Here are some funny quotes that I found on the vast Internet: "NBA, where 1 for 12 bricks happen" "maybe they should get shaq to tutor them how to shoot FTs" "just hack-a-rockets" And this is my favorit: "We did one good thing," Detroit coach Flip Saunders said. "We defended very well at the free-throw line." Feel free to add your wits
Yao: "They might as well have fouled us that would have been the best defensive stratagy" (or somthing like that)
"They figured out how to defend us, just foul us, grab the rebound and come at us." I think (darn it I just read it too! LOL)
Steve covering his eyes while they shot Free throws was hilarious. I also loved Deke's facial expressions.
"Rockets suck at shooting free throws! They make Ben Wallace's free throw shooting look like Steve Nash's!"
pistons fans around us were chanting.. "uh..ohh..free..throws" same way rocket fans cheer.. "lets..goo..rockets" that was sad
definitely not funny if we would've lost that game.. and Yao ended up making the one he should have missed
He only "should have missed" it if he had made the first one. As it was you have to take the fact of a point over the chance of the shot clock.
he shoud've hit both......if you miss the 2nd, they grab the rebound and call time with .4 left they can stil catch and shoot........you make both, you're up 4, just let them shoot and even if they hit a 3, it takes longer than .8 for the ball to go in, you win anyway.
valid point. I just meant if you were going to go for the "Let the clock run" train of thought then the first one HAS to be made if not, one shot can lose you the game.
i was at the game and all i could think of was "nick the brick." i sincerely hope that was a one time thing.
Every guy on the team that missed free throws last night should have to shoot 100 for every one they missed.
I loved it when everybody cheer up, and deke was clapping when the 2nd free throw was in! (after missing the first 14 or 15)
Without a doubt, the best quote was when McGrady blamed the fans for the team's horrible free throw shooting. We really should start a "who/what can Tmac blame next?" thread. It's only a matter of time before he blames global warming, nuclear proliferation or the second shooter on the grassy knoll for the horrible play of this team.
Bill Worrell. Every missed free throw in Rockets history occurred because of his jinxing. Now go get him T-Mac!
