ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Celtics 3/6/2012

It's always been 16 teams, how old are you to have "not followed the NBA as much as I used to..." Were you around before the NBA/ABA merger?

pdpatt Up 10 with 5:30 left in the 4th Quarter.. And end up losing. #letdown

Klow7 Gotta grind!! Not supposed to be easy

jordanchill43 #sheeshhhhhh...heading to Toronto

CBudinger Off to toronto, game tomrw. Must win!

 

been busy lately..

Damn, what happened? last time i checked, we were comfortably sitting at the 5/6th in the West. Now we are free falling and have lost FOUR in a row..OUCH..

 

I agree that Martin is probably not getting any better, but guys have improved significantly past the age of 30. Just out of curiosity, how old was Jason Terry when he went to Dallas? Seems like he had been in the league forever when he got there then became a very good player once he went to dallas. (honest question, no sarcasm)

I don't have specific stats, I'm just going based on the way we have played this year compared to last year and the beginning of this year. I realize the past 4 games don't back me up on this. But before the past for games we were 18-7 since the tough start.

 

Was at the game. What a letdown.

 

If you watch the recap on espn I'm on the top left of the screen <3

 

The Rockets were like an NFL team that has a lead late and runs extremely conservative vanilla plays and runs the ball to drain clock.

 

We're still in 8th seed... barely. Tomorrow is a must win

 

I said ONE of the reasons. Basketball used to be my favorite sport, until I got into Football and Baseball. Now those postseasons are ENTERTAINING. Guess watching sub .500 teams making the post season in the East was bleh. Just too many playoff seeds.

 

I find the NBA postseason on a whole more entertaining than both.

Yeah half the teams get in but it has been proved that a 8th seed can bea ta 1 seed so why get rid of it? It has happened a few times now.

Than in the 2nd round you get big time matchups most often than not and that is where the real stars shine.

 

The Rockets must have some of the streakiest players. One moment they are shooting well, then they will go on a long ass scoring drought, which usually happens at crucial moments during the game. This team is a joke!

 

Dint catch end of the game but good to hear Dalembert finished strong. What about Lowry and his 4-17 shooting with 6 turnovers?

 

He has been watching tape of Jeremy Lin

 

people called him a knucklehead but i miss his fire

 

Wow, was thinking the same thing haha!

 

57 rebounds to 38 rebounds, we should of won this game. We lose because we aren't experienced as the Celtics to finish games. They need to finish off the Raptors, or it will be 1 big mess before the trading deadline, if it isn't already.

 

honestly it was a terrible game but how many of u thought wed be 21-18 after starting 3-7 if we win the next 3 tor , nj , cleveland were back to lookin like a good team then a loss in okc trade deadline and then charlotte @ home not a bad sched after a 4gm losing streak!

 

Exactly how I feel! People on this board react crazy after a loss

 

"I will never be a fan of another team"

I would bet a year’s salary that that's a true statement. Ask the Oilers.


"I've turned into a fan of the Rockets more than a fan of basketball"

Thank you Lebron, Wade & Bosh and the NBA for let that crap happen.


And that, my good friends, is how the NBA will eventually lose me. Because no way will I ever put up with a league where best players get to pick and choose their team AND AT THE SAME TIME follow a team to the bowels of hell.

Sorry NBA, not going to happen.

 

and loses the game when it backfires. in other words, the dallas cowboys. lol
