ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Lakers 11/9/2008

With Deke and Shane back, this team can win anyone on will. Book it. Now just undersized to the teams like Fakers,Blazers and Celtics.

 

You have Yao that can hardly run and a lazy tmac that takes happy jumpers.

You will never be effective unless those 2 hit their shots.

 

That's still a dumb reason to not have a backup C. You want a backup C if nothing else to prevent Yao from playing heavy minutes out there and in case Yao gets into foul trouble. Both have been occurring this season on a fairly frequent basis.

This season, we need a backup C even more because Yao is clearly not in game shape and clearly taken a "temporary" step backwards.

 

If you blow a 16 point lead like this then you don't deserve to win.
Our so called Big 3 are worthless tonight, should've had Deke for this game, he would've at least blocked some shots and gotten some rebounds. Also, RA needs to stop letting the guys doing what they want to do and force them to run the damn offense !! Artest should be on the post, not at the three point line; Yao should be on the post getting more touches, not only take 9 shots and move him to the top of the circle etc.
Bad execution on offense, terrible passing, p***y fouls, the dissappearance of our stars and no Deke are going to kill us. Watch out for the start of the third with our terrible starting 5, except for Scola, the Lakers are gonna come out blowing this thing wide open in the third.

 

artest and tmac cant make open jumpers when ppl double yao.

 

Does t-mac not show up in the 4th when we need him? huh? what was that? because...i'm pretty sure he was the one that kept us in the game vs. the POR and BOS in the 4th. Homersim

 

The expectations for the Rockets are high but the team needs more time to become a true team. I for one am not worried. The NBA season is damn long and I am sure the team will be fine come playoff time.

 

We can play well, I mean look at the 1st quater (28-16). We just need to keep that lead. Now all we need is Tracy and Ron playing their games. So fare we haven't seen that.

 

Right now, T-Mac = The Big Liability more than Yao.

 

Hakeem's statue in front of the court plays better than tmac

 

There was a time when T-Mac and Kobe were comparable.

It's not even close anymore... more than ever.

 

I was talking about the lakers

 

and? hes costing us the game so far, hes MAKING 20 MIL A YEAR. Hes shooting 1-6 so far and 0-5 the other night. thats just not acceptable

 

They are on the road, they are doin' ok...just need to be more proactive at getting to the free throw line, though...

 

With all due respect, Mr. "I LIKE TO TYPE IN ALL CAPS TO SIGNIFY MY FRUSTRATIONS!!!", Battier is our "Glue Guy". If you have never played organized sports, then I wouldn't expect you to understand how important that is, in addition to his D and the 3's from the wings.....

 

Tracy McGrady has played like total crap the last couple games.

 

If mcgrady really did have the flu, (flu like symptoms is such a pansy diagnosis) then it's obvious he hasn't gotten a ton of time to heal from last fridays game.

Sigh. We're the walking wounded, lol.

 

seriously, t-mac has regressed significantly.

 

Jesus H. Christ. You have exactly 7777 posts.

 

It is just a jersey...maybe Yao should but it on, though?
