ClutchFans Game Thread: Raptors @ Rockets 12/21/2005

I can hear it now...

"We just didn't come out with any intensity. Sure, we've got a lot of injuries, but that's no excuse. We need to find a way to win."

 

why does Juwon always lose the ball on the rebound?

 

Guess Yao is not the only guy bothered by double and triple teams. T-Mac is getting smothered.

 

Well how can you win when half your team is hurt. Pretty soon we will have to forfeit the game due to not having five to put on the court. I know T-Mac is being swarmed but even Bill and Calvin noticed that T-Mac just isn't into the game. I guess he feels like us The is definately a Rocket low in this franchises history....We'll bounce back...........just not tonight..

 

one qt left, down by 12, we stil make win

 

Yeah..almost like he has somewhere to be..Like he has some chick waiting for him back home and he just wants this game to end...

 

Joe Graham looked pissed they Stephen was taken out the game.

 

Wow, I thought that we could win 50% of the games without Yao. Well, that was a gross overstatement. Life without Yao is not La Dolce Vita for us fans.

 

Bill and Calvin? Are you even watching the game?

 

The guy has a double double in 3 quarters, including 5 offensive boards. Nobody is perfect, ok?

 

Well all we do on this forum is bash Yao. Maybe we need to take a step back and see if Yao is a big part of this team. Also, T-Mac has been avg. 30 pts a game and has 6 to start the 4th. If we had his pts we'd be winning....

 

I think T-Mac is hurt....

 

we still have chance to win, dont give up, man

 

i can no a watche no more.

 

So I guess our only choice is too wait around and lose until we get some help back ? If I was Les Alexander I would go up to all the hurt players and say " get your a.. back in there and play and stop being babies. For every game you miss I'm deducting it from your salary. Take a pain injection and just play little babies.@#$$$#$%$% "

 

Seeing T-Mac score only 6 points already 2 min. into the 4th quarter is exactly why I thought all the Yao bashing in the beginning of the season was so unfair.
Yao was getting double and triple teamed and still scoring in the twenties. He would be the top scorer and a lot of people still wanted to trade him for KG. Not to mention that was THE KILLER part of the schedule playing the Spurs, Pistons, Mavs, etc...

That being said I think T-Mac will adjust to playing against double and triple teams more as the season goes on. Hopefully we'll still be in the playoff race then.

 

This is ridiculous. Mooch is in there with one leg sliding from side to side. I know he wants to help but hes hurting us. They are just driving right around him... Oh yeah, and why did we trade Mike James ?

 

You think Mike james is enjoying this?

 

U-G-L-Y

 

I hope some more guys go down. Then we can pull a guy out of the crowd and put him on the court.
