ClutchFans Game Thread: Jazz @ Rockets 4/1/2007

Rafer, please pass the ball all the time in clutch time, especially trailed by 2, not 3.

 

I consulted "The Prophecy" and he says that Rockets will regain composure and pass Utah and Dallas in playoffs, but fall against Phoenix.

We have a decent bench.....if we make sure that Yao or Tmac is always on the floor with pieces that match.

JVG doesn't trust them, that is the problem......JVG really needs to loosen up a bit, his myopia is going to cost this team in the long run.

DD

 

rafer should not even be in the game....he is a scoring liability

 

Will this be a good lost that could be a reminder to the players that they need work really hard to extend to next round? Especially for Tracy? I'm fine with Yao, Chuck, Battier and even alston.

 

Will Head be ready for any of the upcoming games?

 

and you knock down the freethrows if you're an NBA player

 

Anyone know where I can buy a Yao voodoo doll?

It is going to be a brutal series.

 

First of all, he was not wide open at all. A defender was coming on him quickly, while Yao was down low with only one guy defending him.
Secondly, of course Situation 2 is even worse. What's wrong with saying he sucks if that happened?

 

noone in here has said WTF, SHOOT THE DAMN BALL

how about other scenarios suchas pass the bal to tmac and drive, or pass the ball to yao for a pretty hook shot. the options are ENDLESS

 

I think we need to lift up the Rafer hating!

 

What upsets most is not we lost the game but Tmac' performance. This game is just like a playoff game, but TMac is not in the mode of playoff at all.

 

I still think we have an excellent chance to beat the Jazz with or without home court. I know people have been saying that home court is an advantage, but I have never felt that way since we have moved into the Toyota Center. The crowd seemed dead watching on TV. Not that many people wearing red and empty seats in the lower bowl. I feel the Rockets have just as much of a chance on the road. The venue does not seem to give us the advantage as the Compaq Center.

 

or rafer drive the ball

 

why does he shoot so many threes? can he drive it in every now and then?

 

If Rafer would've made that 3 to put us up by 1, everyone here'd either be kissing his ass or still complaining about Rafer. Poor guy seriously can't win.

 

TMac feared to take on resposibility at clutch time this season.

 

Your team is down by 2 in a must-win game. You're not even close to be the number one shooting option, your shot has been off all night, and you're not a good shooter anyway. There is 10 seconds left in the game and you get the ball behind the 3 point line. What do you do ?

I still can't get over that shot....

 

and thats the problem

 

That's like saying if Rafer shot 45%, we'd all be in love with him. OF COURSE WE WOULD.

Problem is he doesn't.

But still, blame has to be spread around. Myself, I'm crucifying Mac, JVG and Rafer for this, but HOW THE HELL can you not attack a guy who clanks that kind of shot.
