D-Mo missing the wide open look then not picking up the Buck at the other end

Rockets doing just enough to lose this game...missing FTs, dumb turnovers, etc. Hopefully they'll find a way to yank this one out of the fire.

Is this really happening? Are we losing to the Bucks? These A hole's shooting percentages were probably 30% lower when the play the Lakers.

Omer doing work on the glass tonight...20 boards. 105-99 Rockets, about 3:00 to go.

Not just bad, back breaking. Now we need them to spread around this lucky crap. But of course when the Lakers visit they'll lay down and lose by 45.

You get what you deserve when you **** around and commit terrible turnovers like the one at the end of the third quarter, never mind the sequence at the end.

Coaching helped lose this one. Delfino in at power forward for the last possession and he was easily over powered by Ilyasova for that rebound. Piss poor job.

Got to win one that they'd be expected to lose to make up for this one...three days rest, Bucks played last night. Pfft. This one is much less forgivable than the Wizards loss, imo.

This plus the Rockets seemed to drive the lane in search of the foul rather than in search of the bucket at the end. That's gutless to me.

Overall i liked what i saw out of d-mo. Robinson is a foul machine. Delfino should never play the 4 again.

like i said, we have some sure fire stinkers from time to time. Another coaching failure by mchale for not telling the players to stop ****ing slashing to the paint in crunch time to try and get fouls

Seems more and more likely that the thread title might be turning out to be a prophecy

I don't think so, but I also thought the Rockets would get to 6th, so maybe I overestimate them.

I think it is more likely they get to 7th than they go to 8th or 9th.

They have the easiest remaining schedule of all WC teams, including only 9 of their games against teams over .500.
Bonfired

The schedule is still fairly favorable...players adjusting to their new roles (D-Mo and Robinson especially) is going to take a little time. Losing Patterson and Morris has weakened the team in the short-term...they were decent complementary parts. I'd like to think that the trade will ultimately pay long-term dividends.

If this group can make a playoff appearance and acquit themselves well, I'll be satisfied for this season...I hope a 2nd bona fide star can be acquired to ride shotgun with Harden.

well see what happens tonight.... but i still have faith that we can make playoffs cause of the light schedule remaining

Love the idea of Brooks coming back to Houston. He can fill whatever role Toney Douglas left and when Beverly stuggles.

Toney Douglas' biggest role was coming in for Lin when he was stinking up the joint defensively. Brooks won't help there.

Meanwhile, we're in a tussle with Orlando...the Magic have won 4 games since Christmas.

I knew we'd be worse in the short term, but hopefully not so much worse that we miss the playoffs. Thank god for the easier schedule.

Big win. Absolutely needed to win the game to avoid a losing streak

Warriors lost (again) , and now we're technically tied with the Jazz.
