Down 30-16 in Phoenix and there's still three minutes left in the first.
Where's that world-class Rockets defense we keep hearing about?
I knew the Phoenix game would expose us without Yao in the Middle. Shaq is too much of a force to deal with. He opens up the floor for everyone else and forces defenses to double team him. If they do that, it opens up the floor for Nash, Barbosa, Stoudamire, and Hill. It's going to be murder trying to beat these guys at full strength and fully integrated and knowing how to play with each other. Spurs will have a tough time with these Suns now too.
Suns are looking fantastic. One of the best quarters of basketball we've played since Shaq arrived. I expect somewhat of a letdown in the 2nd quarter.
38-21 after one.
, Shaq's even hitting FTs (5-7).
its funny rockets couldn't matchup with Suns before cuz frontline was too big and slow. now rockets are too small.
funny suns are so good not taking into account houston played gs last night
rockets d let suns shoot 76% in first half
If the Suns hadn't gotten sloppy with the turnovers and allowed offensive rebounds, we could have closer to 90 points at the half, instead of 74.
Rockets aren't done yet.
Well, maybe now they are
suns got lucky playing rox on b2b after GSW and 4th game in 5 days. oh and amare 20/20 FTs.
Suns had a very good shooting %age in first half, everything was going in. Pretty hard to counter that.
Game will end 55% - 44%, with 10 pt Suns W.
Suns +20 FT pts
7-game win streak, with wins against San Antonio, Portland, Golden State, and Houston.
Bring on Boston and Detroit.
Refs sucked hard this game. Couldn't get a foul call for anything until the final minute. Amare had 20 FT attempts (and made all of them). Biased refs.
Hey, but the Rockets went 2-3 in week. Not bad (five games in seven nights). They did not practice all week.
I bet if the Rockets had played Boston or Phoenix somewhere in that 22-game schedule, they would have never won 22 straight.
Rockets are being exposed.
Excuses pouring in from Rockets fans:
1. Biased refs.
2. "Amare is the new Dwyane Wade."
3. Back-to-back
The Rockets got dominated. The Suns had 13 more FT attempts, the Rockets had 29 more FG attempts, and Houston still couldn't get it done.
McGrady went 11-for-31? Hoop getting smaller there? No more jump shooting to carry you anymore. Goodbye Houston.
The Suns just made the FTs that were given to them. I can't help that the Rockets could only make 18... especially T-Mac missing 2 at a critical point.
Posted this in the wrong thread.....
Shaq had a better free throw percentage than T-Mac tonight.
Of course this comes from a Suns fan. Any other fan who watched the game would know the Suns got easy foul calls. Amare almost had as much as the entire Rockets team.
Spursdynasty, why are you here? The Rockets did play the Celtics, but lost to them. A win would have extended the streak. The Rockets are also tied with Phoenix for the season.
Actually, Phoenix is up 2-1 in the season series.
What ?
T-Mac must retire.
Now.
Shaq Owns Anyonde On The Sorry Rockets The Rockets Have No Talent On There Team I'm Sorry But Tracy Mcgrady Is The Worst Player In The Nba He Airballs His Shots Half The Time Cant Make Crucial Fth's Is A Ball Hog Talk About A Joke Lmao So Pathatic I Hope You Enjoyed Your Lame 22 Game Winning Streak Because That Means Nothing Consdering You Were Playing Crappy Teams
^^You're and idiot! Only half the league is above .500 anyway, so its not like the Rockets were going to play everyone above .500 during the streak. Out of 22-games, they played 10 teams above .500. Not bad at all.
T-Mac is sucking hard on his free throws. He needs to back it up some and not stay on the line so much.
The Rockets would have been toast without YAO in the playoffs anyway.
22 in a row was amazing but the Rockets are headed back down to Earth now.
