ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Jazz 5/3/2007 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 6)

If you analysis his tos, you can't blame him to much.some are 3 secends violation,some are he got fouled and no call.

Where's shaq? he goes fishing.If you put shaq in our team in stead of Yao, nothing more.

 

I hate Dick Bevetta! That's my analysis!

 

Half of Yao's turnovers should be put on our guards. They get him the ball late, make him reach and they throw it to him when the double has already arrived. Luther and Rafer, both absolutely horrible tonight.

Oh, but Rafer didn't have any turnovers!!

 

McGrady's decision making was the same as always... he has a few mistakes, but some of his TOs were really the result of the refs not calling fouls when one should have been called. In any case, the team was fighting hard today. The ball just didn't bounce their way (you can say the same about Utah in the games they lost, too).

The teams are evenly matched, I'm just rooting for the Rockets in game 7 and will worry about drafts, free agents, and all other personnell related matters only when the season is officially over, whenever that may be.

 

first , trade yao with Jermaine O'Neal next season.

second, With Yao, houston is forever a jelly fish.

thrid, Tmac you can dominate the game as what you did in the Orlando Magic.

fourth. Yao you try to get dirty and make a dirty hell game.


if so, this year , we can defeat Utah and next year, we are champion.

 

you know you could say the same for Spanoulis if he gave us his regular season numbers.

Seriously though I would actually like to see Head shoot more. By my count he's 3-4 from 3 for the last 5 periods. I wouldn't mind if he was 6-12 instead.

 

ROCKETS play as a different team at home, much like how the jazz do.....GAME 7 IS OUR...THANK GOODNESS FOR HOMECOURT!!!!

wats funny is how people usually say "a series doesn't start until a team wins on the other homecourt".....GUESS DAT AINT GONNA HAPPEN but it still been a GREAT SERIES

 

It was the same as always- and that's the problem. Too much settling for jumpers and a few of his patented "hey I'll run down the court and throw it up from behind the arc with 19 seconds left on the shot clock - cause I'm T-mac!" I hate that.

 

insert a sentence after the "third"
3.5, we get the Orlando Magic record of 21 wins

 

Yeah, you could............if Spanoulis was an option now. But he's not an option because he was never developed during the regular season. What is very clear is we have NO ONE to go to the hole besides McGrady. And it is killing our offense. Two of the most gifted offensive players in the NBA, and we can't hardly get to 80.

Say, what you want but Luther Head is shooting 28% from the field and 24% from 3 point land and Rafer is shooting 35% from the field, and 33% from the 3 point line, and barely 1 point per shot.

It's the playoffs, when teams have to take it to the rack because defenses rotate quicker and are much more taller, faster, and athletic. Our guards are killing us and we can do nothing about it. Our guard play will eventually take us out of the playoffs, whether it is Saturday or at some point after that. But, our guard play will cost us our season.

 

ROCKETS HAVE HAD 3 YEARS TO PUT DECENT TALENT AROUND MAC AND YAO AND THE ONLY SIGNIFICANT PLAYER THEY COULD ADD WAS BATTIER...AND THEY HAD TO GIVE UP A 1ST ROUNDER FOR HIM...ROCKETS COACHED AND MANAGEMENT IS TEXANSESQUE

This is what I saw..........

This is what I saw..........

I'm a little drunk and definitely bitter from tonights game. 3 chances to take the lead and no answer. All night I thought that the picks were very lazy. Utah was going around the picks all night. The call on juwon for the T was questionable. The charge from Shane at the end was horrible. We let this game go. T-mac tried to get to the paint but he made bad decisions once he got there. Yao, on a couple of plays, was very lazy getting back to the other side. I think there was atleast 3 plays where the jazz had five on four b/c of this. Jazz were very lucky on the 3's tonight. We usually have been very good at preventing the 3's but Yao's rotation seriously hurt us tonight. I really just hate to have Okur beat us. We had the game and lost it. But, I'm very confident we can pull this off at home. Again, sorry about the ramblings, but had to put it somewhere.

 

what did the pacers have a 11-12 game losing streak. that's just weak.

 

He wasn't developed because he's not very good. But that's another thread.

.

We don't need anybody to go to the hole - we have a dominat post player and a dominant driving player - there's only one basketball. They are just not doing things they way we know they can do them - at

Yes I know you've posted that 4 times already in the last 5 minutes. The guy is a 44% three point shooter and is showing some signs of breaking out of his slump. I want him shooting more. That is how we win games - did you see any of the 52 games we won this season?

 

Man,please don't quote his words. that makes my ignore list useless.

 

Very disappointed!
I don't know why Yao made fadeway shoot when facing Bozzer.Big guy, you are 9 inches higher than Bozzer.You should attack near the rim.
I found T-Mac made several mistaken decision when we were 1 point after Jazz. It seemed he was not concentrated.

 

Highest priority for the Rockets this offseason has to be a guy, any position, who can consistently put in, say, 13-20 points a game. Don't need a superstar, just someone who can keep the defense honest when they're overplaying Yao and T-Mac. No more of these one-dimensional streaky guys. Utah's just daring someone other than Yao and T-Mac to step up and no one can do it. Too bad about Bonzi.

 

To be fair to T-Mac, he drove into the lane early on and got HAMMERED almost every time, but he didn't get a single call all night. I honestly don't blame him for not trying it again since he was getting abused so badly.

Also, Bavetta deserves to be suspended for that technical. Abso-****ing-lutely inexcusable.

 

I try not to be pessimistic but realistic. Honestly there is a lot of pressure on both teams but especially on us to finish it off.We have been able to get by with the smallest of margins at home while the Jazz have done better than us on their home court. They have not only avoided but comfortably won an elimination game. This is bound to increase pressure on us. I just hope that we will get behind our guys at home and they some how will figure out a way to win but honestly I don't feel optimistic right now.
