ClutchFans Game Thread: Pistons @ Rockets 11/18/2005

Ok, this is getting worse everday. The Rockets should get T-Mac to rest for a month and start from scratch. The Rockets need to bring in Spree and trade for another big man that can really rebound and play tougher D. I am just frustrated with the way the team is playing. I need something to cheer about.

 

Swift is athletic but plays too erratically.

DA is horrible

This team is unbelievably dangol right now.

Although I am proud of the effort, the offense never EVER flowed in this game.

The Rockets outside of Tmac and Yao really do suck.

 

You need to have a control on youself. Yao's having a good game. Get off his hair and grow up. Don't always behave like a kid. This is a grown-up world.

 

I don't know about the rest of y'all, but I generally liked what I saw tonight. This team has come a step closer to living up to the promise it had "on paper" at the start of the season.

I can't wait til Sura's back in the lineup. Hell yeah.

 

Head did not play a single minute in second half. DA's shot selection was bad,
but he did play some good defense on Prince. TMac shot like 3/16. If he gave those shots to others, we might have a chance.

 

Rafer played so timid and unconfident. Don't what's going on with him.

But, man, DA is the cancer. No defense, no shooting touch. Slow and soft. Ironically, We thought we got a steal.

 

Yeah it's funny how all the aspirations of the players before the season were to play hard and be successful, yet they play like it's a pick up game EVERY night.

Also, Yao played a solid game, but one thing that really bothered me was his stupid FOULS in the 4th.

Am I being to critical about this?

 

F**K DA...thats all I need to say. There, I feel better.

 

That dude you are referring to is a typical YOH so I wouldn't put too much stock in what he says.

 

His counterpart is Charvo and amed is his buddy.

 

But if we continue to play with the same zeal and intensity we showed tonight, we'll be ok. we pushed a 8-0 team to the limit.wesely showed he still has plenty to offer. once tracy gets healthy, we'll be ok.

 

I liked some of it but hated all of it. Swift with two turnovers in the final minutes? Wesley trying to drive on Rasheed? Yao's nine turnovers? DA not making anything? Or how about McGrady looking very hurt? Aside from that intensity did seem up and Yao had some nice moves on wallace. What is so frustrating about the Rockets is that they show flashes of brilliance, and the guards take turns having good nights and never overlap. When was the last time you remember two guards at once playing well for the rockets? Or how about Yao scoring at the same level in the second half than in the first?

 

Actually, he played pretty good defense. It's his offense that sucks.

 

And what happened to Barry? He is passing up tons of open looks. Is he gonna take a shot only on our fastbreaks? Those are like once a week now. Damn, just take the shot when you are open.

 

What do you guys think will occur first the Rockets: bring in spree, make a trade, or fire JVG??

 

they gotta bring in someone

I don't care how they do it

trade, free agent pickup, whatever the hell we need to do

but we gotta get some fresh players in here and aboveall, someone to help an ailing tmac

 

All on the same day within an hour of each other?

 

I'm actually worried about the Rockets.....besdides Yao and TMac we really have no reliable scorer.

 

If you are so pathetically poor that cannot even watch ESPN, STFU.

 

You want Yao to play like a dog, you got it tonight. He played aggressive. What's the result, fouled out! The refs have been giving plenty of respect to Wallace. How did he only have one foul, which was called very late in the game. He the heck Yao is supposed to turn close to basket, just turn like a giant stick. Un-freaking-believable. I wish Yao could punch someone or at least yell at those jerk, get his 6 fouls worth.
