ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Raptors 12/9/2007

Rafer is irrelevant we were up by 14 points with steve running the point we were up by 11 points at half time.T-mac killed team play going 1 on5 and we became predictable again.Yao wasn't involved anymore,knowbody else was a threat.They just loaded up on tracy and veryone else fell out of rythym.

 

I dont get why fans put it all on t-mac or yao. IF they are the reason we win or LOSE games, then we obviously have not gotten deeper this year. Why is that not apparent?

 

ive had more fun shaving...even when i cut myself.

that was pathetic, and my week is fkd because of it.

damn, this was when we were sposed to get our **** together on the road and put a streak together.

I fear we drop back to 50% ball against the Sixers.

 

He'll settle the r****ded 3Q offense down, call a play and get you a set play with a corner 3 from Shane or a Low post shot from Yao to stop the Raptors run. He'll also get the basketball past the halfcourt and get it to T-Mac or Yao with 20 seconds still on the clock. He'll also give you 10 fast break points.

He also doesn't deserve the name calling. What the hell are Reefers and Wafers?

Boo!!! 11-10 .... what the f+ck happened to us in the 2nd half?

 

listless = having or showing little interest

 

RA at halftime: I'm going to put in some weird line-ups for the third. Our offense is to get the ball to TMac and watch him chuck. On defense, don't guard anyone. And Yao, make sure you make Humphries look like a MVP.

 

what a crappy effort in the 2nd half, just no energy after what should have been a good win if they duplicated their play in the first half

 

Really, it's so funny to see Scola received the ball under the basket and noone was around him, he still tried to pump fake and he walked. Everybody played like a scrub today.

 

leave these kind of posts at ************cs, ok?

 

Not the best Rox performance, for sure. They didn't go to Yao enough. TMAC took too many tough shots. And there sure were some strange lineups out there for the Rox at times. Move on. Take the next one.

 

Go back to sleep pryuen it was all just a bad dream! This team is what it is which appears to be a 7th or 8th seed if they are lucky. This season if going by fast and the Rockets seem to not know who or what they are and we clearly saw today what Rafer does for this team.

I love SF but he is not a PG and it was painfully obvious in this game. Without Rafer this team plays like a group at the YMCA during a pick up game.

 

2nd round? where? I dont see it happening .....

 

How could he be experimenting when the first sub he made was when 3 minutes left in the quarter. He is just pathetic and doesn't deserve this job. It seems like there is no control on this team and no flow what so ever. I have no clue what he is trying to do with this team.

 

That "lead" showed signs of trouble. I saw it coming. We were relying too much on the jump-shot from tipoff. Yao only had 5 shots at half time.

 

WHAT THE HELL.. I'M AT WORK and saw the first qtr and we were up 14-2 so i thought good win.. then we were up by halftime by 11.. then i check the final score and WE LOST BY 13!! WTFF

 

The beginning of the third quarter lost us this game. We had a big lead and all the momentum going into the second half and all of a sudden the offense became stagnant and we can't get any stops at the defensive end. I blame Adleman for not making adjustment in the second half. This is a very winnable game for the Rockets and the result is very dissapointing. All these bad losses add up to a low playoff seed and another first round exit.

 

Let's worry about getting into the playoffs before we start thinking about the 2nd round. As it stands now, and it pains me to say it, the Lakers and GS are better than us.

 

Was that a scrimmage or a real game? Anyone know?

RA at halftime redux:

Yao, be irrelevant.
Tmac, Chuck it up and try to get fifty.
Landry, look lost.
The rest of you, stand around and watch.

 

It seems that somebody imposed his will on the game but it didn't work out well.
