Where was Jermaine Taylor during the Wizards game? My first thread, please don't flame me out of teh innerwebs. At the start of the second half, after Yao had already went out and Battier had just gotten hit in the eye, Bill and Bull were commenting on just how thin the Rockets were on the bench at that point. Miller, Scola, Budinger, Martin, and Ish were on the floor at the time. Bull said that there were only two guys over there on the bench, Hill and Jeffries, then corrected himself to say Courtney Lee is also over there, so that made 3 guys on the bench. In actuality, Hayes was also over there when the camara showed the bench during Scola's free throws, so that made 4. Yao and Battier were in the locker room and I assume Kyle Lowry was too at that point because he was not on the bench (Though he obviously returned later). I realize that is 12 guys, so we had 3 inactive. Taylor, Brooks, and Patterson. Brooks is injured, so he wasn't there. Injured inactives dont normally travel with the team. Patterson was just sent down to the Vipers so he wasn't there. Where was JT? Obviously inactive, but he wasn't there was he? I never saw him on the bench. Wouldnt he be with the team even if he was inactive? They dont decide that until right before the games most of the time. Did anyone see him on the bench, or know anything about where he was? He wasnt sent down to the Vipers too and I just didnt hear about it was he? And I know everyone heard Bill mention that Dampier's agent was at the game, so is something brewing there again? Especially now that Yao may be out for a bit.
Its very disappointing to have been a member of a forum for over three years, a lurker for years before that (yes I believed that Hakeem was coming out of retirement on April 1st), and even to donate money and at one time be a contributing member, then to one day have a question that you think is threadworthy (unlike the TONS of other worthless garbage threads that are left in the GARM), type it all out, make sure you dont have any spelling errors or mess anyones name up, lest you be humiliated in front of the entire clutchfans community. Then post that thread, only to have it moved within a matter of seconds. Then you spend an hour trying to find it, now finally, here it lies, merged at the end of a stickied post game thread that doesnt move up and down with the new posts, and no one will ever see nor post in again. Believe me, I run another board myself and have helped run a few others, and I know the hassles of threads being in the wrong forum, or 20 threads about the same topic. But it sure doesnt encourage people, who could turn into very good long term posters that really add to the community, when someone just ups and moves their thread without any notice or cause. However, after saying all that, this post will probably get moved to the feedback forum, and then I wont be able to find it anymore either. /soapbox
I don't know if this has been posted, but only 2 Rockets went to the free throw line last night as opposed to 6 Wizards. Hmmm.......
I remember last year when we played a whole season without yao. we had a good record last year. it also said online that we had the best record without an all-star. all we need to do is to keep our players healthy.
The refs sucked a big one last night but the Rockets still should have had it. Just have to make your layups.
Not throwing a fit. Just expressing frustration. And you notice that not a single person has replied to the question. Yet there is a thread about Ish Smith not getting back into the end of the game that deserved its own thread.
