ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Jazz 4/28/2007 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 4)

Nobody is bandwagonning, people are just complaining that the Rockets are coming out with ZERO energy, ZERO heart, and are laying down.

And tonight, Sloan has clearly figured out JVG's defense...they are HAMMERING the Rockets and scoring at will.

Rafer and Luther are TERRIBLE....****ING HORRID....perimeter defenders.

DD

 

T-Mac, I need you to revert back to 2003 form IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!!!! F*** whoever is on the court. Take the f***in ball and impose some f***in will We can't have these dudes twerkin us like this. Show some balls out there please!!!!!

 

It is Van Gundy's fault because he does not play V-Span.

 

lmao down by 19

 

How gross

 

its always the same people defending JVG and Alston over and over again

pathetic!

 

Good night, guys. This game is over.

You cannot win by playing 2 on 5, much less speaking 2 on 8. It is even more true when the 2 aren't playing at their best.

 

Whatever Dali Lama.......Goodnight the Fat Lady is singing......Se yah Monday night and maybe by then the hair on the Rockets Balls might be back....

 

YA RLY, and if i wanted your opinion, id probably ask for it dickwad. We're gonna lose, we arent going past 1st round, you may not see it, but we are playoff chokers, we have no playoff expierence and our players are a bunch of p*****s. Bring Sura, Wesley and Barry back, I do not give a **** how old they are and what injuries they have, Sura without fingers could beat Luther Head anyday.

 

Please go away. You want them to quit the game with 2 minutes left in the 3rd?

You're a f***ing idiot.

 

We suck. The 2004-2005 team was much much better than the one we have now.

 

Actually, the Rockets need to be leading going into the fourth quarter. I'm not sure of the exact numbers, but the Rockets are 1-28 or something like that when trailing at the end of three.

If they enter the fourth quarter trailing by anything, I think this game is basically over.

Very sad. This game was a must-win for both teams: a must-win for the Jazz to basically turn it into a best-of-three series with momentum on their side, and a must-win for the Rockets to at least put the odds back in their favor. (Teams up 2-1 in a best-of-seven series have won the series something like 88% of the time, I think; being up 3-1 makes it more like 95%, if I recall correctly.)

 

ANOTHER YAO TURNOVER!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

Uhh...what bench?

Even in the regular season they were doing almost nothing with ample minutes (29th best in the league is a number that pops up in my head, though I may be very wrong.), its not like JVG can just, with the twink of an eye, make them NBA players.

 

19 point lead now. Wow, I didn't think we would be getting smoked so badly.

Heh, plenty of time still left on the clock. Come on guys!

p.s: Wtf, terrible call on the offensive foul on Yao!

 

it's Van Gundy's fault for not making any adjustments. The Jazz has been playing the SAME basketball throughout this series and it's worked all 4 games. It's just now, the effectiveness is magnified because they are finally hitting more jumpers. I don't see why in the heck we don't put Battier on Deron or even Tracy on Deron.

It's also his fault for not developing a better bench. Sure they're not hitting their shots, but at least if he had played Spanoulis and Novak, at least we could give them a shot. You don't see the Spurs sitting Matt Bonner. You don't see the Lakers sitting Vujacic or the Jazz sitting Millsap. When you get too dependent on your starting five in the regular season and have no progress with your bench, you are destined for failure.

 

Well, not all is lost I guess. We just need to win at home and we can still win this series.

As has been said already: this Jazz team is very good and very tough to play because they're so physical and they tend to wear you down. It's been said all along that this series will go the distance.

So just deal with it. The Jazz played their best ball tonight and they took care of their home court; that's what they're supposed to do.

Let's take care of business at home and we're fine...

 

Wipe that look off your FACE, Yao!

 

Classic Jazz flop tactic - followed by the makeup call.

 

Unless Tmac start showing some fire and play like a superstar, his persue of 2nd round may fall short again.
