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

Another game. Another moral victory.

 

Yao missed the two chances to win.
He was also blocked by camby for 4 times.
we cant blame him becuase he tried.

but we lost for Battier today with a 3-11 shot. and TO at the last and also let Anthony shot over him easily at the second half and two OTs.

Trade battier for a good option, i would agree on that.

 

i'll take a moral victory over a blowout loss anyday

 

i wish we could just surround yao with consistent shooters........easier said than done.

 

r we ready 2 trade T-mac after tonight's match? AD or XXX, think about it

 

Definitely. I am not upset about the loss, or the FG%, or missed opportunities. This is just the greatest game in this season, and they showed their true color. It should definitely be a turning point.

 

I love the hustle, ball moving and good shooting. I think this game will help us find our way to play.
And we got Luther and Aaron going!
Go rockets!

 

Yao Ming have regain my respect!

 

Yep, that about sums it up. The performance was even better than some of the wins we had.

The only complaint I have is they should've made more of the open threes.

There's a lot of positives to draw from this loss. Aaron Brooks looked so promising and did all the things that Rafer can't, except for his three-point shooting but that will come along. Massive props to Coach A for giving him PT, although a lot of it was out of desperation.

Luther had a very good game but still has a lot to improve on.

It does seem that the team plays more like a team when T-Mac's not there. Go figure.

 

you realize anthony can shoot over anyone in the league right?

 

Rockets ....12-34 3pt land

 

For all the talk about the negativity just because we're losing...there are a LOT of positives to this one.

I'm going to bed a very proud Rockets fan.

 

People will look at this game as the turning point of the season. Bonzi got it going and head got it going. And they showed nice movement and passing. A tough loss, very tough to swallow, but its a game that will help us.

 

fixed

 

I don't think this game is a turn around for ROX, even if players play very hard tonight.

In this team, only could Bonzi cut and lay-up. All other players just try 3point shoots.

 

it might be a turning pt, but will it once Mac comes back?

 

A close loss is tougher than a blowout. If the guys win in Chicago I'll be surprised.

 

True. He did a decent job on Anthony who finished with 37 points but shot like 13/32.

 

Battier hit a couple of BIG 3s late in the game so I forgive him for his sucky play in the first 4 quarters.. I just cant seem to understand why you foul a guy that early >_< panicked? argh.

 

great well fought out game. i like how we competed until the last second and never showed an ounce of giving up. i have supported t-mac for the past 4 years but now all i can say is we will be better off trading this guy and get even more help for yao. just look how well balanced the scoring was tonight. rafer with 18, head with 22, bonzi with 17 and yao with 26 and battier with 12...there was great ball movement and everyone was getting touches and involved in the offense.
