[Clutchfans Game Thread] Preseason: Rockets vs Mavericks 10/17/06

If baklava develops a consistent outside shot, he will be the Greek Jesus!

He reminds me of a young Jason Kidd. Tough built PG. Great court vision, good defense, but inconsistent outside shot.

 

lol good one.

killbill frequently donates blood to the Red Cross. Just never his own.

Leading hand sanitizers claim they can kill 99.9 percent of germs. killbill can kill 100 percent of whatever the hell he wants.

kill bill died ten years ago, but the Grim Reaper can't get up the courage to tell him.

 

yeah, he asked yao and yao gave it to him. lol

 

37.3% FG
33.3% 3-FG
51.7% FT

 

why did we experiment 3-2 zone D with the mavs? is it because the mavs' starters weren't starting, so we attempted some schemes so it wouldn't hurt if it didn't work, and if it did, the starters wouldn't have seen it come the regular season?

From what I saw, the zone D was miserable. It didn't stop their offense, and it stalled our own offense in the beginning. Did we play zone at all last year, or previous years?

 

but more importantly...

Houston BEATS Dallas.

 

Most useful thing he did all night.


On the other hand... Yao needs to get a clue. The guy is a ****ing rookie, tell him to get his own ****ing towel and put him on towel duty for the rest of the preseason. What would Charles Oakley do?

 

I see that Battier is still keeping a low profile. . But luther head is much more composed in his 2nd year. Spanoulis is doing better but everytime he tries to b fancy he turns it over. Novak is impressive..he can make it from anywhere if given space and appropriate plays

 

66.7% Preseason winning percentage

 

Yes. Yao is soft. Trade his big ass.

 

They didn't show the game in the Triangle and for some reason the Orange radio station didn't carry it. So, thank God for Internet radio! But the "preseason doesn't matter" thing doesn't apply to Dallas. Forget the disappointments, Great win!

 

I have said this before and i will say this again: V-span is a quicker version of Sura. hands off

 

NOVAK is the messiah!

 

Steve Novak has a new nickname....


Heir Bull.

 

Kill Bill looked GREAT....Novak looked GREAT........

The rest of the team looked average at best.


I have to say, the Mavericks have the best Free throw defense I have ever seen.....

i like how confident Head has become his game is much more improved from last season everyone seemed to be more comfortable on the floor tonight although they didnt adjust well to the change in the line up but they will get it done in a couple more preseason games

 

Alston needs to take lessons from V.Span, he might then learn what it is to be a playmaker!

 

He is MILES better than Bullard ever was, or could hope to be.

Bullard could shoot, but he couldn't move....Novak moves very well without the ball and shoots coming off screens...Bull...not so much.

Keep in mind that Bullard and I grew up 2 streets from each other and were childhood friends....I took his marbles on a consistent basis !!

Dude I really hope your right, If he could just develop a decent tre it would completly open up his game

 

Never posted it when the V-Span talk of him being turnover prone and out of control came up. Thats just how it is sometimes with playmaking guards at first. Jason Kidd I would bet when he first started came out sloppy and throwing passes all over the place before he got himself acclamated and used to how things are supposed to be done.

All of a sudden I'm not thinking back much on the Mike Jameses, Bobby Sura and Rudy Gays of the world. The club still has to gel, especially with Bonzi needing to get in but its in decent hands for now.
