ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Pacers 2/11/2005

This shows how good a team is when they are on the road, give up a 15 pt. lead, with the crowd and momentum against them; and they find a way to pull it out. Especailly since Yao or YMac was really a factor on offense in the second-half.

We HAVE TO figure out how to close teams out though. It's nice to get 15+ pts. ahead against opponents, but they just let thier guard down and let them get back in it. They need to learn how to put thier foot right on thier opponents' throats.

Yao had another great half, but they have to find a way to keep him going when he is, well, going. I know team are going to try anything to stop him, but they really need to try to keep him in the offensive flow somehow.

I hate to bring up negatives because this was another in the long line of very good wins. It's nice to feel confident about this team going into every game now.

Go Rox! Keep it going!

 

let yao and deke play together please

 

Trade proposal? I must have missed that, or "ignored it".

Edit: actually I don't even remember why he's on there in the first place, taken off now.

 

Dish Network had the Fox Midwest broadcast on. The announcers were pretty impartial. There was no obvious favoritism. I thought Worrell and Van Chancellor had the game off until I saw the camera pan the table with Gene Peterson. Both of them were there doing the game.

 

It's amazing. Sura is coming close to a triple double just about every game and you still got people complaining about him.

 

Yeah baby!!! 6 in row!!! How sweet it is!!

T-mac had a terrible game and we couldn't get Yao the ball and we still beat Indiana on the road. That's what I'm talking about.

 

Dang. My attempt at wit goes over yet another head.

 

I think most ROCKET fans have for a while. And, he annoyingly posted that proposal once a week. Of course, he doesn't have Rudy in LA as a scapegoat for his idea anymore.

 

Agree. Neither the players nor JVG has any clue on what we are gonna do on offense. Guys are just playing by instinct.

On a side note, after putting Yao on the ignore list, Bobby is gradually putting TMac also on that list. The good thing is that it causes havoc among the defenders since they are not expecting him to make those moves or take those tough shots.

 

Oh man sooooo close .

 

only way to "keep Yao going" is for Yao to keep is ass in the game. He needs to stop picking up terrible fouls. Also, the perimeter guys need to try to keep their guys from driving right into Yao. He can't erase defensive mistakes as well as Dream. Yao was dominant on the offensive side, but he screws himself by getting into fouls trouble.

BTW, Great win -- love this team.

 

Wit doesn't work well on the internet for some reason.

 

the 2nd and third q 's offsense impress me . pass pass pass dang,pass pass passs pass dang.I cannot even remeber their miss a single shot.Seriously, rox may win championship this year,their offsense just beautifully smooth.
if u watch the game, u got to know their confidence. when I was nerverous in last 5 minus yao ming is laughing.

 

the best way to keep yao's ass in the game is bring back Cato.

if only MoT could bring us a defensive power in the pf position.

 

I feel that I have not seen him posting that annoying proposal for over a year.

 

What a ugly game !

 

Great win. J'Oneal is overrated IMO

 

Only if they can bring in a bruising 4 to protect Yao. Otherwise, the opposing teams will do whatever to use the quick guards to get Yao into foul trouble and I am not sure how we can solve the problem without a trade.

 

Well, bringing back Cato is not an option

MoT has never played defense

Both unrealistic solutions, but you are correct, if only . . .

I think Yao will learn eventually -- he's get it

 

3rd quarter
he's in the game for like 8 mins
and he got one shot for off reb
