ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Jazz 4/26/2007 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 3)

#@$%!

 

YAO had 8 TOs, but he didnt lose this game.. 26/13 from big man, what else you can ask from him?

in the second half, TMAC didnt have single layup, all jumpers... He shoot from everywhere but kist not make them. I blame him for this one

 

0 bench pt.... WOW....

This is sad... very sad...

 

id love to be in the rox lockeroom to see what jvg has to say. tonight we played 2 against 5 and kept up for most of the game. seriously we didn't think utah was just going to give in? im still sticking with us winning in 6

 

I couldn't help but laugh at how this game turned out...it was so bad. Lets hope this is a wake up call for the team! Go Rox!!

 

You can't win a playoff game if you can't make any shots. It's as simple as that. Rox played good D, had some good looks but couldn't make them.
If we shoot a little better, game 4 will be ours.

 

Good grief, guys. Get some perspective. You act like it was a sweep the series or loose the series deal. Yes, we were awful (so were the refs) tonight. The Rockets rarely play back to back bad games. We are still going to win in five.

 

this is one of the worst performances I have ever seen, 33-0 bench scoring, 19 TOs, only 4 players scored, 25 pts in the 2nd half, 40-10 in the paint

I don't know how i will wait till saturday

 

The turnovers also contributed by the open guys who cannot shoot open shots, because UTA can double or trpple team Yao and T-mac without punishment. That is where problem comes.

 

Absolutely correct !! When your bench scores 0 freakin points and you shoot 31 % your gonna lose. Head has just been HORID !!!!!! He isn't even close...He is definately chocking and whoever posted that losing this game is not the benches fault must have been watching another game...This is a team lose and whats sad is that the Jazz really are not that good.....

 

today is a bad day.........
waiting for next game.......

 

JVG, you can at least play some lucas and snyder for some change, Howard and head suck, and you just kept them out there sucking more and more

 

Look at the bright side.

When you are at zero, you can only do better.

 

Giving Luther 24 min tonight is a joke.

 

My Letter to Tracy McGrady:

The Rockets have an 8 man rotation, its you, yao, chuck hayes, rafer and shane battier, and have mutombo, luther head and juwan howard coming off the bench, I will not name anybody, but 6 of those guys I just mentioned suck balls, and its not you and Yao, next game will you attempt 50 shots and give the rest to Yao.

 

It shouldn't be hard to come up with game 4 adjustments...

- Most obvious is Tracy needs to take it to the basket. He was hot early and I think that hurt him in the longrun. He got too comfortable shooting.

- We need to figure out how to box out again and grab a freakin rebound.

- The bench. I think that's all that needs to be said.

- Yao needs to get mean again.

Good news is our defense was great as usual except for a couple of short stretches. That D to start the 4th was suffocating.

 

I'm glad this game was only on NBA TV and the phoenix and lakers are on TNT, because this was the most ugly performance televised on TV.

 

Remember the time when Dallas was soft and needed some inside presense?

They brought in Juwan Howard.

They let him go after one season.

That says everything.....

Dallas the Cupcale team let him go and kept Shawn Bradley instead.

yikes!

 

Yeah, Yao also gave out like 8 TOS, (only 2 out of 8 are BS call). 6TOs just pathetic.

 

i agree with that to death, our jumper is no offensive
