Clutchfans Game Thread: Sixers @ Rockets 1/28/2009

yao has a bad game.

 

this is our dreaded 4th quarter..hang in there!

 

Can we get a freakin' rebound?

 

yao is getting fouled fellas.....I am not taking up for by no means but it is what it is

 

you'd think landry was the biggest scrub ever with the calls he's gotten tonight. a weak offensive foul when he was posting a smaller guy, getting hit on a dunk with no call, gets that loose ball foul just fighting for the ball. meanwhile we get jack on the other end.

 

boy
these rebounds are killing us
a marcus camby type rebounder is the final piece of the puzzle

 

The Sixers take some crazy shots.

 

the refs had a bad game.

yao has his arms held on every post up. all game.

 

that title belongs to kwame brown

 

From what ive seen (just got home) were playing really aggressive.



Has this been just the past couple minutes or the whole game?

It seems yao is showing some tenacity on the O boards. Or atleast he is swiping at the guys who already have the ball.

 

Yao is out of his game right now... Im a fan, but the two game break is def showing

 

But he is doing his interior defense.

 

We struggle to put teams away.

 

Marcus Camby is an overrated rebounder. He pushes his own teammates to get rebounds >_>

 

Hey, I'm willing to give credit where it's due. T-Mac and Artest have done a much better job of playing the offense this game.

But it's also true that their play doomed the Rockets against the Knicks the other night.

And it's also true that the Sixers were getting dunks/layups because Yao wasn't in the game, just as it's true that the Rockets were missing his presence in the low post on the other end.

All of those things should be pretty obvious to anybody with even half a brain and a passing knowledge of basketball. If you've got an issue with that that's your problem.

 

This is looking very similar to last year.

McGrady + Scola were easy money last year. During the 22 win streak, Scola knew where to go, and McGrady knows where to pass.

 

yao brooks and alston 4-21 lovely.

 

OH man that sign is hella mean. ANDRE UGLYDALA!

 

When Artest isn't selfish the movement is good

 

Actually I have to agree with you. Bill pointed out earlier in the game how players are hooking their arms into Yao's in orderto hold him down when he is trying to rebound and when he is trying to shoot.

I can only assume and hope that the Rockets orginization are making weekly complaints and sending in every game tape with examples of this to the league office about this.
