Pre-season game #6: Houston v.s. Washington
We win again, but it was an ugly win, and JVG is not happy about it.

Quote:
That was horrific, it was abominable, it was unwatchable," Van Gundy said after the Rockets beat the Washington Wizards 75-71 Sunday night. Yao Ming scored 20 points in 24 minutes and Juwan Howard added 14 points as Houston improved to 5-1. Van Gundy has been warning for more than a week that the Rockets' pre-season record is deceiving - that the victories are masking serious deficiencies.
"We looked old tonight. Somehow, we've got to find some life to us," he said.

Quote:
His players are starting to agree. Tracy McGrady scored only two points on a pair of free throws and watched almost all of the second half from the bench.
"It wasn't fun to watch, I'll tell you," McGrady said. "We've still got a long way to go to get ourselves together."

Pretty bad game from T-Mac, but Stro and Head still looking pretty positive.
Think the reason why the team looks "old" is because of the starting backcourt JVG went with - Wesley and DA?? Get Skip in there! And Head may very well be our Ben Gordon this year, the guy is looking good during crunch time.

Re: Pre-season game #6: Houston v.s. Washington
I agree, i thiknk JVG is pushing Wesley a abit. The team did much better with Skip in the line-up. Did anyobdy see the game? who was pg? andersn? anyways we need to get wesley back into shape and skip back in the lineup. I think Juwan and Stro are gonna have to fight for that spot.

Re: Pre-season game #6: Houston v.s. Washington
Just saw the highlights, was definitely the Stro Show out there.
It'd be interesting to see who gets the nod to start opening night alongside Yao and T-Mac. Stro and Howard are both doing great, and seems like JVG still hasn't figured out the guard situation yet.

Re: Pre-season game #6: Houston v.s. Washington
Stro probably had the dunk of the preseason, check out the link below.
Highlights of the game:

Re: Pre-season game #6: Houston v.s. Washington
What does he expect, when there's like 12 people in the crowd, the Wizards aren't playing for real, and the starting lineup is all whacked. It's tough to take that seriously as a player.

i think we are in a situation where juwan gets the start, but they share the minutes evenly.
i havent seen any of the preseason game, but that first clip showed tmac in the post. he didnt get the ball on that play, but has tmac used his post game at all in the preseason?

Agree.
A TV channel here showed the taped game,some rockets players did play absent-mindedly,but i don't think it's a big problem.
