ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Sonics 1/23/2008

tmac was not the player of the game tonight. it was carl landry. we made the run when he entered the game. dude was a BEAST. we had a 10 pt deficit and he made that ridiculous layup underneath the basket that stopped the bleeding and brought it to 8.

he needs to start playing 25 mins a game.

 

I don't know how many more of these games I can handle. Those 3s by Tmac and rafer almost gave me a heart attack. What a crazy final 6 mins. Unbelievable game by tmac, he carried us in the end when everything seems hopeless. Good game overall by Tmac, Yao, and Battier. A much needed win and we pulled through (luckily...).

 

I think its too get some traction, haha! I see kids at my university's rec center do it all the time

 

t-mac haters can suck it..... people want to trade him for scraps ? pfffft

yao and t-mac are great....if our role players can become more consistent then we can reach our potential.

for those of you complaining that it should be so close against seattle, keep in mind they also took the lakers to the wire last week and kobe had to drop almost 50 to beat them. they are still an NBA team and "any given night..." as they say, they were on fire.

great win for the rockets because it was needed, and also it was a real gut check to keep fighting and take it.

rockets are only a game and half out of 8th now I BELIEVE !!!

Good Win, thats what im talkin about..ahhh T-Mac's still got it...just needs to spruce up those freethrows a lil...

 

I hope RA learns something from the last play. If they are in the position that the other team is going to need to foul, the ball should always go to player with the best FT % on the team (Yao). It shouldn't be that difficult to get him the ball .. he is 7'6".


On the other note ..TMAC IS AWSOME! Glad to see him out there. He needs to really start over Bonzi. Bonzi is more effective off the bench.

Also, I call for Landry over Hayes. Landry really can finish around the rim, and he gives out the same hussle playes has Hayes.


Props to Rafer tonight too.

 

My favorite moment of the game: T-Mac screaming at Sonics bench after he makes the final lay-up.

THE SWAGGER IS BACK!!!!!

 

Hey my game cut out at 19 seconds left. Essentially, T-mac dished to Alston, who hit a three putting us up by four, then Durant (I think) scored dropping the lead to two. Could anybody tell me what happened after that? Thanks.

 

Actually, I disagree. I thought they were really good -- very fair, very unbiased, very complimentary towards the Rockets and especially Yao Ming. I would be more than happy to watch their telecast again . . . the only thing I did really dislike was "Supes", but I can overlook that, b/c they were really good otherwise.

 

Landry baby!

 

Tmac missing the FTs wasn't pretty, but he is still 90% why we won this game.

Great to see a comeback win, we haven't had one like this in a long time.

 

whoever thinks yao should be in for the last defensive play is an idiot. Any coach that has a working brain would just go pick and roll on him for an open jumpshot.

 

I love landry's emotions. I'm glad we have someone who cares so much about winning.

 

Landry is sooooooo much better than the chuck man, offensively~

 

Now that my breathing has returned to normal, I can relax and get to bed -- it's almost 1 a.m.

Rockets win!

 

the rockets need to stop playing down to the competition

 

T-Mac missed 2 free throws and Durant's final 3 point hit back iron

 

dont mean to burst yalls bubbles after a win but tmac only played this hard because of durant. he'll revert back to his 7-20 shooting days come next game and people will want to trade him again.

 

FTs: Yao 11/12. Everyone else 2/8. Are you kidding me? Why are we so terrible at FTs?
