ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Sixers 12/10/2007

You are so lucky to have got the time wrong. So when you look on the final score, it looks a ok game. But what you don't know is if T-Mac and Yao keeped on playing, a new NBA record will be created tonight!

 

Clutch said it best, its super super lame to think that Rafer is the deal breaker between making this team a contender and being in the lottery.

 

I disagree, we were at least on par with the 76ers even when they had their starters back on. All bench players should play with intensity despite the lead. Our players just wanted it more, and it is a positive note in a dreadful night. How can you not give credit to our bench? That is just absurd. It is even more difficult for the bench to stay competitive in a meaningless 30 point lead because they were put in for the sake of cleaning up the garbage.

 

I hope so. this cant go on.

 

Both should be held accountable.

Yao should of attempted to bulldoze his way in even if it mean fouling out. You just can't fold under pressure like that. At least show heart in the competition. Although T-mac's quitting is worse.... but I better leave that for another day.

 

package battier and rafer!

 

Take this however you want, but to Yao's credit... I think he really does try as hard as he can.

He's just not as good as people think he is. And has a helluva time with little midgets running around his ankles like mice.

 

Adleman just said Tracy told him he "was done." What a twat.

 

I'm not a YOF. I am a Rockets fan. Grow up and stop calling people names for calling it the way they see it.

 

Um, who cares! There are no moral victories ... unless you're a Rockets fan this year.

 

This game really starts to worry me. I don't know if anybody else sees it, but I think I have seen fricture and fission in the team. Out of halftime, Yao was looking all angry and did not look at any of his teammates while T-Mac was strolling down the court with a smirk on his face. I could only imagine that maybe Yao said something during the halftime that did not get across too well. I hope I am wrong, but I am starting to worry. I think Yao cares a lot but it doesn't help that he played two of his worst games as he decided to openly question his teammates. T-Mac, on the other hand,... I don't know if he cares or not. I think he is always looking for the feeling of invincible. It is a positive thing when he gets it. But when he doesn't feel it, he will just "chill'' on the court.

Another thing I saw was when the Rockets were turning the ball over time and time again, Battier and Mike James seemed to have got into a little something at the beginning of a timeout. Right before the timeout, MJ was bringing the ball up court and sort of ran into Battier which resulted in a turnover. I think he was barking at Battier when they walked to the bench and Battier was palming down, kind of saying "Calm down," and not necessarily in a unirritated manner.

I don't know. I am really starting to worry about this team now. I love the Rockets. Please don't fall apart.

 

Its time to starting Scola.

 

Does anybody have a GIF of Snyder putback dunk? I didn't see it because of the lag on the windows media player.

 

Youre a YOF. you make excuses for every bad game he has. he and mcgrady are two overrated soft losers. there just not winners.

 

I mentioned dissension in the pregame post and I agree with you. There is definately dissension. Losing does that to a team.

 

He'll foul out before the 2nd half starts.

 

You got more than 6000 posts, why are you still a rookie?

 

What excuse did I make in my post? Why don't you try posting something constructive instead of resorting to crying about this player sucks, this player is a p***y? Is that all the substance you have?

 

What you pissed off about?. because i called yao what he is?. a SOFT PANZY?./ HE IS. he is a overrated panzy. he folds under pressure. he cant even lead a pack of two year olds to victory.
McGrady is almost as bad.

 

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe he won't play so people don't think he quit tonight, assuming he didn't really hurt his ankle badly.
