"8 consecutive misses by the Houston Rockets"

I swear, the 4th quarter since 2002 has just been awful. They can't score once crunch time hits.

Think I just saw 6 missed layups by Scola in the last 2 minutes

Went to sleep during the second half last night, but typically the problem is that we get away from motion and set plays and do more ISO stuff... still the case? Or just missed open looks?

They moved my tutoring session from 7-10 pm to 10pm-1am. I had to leave while they were still doing the ring ceremony. What the heck happened to our offense in the 4th?

TONS of missed layups

yes. that was most of the problem. we did miss several open layups and easy shots tho also

In three consecutive possessions Courtney Lee and Kevin Martin took about 12 seconds total to heave up three's without even trying to run the offense.

We gotta get Lowry back.

Something to watch for is that I noticed in what I saw is that the Lakers seemed a little quick and eager to foul Yao when he got the ball in the block before he really had a chance to take a shot. This is something the Rockets need to watch out for since the league knows about Yao's 24 minute a night limit. Because it is such a strict limit playing him on the front end of quarters makes very little sense to me. Let the defense get in or much closer to the penalty and teams will start easing up on Yao and his 90% FT shooting percentage when he's in.

when the offense bogged down last night they did stop running the offense. it also seemed like they stopped running as much.

this team might not be able to let off the gas to keep the offense going. they look best when they play fast

No defense
