This season is NOT over yet. Stop talking like it is.

Keep telling yourself that.

 

I agree with you, but at the same time what are we supposed to talk about the last game and Tuesday's game?

All the games have pretty much gone the same way. Strategies haven't really changed, so there's not much to discuss there. No injuries to speak of. I don't know. I think people are just killing time with the off-season type threads.

 

one game at a time. I feel like Rockets have a new game plan or will play much better.

 

the Rockets have jumped out of a plan at 15,000 feet with no parachute...they're just waiting to hit the ground...

and while they're doing that we're posting up trade proposals and wishing that we had better players...something that Morey failed to do this year...

 

I'm looking at game 5 only. I can see where people are coming from after being 3-1, but it's not like we've been blown out every game.

I'll wait to see if we are eliminated or we show some heart and grit on game 5.

 

just leave....

 

We have the Jazz right where we want them. McGrady is pissed. Rafer will stick up for his boy. Our hustling forwards will continue to hustle. The Rockets will take game 5. Then they'll know the opportunity they'll have to tie it up in game 6. It'll be hard, but I think they should be able to pull it off. Game 7? Who knows.

All I want is to make as many teams suffer as possible in the wake of a Yao-less rockets season, and how sweet would it be to toss Utah and possible the Fakers to the curb? No one, no one can lie that we've been in "next season" mantra mode since Yao went down, despite the streak. I want other teams(and fans) to experience the same lows at our hands. GS is already experiencing that feeling far sooner than they expected.

But unless Landry and AB become absolute man-beasts for a while, the rockets will go down this year w/o divine intervention. And after that, then what? Well it's scouting time. What will we be looking for in the draft? Hmm, let's see. BPA is always the best plan, but preferably I think we could use a tall wingman. Another shot in the dark at pg wouldn't be a bad idea either, as well as nabbing a backup to Yao. Whoever we get I'm sure it'll come as some big surprise that no one really expected. I mean, 90% of the board wasn't expecting Brooks or Landry, and I expect that trend to continue. Regardless, that pick wont likely be a contributer and I wouldn't be surprised to see it traded away as proof of how useless the aforementioned player may be.

And then what? Time to get the roster in order. Head needs to be gotten rid of. He just doesn't cut the mustard and never has. Better to give his minutes to someone who may actually be useful in the playoffs someday. Trade McGrady? Quite possibly. He isn't getting any younger, and if some star starved team makes the right offer, it certainly makes sense to get some new blood in here that could perhaps run in RA's system more effectively. I could see Battier moved if the right deal came up, because as much as I value him, it's possible you could trade his intangibles for greater tangibles. Point guard needs an upgrade. Power forward is awesome now for the first time since forever, though it could use an upgrade if something decent came along. And I just don't see us getting away from Yao ever. But as he ages I do think they should really find a way to limit his minutes. Give him a Sabonis role.

All they need to do is surround him with the right players. But the question is, is the time for finding them running out? can we get those players in time? How many of those players do we already have, if any? Really? I think we have more than that. We'll have to wait and see if Morey believes the same this offseason fellow rocket fans. Or will he just be impotent again? He land MJ and SF after all .... coulda done better there, even though hindsight is something something. Kinda like with CD. OMG dude, so many ****ed up drafts and player evaluations. 2 words: Shandon Anderson. lol. and Walt Williams. Di d you know we could have had Hakeem Jordan AND Drexler?

And that we could have traded Cato for Marion? Of course there wa s that awesome KLeiza deal. ANd Brooks For Artest. Still not sure about that one but have to put somethign on there more recent. Go rockets. **** the JAzz.

 

as much as i'd like to believe you, i really doubt the Rox wanted to go down 3-1 in this series >_>

 

It's a rockets fan site


thats why people are talking about the season being over....fans tend to do that.

 

Fans have no heart. Ironically these fans are the same people who said t- mac has no heart and has given up the series.

O well, I guess if you're not famous you can be a hypocrite. Lets all criticize laker fans cause they are all fair weathered people. Lets give up the series and start making fun of our own players.

God sakes people, if you don't think the rockets will win, quit spreading it. Its morally wrong to insult and knock off hopes off other rocket players because you think you're living reality and you think they have no chance.

Honestly, lets just hope the posters here are nothing like the people in toyota centre. I mean if it was true, we'll be seeing our own fans throwing bottles at our own players.

 

I agree with you. We are still officially in the game, so we should not worry about anything else other than Game 5.

you know what, kudos to you for actually reading that. Even if partly. I just felt like rambling in a rambling thread. I actually do believe most of that, til I started getting too silly and off tangent at the end.

Bottom line. Offseason talk is year round. It's part of what makes the bbs interesting. And there isn't THAT much of it going on. What is happening right now is very typical of the bbs and a shout in the dark isn't going to do terribly much, but I guess I can see it being theraputic(don't feel like looking up the correct spelling, sorry).

 

How did our win not look good? You people must realize that only 4 TEAMS beat them in the regular season. We almost beat them twice in a row there. Both of those were good games on our part.

 

Nope Nice Rollin for some reason if we get upset here at Clutfans.net then we are not fans as some say ! I come here to vent and yes I get extremly angry when the Roxs lose. My days are ruined until the next game but theirs always someone who's like " Geez guys your not a fan cause your not always happy like me ! Go team Go Rockets ! " Its like those that say " that was a great game even though the Rockets lost ! " WTF ! If you lose its not great ! Yes if they play tough then we can be proud but sorry buddy I'm gonna be pissed and upset for a little while and when I come to this board I just love to read the funny posts and most of them are angry or sarcastic posts ! This is my anti-depression medication and I am so glad that so many of you make me laugh and cheer me up ! " So come on guys its a great game whether you win or lose !!!! "

 

I think it's horrible that the game is on NBATV... and not TNT.

There.

I got out my biggest frustration about the "season."

And I'll see you guys on the flip side talking about what we do in game 6.

 

you're right, the rockets season will be over on thursday.

 

way too many trolls, and way too few believers.
I say, at least don't start trolling until after tomorrow's game.
