ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Knicks 1/21/2005

didnt we put the game away at the last second and win?

 

legitimate concern, but they looked tired in the 4th. turnovers and miffed rebounds.

No complaints from me, we snuck out a win in the 4th game in nights. There are games like this during the season, you have to enjoy the win and thank your lucky stars. For them most part we were much better than the knicks -- back-to-back road wins. I'll take it.

 

Are you a laker fan?

 

Mental lapse.

In hind sight tmac should have been given some rest minutes earlier in the 4th because he became ineffective due to fartigue during crunch time. He also left Padget in way too long.

So I'll say mental lapse by the coach and to some extent Sura.

 

suddenly all of the YOFs came out

Seriously, I figured that Yao's improvement in performance is due to recovery from recent flu and the tiredness from last summer's intense physical training.

 

That is anecdotal hogwash. This logic is elementary at best. It is like someone else putting forth an arguement that Padget should start at PF position based on his good game today. "One" happenstance does not make a trend.

That said, the sight of seeing Yao knock down long range shot is very very encouraging. He also knocked down own long range and another mid-range face-up basket in the previous game against Orlando Magic. Hopefully a steady diet of this option is factored in more and Yao delivers when they present themselves.

 

Completely agree, shameless lack of BB IQ and ball handling letting that 24 second clock expire. Fortunately, it was the NY Knicks and their all-star PG, Stephan Marbury. Man, are you ever going to say anything positive about the Rox, dude we won.

 

Just got back from game. MSG is a fun place, the joint was hoppin.
The NYers were CRUSHED by that shot.

 

I think his responsibility on those plays is to get back and either set another pick for a player coming down the baseline or to get in position for an offensive rebound. What he needs to do is just roll towards the opposite side of who ever has the ball (on the pick and roll play) and look for the ball. then if open shoot that jumper.

 

when yao miss who will fight for reb? our pf is suck on reb.

 

A win in the 4th game in 5 nights on the road after an emotional win in Orlando and arriving at 4am - despite playing a pretty bad team - is a VERY good win.

 

I just think when we trade yao for odam and .... and after yao come back to TC, he shoot all renge and make a perfect 20-20. what we feel that time.

 

This is an image I hope we continue to see for many years, minus Barry, of course.

 

LOL! It's like where the hell did Barry come from..he' s out of place!

 

I guess coming from the Hawks he jumps at any chance to celebrate.

 

I must say I like these uni's ALOT! They have so much character. Not a big fan of the colors, but I'm down with the design for sure. Just like the ones worn during our championship years.

 

Knicks coach resigned.... heard on ESPN....

 

Wilkens?!

 

Holly shooooot, watch on espn, spurs vs sun, spurs come from 17 and Maron hit a buzzer 3 to tie the game at 111.

Hope we can beat them both someday someday.

sorry post here

 

Um, we have beaten the Spurs TWICE this season.
