ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Celtics 1/31/2005

espn and yahoo game channel sucks and clutch chat won't log me in.
another good game I can't watch.

go rockets. Yao had a pretty good night in spite of the foul trouble. Tracy needs to pick it up. He's been a bit off since he came back from that day off....not exactly stat wise, but he disappeared in the Hornets game in the 4th and wasn't quite all there yesterday against the Heat.

 

Can someone correct me here, did Yao actually had the most touches tonite with 15 attempts? If so, thats pretty amazing considering all the talk about him not getting the ball enough...now I can sleep finally.

 

This game should have been finished long time ago if they keep going to Yao.

Our starting PF has an effeciency rating of -1. Unheard of.

 

Whew........

 

If wesly hit it will be a Assist. give it to yao and yao dribble then no A and maybe a TO. what do you do?

 

with the defense celtics put on yao, there is 2 ways to win the game tonight:
(1) Keep feeding yao
(2) Since we have big lead and yao's 12FGA quota is up at half time, we can fool around until it matters we go back to yao again.

We went for option 2 tobight and luckily we came out a WIN!!!! !!!!!(this always happens but most of the time we will lose the game)

GO ROCKETS!

 

I have watched a few Celtics game this season and I truly believe they are somewhat better than what their record says. I watched them come back from about a 15 points deficit on the road against a good Bulls team in the 4th quarter (January 29).

Based on that I was convinced they would come back. They have this bad habbit of starting slow but they can mount runs very easily. I glad we came out of there with a win.

 

the silver lineing is this:

we are 25-21 w/o a PG, PF, or any depth. just think of how good we will be when we find those few pieces....

we can sign a PG this summer and draft a SF. the following summer spoon comes off the books, mo enters the final year of his deal meaning he gets traded, finally. that leaves room to aquire a PF.

06-07 will be the year we become the real deal.

 

Houston won, the score is HOU 97 BOS is 94. It is on NBA TV.

 

I doubt Sura's capabile of thinking so sumc in action. The guy is a 2 guard for most of his career. He just doenst have a PG mentatlity.

 

calling Stromile Swift, summer 2005...

 

Yeah, could Yao leave us?

 

Now, that's positive thinking. I really like it. Better days are ahead.

 

I'll take a as a progress. Those are the teams they usually lose to last season.

 

lol
I might get hit by a bus crossing the street tommorrow who can wait till 06/07.

 

Duh. Everyone knows that if Sura feeds Yao, he'd be labeled a YOF, just like everyone in here who watched the game and noticed that Sura would rather feed a bricklaying Wesley than a hothanded Yao Ming. YOFs, all of you! Now, either get on the Sura bandwagon or go to a YOF website. How dare you question Bob Sura, offensive option 1A??

*End Heavy Sarcasm*

Seriously, expect to be bashed as YOFs for even daring to suggest Sura doesn't pass to Yao, despite the glaring obviousness of the situation staring you in the face.

 

why would he leave a max contract from a contender? esp. one who has a superstar willing to pass him the ball, and by that time a PF to protect him, and a PG to make sure he gets more than 1 shot in the 3rd after starting 8-10.

 

All we need is a consistent third star on this team. Then we will be all set.

 

I love Jon Barry...man we was clutch today in the 4th quarter (plus him and Sura really show alot of emotion out there...seems like it pumps the whole team up at times). Nice to see Yao have a good game on a back-to-back night. I hope T-mac's back heals up in time for the next game, he looked like he was really struggling out there.

 

No, you can't. Nobody can afford 3 legit stars. 2 stars plus right role players. Even if you are willing to pay the luxury tax, you are still asking for trouble. The BBS will crash in debates of who should shoot more
