    ...after a loss.

    Eventually, I will amalgamate the reponses into a compendium. Please number in sequential order for ease of reading. I'll start it off:

    1. "We weren't getting the calls we usually get"

    2. "We just didn't match their intensity tonight"

    Ahh, thanks smoothie! Allow me to assist though...

    3. "Too many TO's"

    4. "Offence never got going"

    5. "Yao didn't touch the ball enough"


    And just to clarify - cliches should either be direct quotes or paraphrased from a Rockets player, coach, or front office member.

    Isn't THE classic line " We were getting the shots, they just weren't falling tonight?"

    "We knew what we had to do, we just didn't get it done."

    My favorite:

    "We have to be consistent. We play great one game and then bad the next. You can't be inconsistent. We have to bring it every night."

    (subtext) "Even though it doesn't matter, ain't no one getting traded, least of all Steve, ha ha! Where's my Ludacris CD? Hey Yao! Gimme back my Ludacris CD!"

    Thank you both :)

    7. "It wasn't what they really did defensively, we just didn't make our shots"

    8. "We knew what we had to do, we just didn't get it done."

    9. "We have to be consistent. We play great one game and then bad the next. You can't be inconsistent. We have to bring it every night."

    Hmmm, Black Sheep, I'm not sure an ad slogan can be a cliche in the sense we're looking for. Although I grant you the fact that "Be part of something big" becomes rather cliche when they air the ad after a loss.

    Thanks anyway!

    cheers,

    Umm, not sure I've ever heard one of the players say that. Can you provide a link with quote? I'm afraid we'll have to pass on this one until it's veracity can be confirmed.

    Good points and all, sums41, but not a cliche. Afraid we won't be able to add it to the list. Thanks for trying though!
