Houston is on my blacklist from now on

[The_Kid]

I can't stand how these guys play. Tracy McGrady and Rafer Alston continue to chuck up 3s even when they have the biggest giant on the planet camping out in the lane. Tracy McGrady is the most overrated "star" in the league and even Yao Ming isn't THAT great. He doesn't even average a double-double and he's 7'6" for crying out loud. All he does is shoot fadeaways anyways. For a guy that big, just go to the basket and dunk the ball. Artest hasn't done anything to change this team and Rafer Alston is just a street baller. He doesn't even belong in the NBA. They are getting blown out of the water by Toronto and ALMOST blew a double digit lead against Milwaukee at home the other day. This team is not getting out of the 1st round this year or any other year as long as McGrady is still there. This is a rant but I don't care. I am not taking Houston for the rest of the year.

Black lists are for people who don't want money. Is that the only way people quit gambling, eventually blacklisting every team in every sport?

[ManBearPig]

im feeling frustrated with them too. I took HOU in a teaser (so not a huge amt of $$$). All they have to do is cover -1. They are making TOR look like where houston is supposed to be and houston where they're supposed to be. I passed on taking ATL, BOS, CLE in there place and now I'm kickin myself.

horrible display of basketball by Houston

[Freddy]

well they are so typical. It is known that they are horrible out of three pointers but they still shooting around. I had lean on toronto +5.5 but I skipped because Oneal was out. I bored to see that pathetic houston play. Tmac is tmac but God finally someone to sub him in bench, the names doesnt make the wins always.

[diogee]

Took them 2nd half thinking their shooting had to improve along with Alston/Tmac showing up and Tor not shooting lights out...wrong again.

Man, I've been stopped playing Houston. I don't like how the coach is using Yao Ming. I have seen several Houston games where Yao Ming has like a good 7 or 8 inches over his opponent and the coach fails to get his players to give Yao the ball in the paint. It is sickening. I watched Houston play Memphis earlier this year and Yao didn't even have double digit rebounds if I remember clearly. The coach kept taking him out like every 5 minutes and he was used very poorly in that game. I don't like how the coach, Rick Adelman, is using Yao or his whole team. They have size advantage, defensive players, offensive players but they're being used improperly. Houston coach gets a fat F....

you hate them because you lost $ on them tonight. i feel the same way whenever i bet on the nuggets ans they lose. its so frustrating to watch them as they play absolutely no defense but when they win, i love em.

just vent tonight and hit it again tomorrow

...hou looks pretty good tomorrow night if your pain heals

[Inv1ctus]

Haha Houston got destroyed, oh boy what a poor shooting, I was pretty convinced they were going to display a much better basketball but now I hope they're at least starting to consider about some trades. Adelman should force Alston, T-Mac, Brooks etc to shoot around after every practice for as long as they don't start shooting over 40% in the games, this was pathetic. And they've turned over the ball 22x. But all this will probably make me wanna bet on them even more, cause the only way from here is up and bookies should drop their lines in future games.

[I LUV (.) (.)]

guys roll with the magic,celtics,and cavs the rest of the way.It should be like 80% the rst of the way.

[NBA Hero]

they sucks for a long time already.... and keeps on being.

hard to predict when they will get out of their slump

[Jofish83]

The past 6 games Houston was 0-6 ATS they should start covering and winning soon. They just got to come together like last years 22 game win-streak.

[NBA Hero]

maybe after the all star or when they put tmac on the inactive list. just for the meantime

[natelli1]

they still dont have an identity i feel .. one night its all defense another its offense .. they never play great on both sides of the ball .. but they will get it going sooner-or-later and they will be there at the end of the year

Houston might miss the playoffs, 9 teams in the run for 8 spots. Loooks like Portland, Utah or Houston will miss out

Even if they do make the playoffs, they're an automatic 1st round exit. McGrady is already starting to break down and Yao Ming has yet to miss substantial time due to some injury (which will happen sooner or later).
