they can't put it together?

They're lacking a true superstar.

Sixers > Rockets though.

Like the Mavs are doing any better? The only difference is you've had more playoff success the past few years. Now your team is on the downhill too.

If T-Quit had Lebron's skills he woulodn't have such a personality and leadership

T-Quit's heart is broken beyond repair. his 2nd round virginity and injuries have permanently affected his psyche and basketball ability.

He's blown 3-1 lead, and 2-0 lead twice in playoffs, poor T-Quit's heart is broken , his confidence shattered.

But what allowed for his confidence to be broken in the first place was that he just isn't that good. he had one amazing year in '02-'03 and sharp declines ever since. his PER in '02-'03 was 31 (Lebronesque, infact), now its 16. But I know some dont like these stats

I fear the same for our beloved Mavs. Dirk's heart has been broken by bullshti whistles and bull shots... now if we enter the playoffs and fall behind 2-0, will our beloved Dirk check out mentally just as he did against the Warriors and Hornets?

But I agree, having T-Quit as the leader of the team is bad... his lack of confidence, his apathetic quitting psyche permeates through the entire roster. Would YOU want to be led into battle by a person who is 0fer in the first round? I wouldn't

But of course, Dirk > T-Quitter

Yeah, both Dirk and TMac are such ty players... They will both be FA's in 2010. They will both be desperate to win something. Which team is building around a big 3 in 2010, for another 3 to 5 years of championship shots? Which team could use a power forward who likes to shoot from the perimeter, and a good small forward? I wonder if these guys would be willing to come cheap?

reads like an all-star team doesn't it...I'm not sure about Tmac being a target, but I'm sure SA will take a LONG look at Dirk if he is available in 2010.

[Indazone]

T-Mac is a huge trade target in 2010 but not for what he wants to be coveted for. He is a huge expiring contract that is coming off the books. There will be a lot of teams after him just for that $20 mil/yr. Rockets can either trade him for a great player or just keep him until that $20 mil comes off the books.

God you're an idiot. No one "played the health card". We aren't playing like because we aren't healthy. We are playing the way we are because we've been consistently inconsistent with our line-ups because largely because of health (not saying it's the only reason). We can't build chemistry unless we all play together consistently. That requires us being healthy.

You have absolutely no basis to call this game a turning point of the season or a "season changer", simply because we have played zero games after this. What if we keep winning and losing just the way we have been throughout the rest of the season? This game is just a loss. You can't call something a season changer if you don't have the proof that the season has been changed. If we start seeing different results directly after this game, then you can call it a "season changer". Until then, you are talking out of your ass.

=hey Kaz, how many games did it take Kobe and Gasol to get it together? Amare, Nash, and Shaq? Kidd and Dirk? Iverson and Detroit?

Ignorance is to keep doing something when you know it won't work. Its not hard to tell in which direction a team is going even early on.

Read the Feign article, he clearly said the ROCKETS DO NOT NEED TO MAKE A TRADE early on. But even he is pressing towards it. I guarantee you Morey is going to make a major move.

[sook]

Rockets problem is their leaders in Tmac and Yao. Everyone knows Tmac mental issues. I can't stand to watch the guy play anymore. I feel as tho he's so lazy because all I see him do is launch 17 foot jumpshots on players, even if he has a height advantage on a particular or speed advantage. It just shows me that he is not a true winner and will not do whatever it takes to win. Sometimes it takes sacrificing your body in order to get some FT's when your team is on the wrong side of a run by the other team just to slow things down, but Tmac doesnt do that. I think he shoots the contested jumper too much because it looks good and draws oohs and ahhhs from ppl

Thats not true. If you're 28 and were one of the most explosive scorerers in the league just 3-4 yrs back it hurts.

I used to get mad at him. He tried giving something to the fans showing he does care and he got embarrased. Thats a major hit to T-Mac's confidence.

I'm not saying that we are going to get it together or that we aren't going in the wrong direction. I'm just saying that the season is not over and nothing is set in stone. We can make judgements and predictions based on how things have gone and how things appear to be going, but it's not accurate to assume anything is for sure at this point.

[The Franchise]

It's time to ship some mother ers out. Tmac and Atrest are the first to go.

[HarlemHeat37]

I feel for Yao..he's finally healthy, it looks like he has a great supporting cast, and everything implodes..he's a hard worker, he deserves better than this..

[Roxsfan]

lmao rockets. the rocketfans who were talking in the preseason like they were destined to win the le thanks to Ron Artest being the savior.

you pussy.

Meh, we'll see how they shape up down the stretch. They are ripe for trades though.

[lurker]

No matter how many times I see the clip, it's still just as sad.

[Yorae]

Uhm hey maybe it's time you give Scola back to us to unjinx things.

[Bandwagon Fan]

I would take the Mavs in a 7 game series on account of the fact that teams playing against T-Quitter in a 7 game series have a 100% win rate

lmao

Rofl at this idea.

[sook]

his inury might bring the team together, lately they have been playing like they hate each other...

[jack sommerset]

I thought this team was easily the 2nd best in the West when they got Artest.

Time to blow it up in HOuston. Trade Yao for a real center, not a fake stats pussy, trade Artest/T-Quitter for some real superstars/good wing players, and RELOAD!
