ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Clippers 11/7/2008

who else is moving that really shows that tracy isn't moving?

i don't see artest, landry, aaron, rafer, or anybody else moving around the court. why is it that b/c our offense is "stagnant," it's b/c of tracy. when tracy was out, you saw how it was.

you saw in one play when tracy was out, both artest AND yao just walked up the court and in no hurry to set up the play.

 

Yeah, seeing Artest take 9 more shots in the 1st half after a game where T-Mac went for 30/8/7 irked me a bit.

 

Rockets look awful. I don't care if they're tired from playing less than 24 hours ago...there's no excuse for this team to play like a bunch of slugs. They can't block out. They can't play defense. They can't pass the ball. It's hard to watch.

 

If you blook at these guys posts, it is mostly consists of mcgrady bashing. just ignore him.

 

OMG Yao only has 10pts at the half. WTF is wrong with him. What a slacker. McGrady only has 2 pts. We should trade him. Our season is doomed.



Some of the threads these days. I wonder if yall overreact this much in real life.

 

man u all cry so much

 

We are up by eight....

 

Yeah, Mcgrady usually has good second halves after he establishes a rhythm. He has not been trying to find his offense which is both a positive and a negative. We have enough scorers around him to beat teams like the Clippers but tmac needs shots to find a rhythm and start scoring. He did a good job at not forcing anything early and trying to get everyone else involved.

But one problem that I have noticed is that tmac is trying to post up, but he is not receiving the lob pass. We should look to post tmac more in the second half to get him easy shots so he can find a rhythm.

 

tracy is playing VERY unselfish right now. in 2 plays that he tried to post up, and he knows he's being doubled, he just moves out and gets yao and landry the ball.

if that's "stagnant" offense, then hell be it. if sharing the ball with your teammates is bad basketball, then hell we should trade tmac for ricky davis right now.

 

The second unit with Ron and Yao has played the Adelman offense better than the starting unit. Landry, Artest are moving. I've seen them cut. Tracy just stands at the perimeter if he's not involved.

 

Excatly. Artest has played well tonight but that doesn't mean McGrady take 3 shots. There is just no way. Gotta get him going in the 3rd and it will be a blowout.

 

Watch Barry next time he is out there. He runs a lot harder on both ends despite his age. Of course, he doesn't play as many minutes so he can do that.

Brooks is always moving his feet and Scola does a good job too given his lack of athleticism.

Yes, T-Mac is not alone but he is clearly the guy that moves the least and when he does, he is going at half-speed most of the time.

Yao at least tries. He is just immobile.

 

i love the rockets but have to say that there is one bad thing about bein a rockets fan. you have to share the title of rockets fan without some of the most negative, fair-weather, turn-on-their-players-in-a-split-second people. now most of the fans on here are great and actually loyal. they choose to post legitimate concerns instead of whining about every little mishap during every single game. so quit all the b****in all the time and only post somethin if it's worth posting

 

We are playing downright awefull basketball. on defense the clippers are just terrible and thats the reason why we are leading.

 

that was lame....crapper is still crapper...

 

new posters. we went through all the things they are going through now in the past. oh well... i guess we have to go through it all again.

 

Word, fattedcalf, word.

 

one analyst from clippers said clipper is ganna get their first win, rockets should prove him wrong

 

Way to exaggerate and totally ignore the situation at hand. Are you even watching the game? Can you for a second look at the decisions the Rockets are making these past few games?

 

Barry looks pathetic dude. he hardly moves and is consistantly is beaten off the dribble or is horrible at contasting jumpshots.
