ClutchFans Game Thread: Bulls @ Rockets 11/16/2006

bulls just got lucky... bottom line is we WON

 

TMac was 8/17 - 47% so he wasnt a "brick layer" tonite

 

So, technically we did not blow the lead because we won, and never relinquished the lead.

That being said.....if Yao would start shooting like Yao, and Tmac continues to drive, we should be ok.

I would rather WIN by 1 point than lose by 8.......

However, I think Alston & Head should never be on the court at the same time, not only are they undersized as a backcourt but they are both terrible at defending the perimeter.

Iguess true. if we sortout the mental implosions, we can really destroy anyone and everyone. playing half baked and being 6-3 is a good sign..

 

Refs gave the Rockets a break by not calling RA travel when he tried to inbound the ball. LOL! Wth is the tactics to ask your 6-2 6-3 guards to inbound the ball on an important possession.

Also, anyone thinks a out of shape Bonzi is better than Kirk Synder? I do.

 

Nope, Yao has had "Acme" stamped on his forehead the last 2...

was it only me wondering why they weren't trying to get the ball to the team's best free throw shooter there at the end of the game? If you ask me, we were dang lucky that alston didn't miss any of those.

 

Too many cold stretches and turnovers. Also Snyder was boneheaded and should have just let them rebound the ball with 33 seconds left and a 6 point lead instead of committing a foul. Make them use up some seconds and maybe they might miss and foul you with a 6 point lead or least they would have used up time. Instead they got 2 easy free throws to cut the lead to 4 with no time lost.

 

21 points, 11 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal, 1 block - tracy mcgrady back in business

i said our new win streak starts with #1, and it was all about mac this game

 

I can't agree with you on the 2nd.

Snyder is a keeper in rotation and he can contribute a lot though you guys fail to discover.

 

they need to run plays to free a path for snyder. he is a great driver to the basket.

 

well, look at it from Chicago's perspective... a heart breaking loss.

 

F*** all you guys!! This is what we call basketball! I love this game!!
I love Rockets! We won!!
F*** you whiners all!

 

Never felt this bad about a win in a long time. It was identical to what happened against the Spurs. WE choked in almost every freakin way, had we not made oour ft's then it would have been a loss. A few points.

-Yao Ming cannot be so soft around the basket, he was not finishing anythign agsinst Ben Wallce.

-JVG has got to expand his playbook. There was one point where Doug Collins said we ran the same play 3 straight times to get the ball inbounds. He is a big part of why we lose leads.

-Tmac looked great for 3 qtrs. Made a big shot in the 4th, but he refuses to drive so that hurts his game. Also I don't know if Jvg is callin out all those screeen and roll's or Tmac , but they need to get cut down. Honestly I think Tmac asks for so many screens because he has no legs to get by his defender, or he is too lazy.

-Luther Head at the point is a disaster, we really need to start playing Spanoulis.

-We have got to get Bonzi out there, please!!

-Battier is a really limited offensive player, much less than what i thought of him

 

Your not ever gonna get off rookie status like that

 

I totally second that!!! HAHAHAHA

 

w00t!

 

couldn't agree more

 

I was heart broken last game, so no sympathy for Chicago

 

Rafer's IQ takes a dive into negative realms when the game gets close.

As long as Rockets have big leads, he will be playing fine.

As soon as the game gets close, he starts looking for his mommy.
