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

Costing us the game? It's halftime and it's 48-50

 

Brent Barry has been worthless up to this point on the court. I don't know how much he has been effective off the court with the young players.

 

yeah lets cry about injuries. Tmac is fine, this flu **** is bull**** in my opinion, many pro athletes play with much worst injuries

 

and we were UP BY 16. Whats your point?

 

Give Wafer some time and please no more Barry; also less T-mac & Artest. Let Head shoot some threes too, he's good at it.

 

Well... perhaps we can make a run at Lebron in 2010 . I'm sure it wouldn't be more than minimum wage salary.

 

1) You can't call Daryl Morey- Darly Moron-- that's just not smart to say that. You know how much he did for the Rockets? He got you, AB, Barry, Landry, Hayes, Scola, Artest, Battier. Calling him a moron for not signing Deke is pathetic.

2) Shane is needed, yes he is. So what, okay, i agree Ron is a good defender- he's good to replace Shane. But what Shane brings is not only defense, but hard-work. He doesn't play lazy and he works hard to get us some points. And i saw someone said, what does defense have to do with making lay-ups or shots. Ha, defense has everything to do with offense. Haven't you ever heard, good defense makes offense? Nuff' said.

 

If Yao and TMAC can have somewhat of a decent game, we win tonight, other wise we really have no chance unless one of our role players has a career night.

Yao just seems really slow and lacking confidence right now. Bynum cannot guard Yao, but Yao is making the kid look like an allstar

 

We are starting to get owned on the boards.

Granted, the Lakers will do that to most teams but if we want to be contenders, Morey needs to makes some moves to add length to our frontcourt.

You can't just keep expecting our undersized guys to outsmart and outwork players game in and game out. There are times when you just need that pure size.

 

He had a cold. Big whoop. The guy is just ... I don't know. I've defended him a lot, but this is tough for me to stomach.

And I don't want to hear anyone talking about the Lakers getting calls. They're just kicking our ass, plain and simple.

 

Yeah T-mac gotta play more aggressive. The few times he has drove to the basket he hasn't gotten the call.

He just looks sluggish.

 

put* it on...

 

Hey guys, turns out there was a few positives in this game as well. Anyone wanna talk about those?

 

tmac is fine. 2-3 shots rimmed out on him; 2 of the shots he had to take b/c they were buzzer beaters.

basically his J ain't working, go the damn line. stop jacking up jumpers.

the starting lineup outside of yao and scola is not producing offensively (ron is just pathetic).

they gotta play better.

 

good gracious, so much for good rocket fans eh?

let's talk about the "ups" besides the "downs" jeez.

scola is a true baller, he's catchin up wit manu, though they are different positions.

 

agree

 

I want to kill myself listening to these Laker homer announcers.

You can't preface every sentence with the word "again" if you never said anything in the first place.

I've seriously never heard such biased announcing. As much as I want to hear our announcers sound like they prefer a team in the game sometimes, I'm glad they spare us this charlatan chode fest that is the LA play by play team.

I wonder if there is such a thing as objective analysis that isnt just a magic trick. Nothing ever sounds inciteful or original. It's all canned, obvious commentary.

 

Positives are greatly outweighed by the negatives at this point.

We lost a 16 point lead and we're playing like ****. It's no moral comfort that we're "only" down by 2 at all. Let's start playing like a ****ing team again.

 

Does anyone have a streaming video link????? Mine just went out
