Not a problem at all, guys who played balls know this kind of things always happen, especially when you are losing.
I'm glad they were barking and mad at each other while playing such a sorry game. When players don't care about losing or playing sloppy, the season is over. The Spurs played very well and we weren't going to win last night, but the game should not have been a complete blowout. The Spurs brought playoff intensity while the Rockets played as if it was preseason.
I dont think it is something big... It is so strange that in the first several minutes, all our paint guys are with 2-3 fauls and they keep on free throwings and scoring. Everyone is getting frustrated.
That's great news actually, it shows that those guys care and were embarassed for themselves last night. As for the rest of you, don't read too much into this, it's nothing more than 'heat of the moment' stuff and it won't linger beyond that game. I am still convinced the Wade verbal smackdown on Payton last season was what propelled the Heat to the title. I like the intensity, now just make sure it translates into more focus and poise on the court.
Now imagine it read like this: Something tells me all those posters who are conveeeeeeniently quiet these days would have a completely different tune to sing about this incident.
The difference is that Alston did it in the flow of the game. James is just flat out malicious being the cancer that he is.
Let's just hope Rafer won't pull anything like what he did with Mitchell in Toronto. Something tells me that Rafer doesn't take criticism/constructive punishment very well. But that's just my personal impression, we will see how he responds if JVG pulls him out of a game once again for poor play. Just keep in mind that so far, JVG has given Rafer a blank check to do whatever he wants on the court, but that definitely will change as the season winds down and especially when the playoffs roll around. I imagine JVG will keep him on a short leash in the near future.
So a head coach losing control on his players and the situation on the court and on the bench during a game is a good thing? Mmmkay JVG lovers, you never cease to amaze me.
This is a non issue. Team chemistry is great, its one of our strengths. Stuff like that happens in the heat of a big game.
Whoop dee doo. The chrons reporter just trying to startup stuff that doesn't mean jack. I am glad the players were mad at the fact they were playing like crap. The Bulls were a team that would bark at each other especially Jordan and Horace Grant. This team will be good once the team is fully healthy. I can't wait till everyone is back and ready not excuses lets get it done!!
good thing is mr nice guy yao returns and F-ing alston better dish inside now than cracking up his 3pters
Alston is just feeling the pressure, and guys are probably getting tired of such a poor shooter taking so many shots. DD
It all started when Rafer waived off T-Mac and it all ended when Yao shouted "You can't F******* stop me!".
I don't think this will affect their chemistry. Sometimes people get mad when they play crappy. It's natural. I also noticed that confrontation between Duncan, McGrady, and the referee. I was thinking, who the f#@% does that guy think he is? The refs are getting too full of themselves, just like that ref who T-ed Mutombo for wagging his finger. In the words of the great Bill Worrell, they're trying to be bigger than the game.
There's nothing to worry about at all!! it was just a moment during the game this kind of stuff always happens to professional and non professional players in all sports!
