ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Spurs 3/27/2005

Steve Jones.

"Forget Houston"
"This is the oooooldest team in the league"
"They don't have anybody who can guard on the perimeter, they better hope Yao Ming is blocking some shots"

He needs a good serving of CROW! He said all of this even after it was mentioned that the Rockets have the best record in the league next to Miami, since January.

On top of that, he dissed Walton every chance he gets.......

 

Pregame Walton was going on and on about how he thinks that we are the only team that could give the Suns and the Spurs a run for thier money, but snapper was talking about the West and mid sentence he stops to tell Bill " you need to giveup on that Rockets thing"

 

T-Mac clearly can't run well, I don't understand what the heck is the purpose behind playing him. I don't think he will be effective, and even worse, this might aggrevate his injury and make him worse.

Stupid thinking by JVG, I have a bad feeling about this.

Even Hubie is saying he is injured

 

T-Mac is showing heart

 

I don't like our defense right now..we've gotta shut down the paint

 

We simply can't keep up with their guards, they are too quick for our senior-citizen team. Geno and Parker will have big games.

Yao doesn't look aggressive early on, T-Mac is injured, our game looks a bit out of sync.

Hopefully these things improve as the game goes on.

EDIT: Nesterovic is 3/3? I guess they are challenging Yao to guard him away from the basket

 

Here you go:

Yao couldn't even hold that ball rolling on the ground with no one near him, instead pushed it away from himself

Wesley bricked the sh** outta that shot.

 

. . . at least we can get the ball past the halfcourt line.

 

Hopefully Yao will wake up here shortly and stop lettign Rasho out hustle him

 

dont get your hope high for him

It's time for his annual slump.

 

wake up Yao

geez ...he looks like hes moving in slow motion

 

this teams effort and energy right now is pathetic

 

he is damn soft. tired of this.

 

no way we win this game playing like this

 

Tmac is the only player that has showed up, but I dont think he should be playing. He's playing his heart out at 75%, and Yao is still deferring to him and getting pushed around by Rasho. At this rate, we're going to lose the game and jeopordize tmac's health.

 

Too many lazy passes. Spurs are very aggressive at gaurding the passing lanes.

 

He was just going up for a shot, hit the bottom of the backboard, and the ball bounced off his head out of bounds.

These things will really hurt us this game, we are out hustled and out-smarted by the Spurs. Too many turnovers already.

I second the Yao 'waking up' thing, but he likely won't get the chance to quarter, I think JVG will put Deke in now to attempt and rally the team a bit. His defensive intensity and hustle always does good things for the Rox.

 

Yao hits the snooze again.

Sura faints.
