ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Nuggets 12/20/2007

If we play as hard as this for the rest of the season, I don't care if we even make the playoffs. What a team effort, even though we were short handed against Denver at home.

I thought we made all the right plays except for the Battier foul. Although Carter's shot was really a miracle shot... I would of let him do the same thing even if we had to do it again. Camby also had that miracle floater. How cruel was it for us tonight.

Nothing I can complain about. I can't even blame Battier, because without his 3, we wouldn't of even been in the position to win the game.

 

Can't even be mad at this one. Although, we still shot barley 40%.

 

As good as a win imo!

 

TURNING POINT . . .Turning Point

Rocket River

 

Plenty of positives despite a lose. Great game. However we better expect a lose for the next game...all the players are fatigued.

 

i feel that they should have gone to bonzi more even when yao return and let him post up.no one could guard him not even anthony.

 

WTF are you taking about the only reason why we almost won this game because T-mac was NOT playing,.. Look at the shot selection the 2 past overtimes.. They took it INSIDE or drove to the basket.. T-mac would of started chucking them because he can't drive by anyone.... And that is the damn fact..... I loved this game it showed so much determination,excitement,heart, and most of the time smart basketball.

 

Tough loss, but Yao is still the man.

 

Is it possible that both teams take a loss in that situation?

 

Lots of heart and determination showed out there by the Rockets. T-Mac needs to learn some of that stuff from his teammates. Unfortunately, Hayes, Head, Alston, and Battier are just not talented enough to get the job done. Denver shot horribly and the Rockets were still not able to pull out a victory.

Great game by Yao. Good game by Bonzi and Brooks. The Rockets just need more offense. As TNT said, the only team in the NBA with only two starters averaging double figures in points. The Rockets need a legit 3rd scorer and somebody that can hit open shots from the perimeter.

 

I have no confidence in this team when it comes to a last second play.

So, it's obviously over when freakin' Carter makes that shot.

And what the hell were you doing leaving your feet like that Bonzi?

And what the hell were you doing fouling so early Shane?

GDammit that's frustrating. This could have been a game that would have really built some confidence.

Instead, it's just another downer.

 

good game, probably the best loss we've had. can't complain about a lucky shot

 

Good game against a tough team at home, signs of a real offense, Yao trying to take them home, multiple contributors...

 

If we had to lose, let it be a double overtime thriller loss. This was the best Rockets game so far, even if we did lose.

On the otherside, 5 players in double figures (Yao, Luther, Rafer, Battier, and Bonzi). Ball movement was better too.

 

this game will only give them more mental strength... i hate to make excuses but its def a good lost

 

Eh? I thought we were very resilient in a hostile environment. This would of been a win if not for that circus shot.

 

even though we didn't win maybe this is the game that changes the momentum for us. Everything, every ball etc. has been going against us maybe this time we start to get the good bounces and the breaks.

 

its a kick in the balls.


its what it feels like.



I like the ball movement though.

 

great effort, good game.

 

good loss, at least they compete when they fall behind going into 4 Qtr.

Every team can lose, even celtics, but the way they lost today is far better than those previous games, which are disasters with point margin 20 pts something...
