ClutchFans Game Thread: Hornets @ Rockets 1/13/2008

If it was Micheal Doleac, Chandler would have fouled out earlier. This is because 1) Doleac does not stand significantly taller than the other league's centers and 2) is not Asian.

 

WOW!!!

Interesting to hear someone say with T-Mac we win!!!

The majority of this board wants to trade him.

 

I wonder what was the point spread because they obviously had their own agenda in this game.

 

We did play good, can't say I'm too mad at this loss, except for all those missed layups. Got good looks at the end, just didn't go down. The Hornets are good, give them credit.

 

Questional coaching and a couple of bad calls cost us this game.

 

Should've put in Hayes or Scola to defend that.

 

Adelman should have subbed out Yao and put in Hayes on the last defensive play when CP went for the easy layup.

Also, we can't get a better shot than a Yao 3 at the end??? Poor execution once again.

 

Chuck Hayes as great as he is defensively is very weak against quicker power forwards with jump shots like West. His offensive shortcomings show even more with these type of matchups.

As much as Scola was having problems against West, just like Hayes was, he could at least provide some scoring.

Not too bad of a loss considering the offense was mostly just Yao this game.

 

Lol.they couldn't get a three, so a 2 is better than nothing.

 

Damn, so close...so close. They stayed in it, though, so I'm not hatin'

 

The non calls kill execution, we should have been shooting free throws down the stretch. The non calls killed the flow,we would have been up

 

freakin refs those two noncalls on yao are bs if that was shaq they would've laid out the red carpet to the freethrow line.

i know ra was trying to match up with offensively whe he took out scola but did he really think the hornets coach and chris paul would not see that?!?!? cmon this the nba not high school ball....bad call by ra

 

I'm thinking the exact same thing that Adelman was screaming at the ref: "FIVE POINTS!!" They let Chandler get away with murder out there, and we still had a chance. The dagger was CP's last layup. The matchup was a catch-22. We were fast enough to guard them, but gave up some of our offensive rebounding which could have helped with Yao's last shot. We should have had this game put away, with or w/o McGrady. Tisk.

 

Two Noncalls, 3 Yao's missing FTs, one back Iron in-and-out hook shot.

 

And what will Traci McLady do? Jack up low IQ contested shots that bricks all day and then fake an injury? And of course, killing team chemistry! blah blah blah!

No thanks! We would've got blown out if McLady starts. I say we need to send him to the development league first.

Oh and the last play, so that's the famous Rick Adelman's offense?! What a joke!

 

Even if the referring was biased,we collapsed in the 4th quarter. They got steals and layups.We couldn't stop them or make baskets.
I hope they don't get disheartened and continue to try to do better. That's all that we can ask for.

 

RA hurt his own team today by taking out Brooks and playing Head and Rafer to much in the fourth. By the time he put Brooks back in the momentum had swung back in favor of the Hornets. Rafer had an off game and Brooks should have taken more of his minutes.

 

Fixed!

 

The refs won the game.

 

How many games we won against Hornets with macgrady?
