Clutchfans Game Thread: Rockets @ Hawks 1/3/2009

Start Von Wafer,bench T-Slack.

Please win this one.It's a needed win.But I doubt we could pull ourself out of the anguish last night and come out big tonight to rout the Hawks.It would be close win or another loss.

Please!

 

Second!!!

Too bad I almost don't even care anymore. Its tough to love a team with this much dispassion... such a dumb coach... and such a bad point guard... don't EVEN let me get started with Tracy McLady.

 

If we play like last night it will be a never ending nightmare of Yao getting dunked on.
Not all Yao's fault, but the Hawks are a team that are not afraid to attack the basket.
With the piss poor defensive effort of last night, it could make Yao a poster boy tonight and that Moon dunk look like a lay-up drill, and tonight look like the Sprite Rising Stars Slam Dunk Challenge.

 

Let's see how rockets, as a team, responses. Basketball was not a one-person game, always, and will never be.

Guys, really, stop bashing any one for our losses, you know who is most hurt playing an embarrasing game? The players themsevles! Anyone who do plays basketball know, if you lose, you are the one who feels it the most. So stop throwing your negative emotions on this forum. If you are not mature enough to behave yourselves, then please, please, leave this forum

 

Please for the love of god...play good and win.

I predict that this one is going to get ugly. Either the Rockets are going to recover some measure of self respect and play like there is no tomorrow, OR they are going to decline further and get blown out by 20 or 30. Sadly, I am inclined to believe that option two is more likely. I hope the Rockets surprise me.

 

Rockets continue to not play well and will likely lose tonight. We're in for a long streak of mediocre play (so far lasting six games and I fully expect it to continue tonight).

We're going to finish the road trip 22-16 and out of the playoffs. After our home stand, we'll be 24-19 and on life support. I hope I'm wrong, but our team has lottery written all over it.

 

my hope is that:

Tracy and Luther play extremely well to boost their trade value, and

the team loses so that Morey and management feel pressured to make a move.

 

I'm starting to miss JVG. Loved the guy, don't really have any feelings for RA....if he was fired, I wouldn't miss him. Although, I don't think he's a bad coach.

Even when we played ugly ball, and it was boring and slow....we always had our DEFENSE......We don't have crap anymore.

 

Play with some effort. Defense will be there if effort is there.

Execute Rick's offense. Don't revert back to standing on the perimeter and watching isolations offense.



And even if we do everything perfect... we still may lose.

 

We are too old, the Hawks are too young. I expect them to wear us down by running the floor all night.

we need a good defensive showing. it all starts on defense. Yao needs to shove someone to the floor, and then kick him while he's down, just to let the Hawks know how this game is gonna be played from the begining.

 

please win

 

This one is going to be another loss.

 

mcgrady scores -20, yao -30, and artest jacks up 100 shots... all airballs. I have no faith anymore.

 

The Rockets should start Wafer. He may not be a good player, but at least he plays hard and with energy- something TMac doesn't do. Let's go Rockets! Pull this one out in Atlanta!

 

sadly TWO!

 

this will be philadephia XVII

 

Tonight might be a good night to start doing drugs.
