WEDNESDAY, 11/23/05 – It’s really difficult for me to get motivated to write game summaries these days. After watching Houston lose its fifth in a row Wednesday night against Phoenix 100-88, it’s tough to get motivated to write about the worst team in the Western Conference at 3-9.
Not only were the Rockets outscored, they were outshot (45% vs. 41% field goals), were killed from behind the 3-point line (14-7), out-assisted (33-17), turned the ball over more (15-8), out-stolen (10-4), and out-blocked (5-0).
Yao, who only scored 8 points and grabbed 8 rebounds, had the following to say:
“I can’t believe how we’re playing right now. We have a game plan and we know what we need to do and we’re not doing it. I’m a big part of that, too. Time’s running down. There are 70 games left but I think this is a very bad, bad stretch for us.”
