ClutchFans Game Thread: Nuggets @ Rockets 11/24/2007

anyone know what happened to bonzi? was it family problems? cuz he looked depressed over the last few games (which he did really bad)
anyway, so Rick replaced francis over bonzi and kirk over head, so i think EITHER francis wont play, or kirk won't play next game and head will be at the end of the bench

 

Bonzi doesn't need to start, you need at least one ball mover intangible guy in there.Shane will move the ball, he will defer and guard the best perimeter player.Plus shane can spot up and shoot the long ball which we need to spread the floor for mac and yao.

 

Logically, there's no way why Francis wouldn't play after bonzi returns. Bonzi will replace kirk, who was essentially the backup for bonzi. Head won't be playing at all.

 

Fixed it for you.

 

What?!?

The team won 51 games and pushed a talented Mavs team to 7 that year. It likely would have been a first round win if they had their 3rd top scorer, Juwon Howard, in the series. In other words, they won 1 game less than last year when Yao was constantly force fed the ball, and got just as far in the playoffs. In fact, every single game they started off force feeding Yao and it put the team in a hole at halftime every game. Who picked the Rockets up after halftime in game 1, 2, 5 and 7? #1, not #11.

The team still revolves around T-Mac and his abilities. Adelman is not ruining Yao...he is still getting PLENTY of scoring abilities. But the offense can't be one where they swing ball to wing, see Yao getting fronted, wait another 10 seconds for him to repost and finally get the ball, and then only 5 seconds for him to make his move or pass. It kills any offensive flow. And while I do not feel he is meant for the high post and feel that Adelman is forcing that too much on Yao, there have been flashes of it being a very effective second option for Yao to work from.

 

LOL. 17 pages of bickering after we schooled Denver.

NBA season is a 82-game marathon. Aren't we just overreacting a bit?

Personally, I'd re-sign JVG for another 4-years but I am excited about what Adelman can do with our lackluster offense.

IMHO, this year's team has potential to go a long way if our two all-stars can stay healthy. Go Rockets.

 

Adelman has defied logic in setting rotation thus far. Just because you and I want Steve to play won't matter two sh!ts to Rick.

 

I wonder during would point would management i.e. GM, owner step up and talk with a coach if the team aren't being run right. Sometimes, coaches make really bad decision.

 

We may be at that point now.

 

couldn't agree more. Pressure is good for the team and the player.

 

Houston was always finding a team to totally beat to stop slide and unfortunately Denver give us a chance and we are very glad to accept it...

 

Tracy can be just as good as kobe if not better if he decme alot aggressive off the dribble. he settels for way to many jumpers. see the nuggets game?. when he attacks the rim relentlessly, noonehen him. easily the most devestating scorer in the league.

Tracy has to be the most frustrating player to watch and support

 

Kobe went for 7-21 tonight. tracy went for 13-23. if tracy the rim more often then not,he would be better then kobe. trac>kobe talent.
