Clutchfans Game Thread: Rockets @ Raptors 1/2/2009

This is going to end bad, not the game, its already bad, I mean the season. LEts have Artest go crazy and run into the stands! That would be funny.

 

I feel bad for Mutombo, he had the opportunity to go play for Boston or San Antonio, two teams that play with passion and care what type of effort they give out on the court.......and he chose the Rockets............

His agents are calling him right now with the, "I told you so........."

 

Buy out???

 

I don't get it. We have Hayes, Alston, Ron, Shane, Yao, and now DEKE, all of them are supposed to be leaders in the locker room! Why is the world would intensity, would energy ever be a problem for us? We have high energy guys in Brooks and Landry and Scola, hell, our entire roster is full of hustle. Why is this happening?!

 

This game reminds me of last year's back to back in TO & Philly. Don't know whats worse but it's certainly very ugly, anyway Rockets better come to play tomorrow, and T-Mac, you better wake up.

 

This is what I think and you guys can book it ! T-Mac does not want to play in Houston anymore ! Why he would suck and drop his value is beyond me but he just goes through the motions ! I wouldn't be surprised if he is traded at the deadline !

 

I like Von but he is not the answer either, he was shooting less than 40pct last time I looked. He's a role player not a starter.

 

no defense played tonight

 

rofl at Wafer leading Rockets in scoring, thats just sad.

 

Theres only one problem Atlanta is much better than Toronto

 

dude needs to start tomm night

 

I dont know about running in the stands, but I'd put money on Ron calling some one out real soon.
He is the only one playing with passion, and if all else fails he is in a contract season and needs to make an excuse for the teams poor play.

Von Wafer starts tomorrow.

 

we should let T-mac out until he is full recover. with him in court and starting lineup. the rythm is out of tone. everything will mess up. RA should learn something from D'antonai.

 

was Yao crying??

 

Start. That. Man.

Adelman you damn goon.

 

If he wasn't, he should be.

 

You want to know why people love Francis? This was the team that won 45 games in a tough WEST.


Starters:

STEVE FRANCIS
CUTTINO MOBLEY
MAURICE TAYLOR
HAKEEM OLAJUWON (very old)
SHANDON ANDERSON

Reserves:

WALT WILLIAMS
KENNY THOMAS
MOOCHIE NORRIS
MATT BULLARD
KELVIN CATO
CARLOS ROGERS

Say what you will about ISO-ball and all that, one of the joys watching that team was that you can just tell the guys on the floor loved to play and didn't give a damn who they were against. They played hard everytime, win or lose and fans appreciate that even if outcomes isn't always ideal. This performance by the Rockets is just sickening.

 

What a dunk by the Player of the Game!!!

Everybody else knew to put in Wafer but Adelman is an idiot!!!

 

At least he would have tried to block Moon on that dunk and not usher him in.

 

A 12 - 20 team and we just made them look like title contenders.

F**k you, Rockets, for wasting my time watching that pathetic effort.
