[ch 2 video] Rockets interviews after Spurs loss (3/30)

Damn, Tmac must have been reading this board if you know what I mean. Good job, you guys.

 

Maybe it's just my comp but these videos always seems to have low volume.

 

its a good thing we only have 2 more truly hard games this season because any more like this and we would be in trouble even if we made the playoffs which we would. we should go at worst 7-2 through the next 9 with losses to phx and maybe utah but other than that we should be good. so we will just have to wait and see what they have to say when we win those games.

 

He pretty much repeated exactly what I said in the other thread. He's right: the game plan WAS to force the Spurs to shoot from the outside. Well, guess what happens? That's exactly what they did and they couldn't miss. The game was really over at the end of the first quarter. Once the defending champs get in that kind of rhythm, with Parker and Finely doing most of the damage, then you're toast on most nights.

We didn't shoot well, but even if we had this game was never in question...

 

I really think Shane should be the team captain. I hope when he retires he coaches.

 

Did you notice the pop-up volume slider on the little speaker?

 

I don't think thats it. It has always been this way for me on three laptops so far. Yes, I know laptops speakers aren't great, but its exceptionally low compared to a lot of the other web content I watch without issue.

 

You're right, the sound quality isn't great but you should be able to hear it pretty clearly if you turn up the volume on the media player and your laptop.

 

Naw i have the same thing and im on a home computer with pretty good speakers. I turn to speakers almost completely up and the volume clicker in the video to 100 %. For all other things the volume level is just fine, so i don't know what the problem is with their site.

 

T-Mac knows he had pretty good jumpers all night long and he knows those were easy misses for him.

At least the good news is that his shoulder was fine.

 

I don't think his shoulder is fine. He's just tired of all the bashing when he answers the questions, and he wanted to leave.

 

My thought exactly.

 

Well maybe but I'm not so sure. Earlier he said it had been sore so why shouldn't he say the same (if it really was) yesterday...?

 

I didn't watch the interview, but I watched the entire broadcast, and he was grimacing a lot pre-game and during the game.

On a side note, I did like that after the blowout, he was on the court with his arm iced up kind of saying "it's OK" and giving "daps" to his teammates coming off the court.

Instead of just walking off to the lockeroom early to ice up, he stayed there, and was the last person on the team walking in. I liked that a lot.

 

hilltopper, i agree that the sound is always low - and to be honest, it's a relatively easy and quick thing to adjust the sound levels of your clips in a video editor. doing so would make these interviews a much more enjoyable experience.

 

Yeah I turn that all the way up and then my pc volume all the way up as well. But then some fooker aol instant messages me and its freaking loud.

 

Well I saw grimacing during pregame and in the 1st guarer but than he was pretty ok at his drives.

I mean look, he could use his shoulder as an excuse and that would be very easy cause he could have said: 'Damn my shoulder was sore as hell that why I wasn't able to hit anything. It hurts and that why I was off'

But he didn't do that.

 

For those who watched the game, McGrady's shoulder was clearly a problem. He was constantly grabbing at it or moving his left arm uncomfortably.

All we can do is hope it is healed in time for the playoffs and that it won't keep the team from getting a few more wins down the stretch. We need McGrady over the last 9 games. We haven't locked up a playoff spot yet.
