ClutchCity.net Game Thread: Rockets @ Timberwolves 2/4/2003

Steve just said something to Yao in Chinese. I read that Steve says be more agressive a lot to Yao in Chinese. I bet that's what he said.

 

Steve says, "yao good pass" after yao gave him an assist.

 

yao has only 2 shots...............what the hell.........back to the old ways

 

That pick that TMo had on Hudson was brutal. 100% clean too.

 

Really? When did SF become fluent in Chinese?

 

COOL it guys, good game so far, not great, but good. SF is playing more and more like a real pg. He does try to get others involved. Even Cat is letting the offense come to him more. The passes are still not smooth though. All and alll, not bad. There is real hope, this will be a great team real soon.

 

Twolves has a good plan defending against Yao. They tried really hard to cut the entry pass to Yao, and once Yao got the ball, they went doubling immediately. But whenever Yao touched the ball,
good things happened. Rox and Rudy need to find way to get the ball to Yao or everybody shoots the light out.

As well as Twolve played, it is a 45:5 tie. We will win!

 

Good work to the Rockets. You guys can't expect a 20 point blowout every single game. Mobleys playing smart ball. He's taking shots, but shots that flow within the offense. He's not ISOing at all. Griffin's taking far too many threes and that's hurting the Rockets, and they're entry passes to Yao in the low post weren't well thrown, and they seemd to stray away from him for awhile. The last few minutes though were beautiful again to watch. They were finally able to kick it back into Yao, and they seemed to get back into a good flow again. I think the Rockets will go on two nice runs in the second half and keep a consistent 10 to 15 point lead. I just got a lingering feeling they're going to make some good defensive stops, and get hot. Maybe it'll actually happen

 

Only 3 shots for Yao.Are the Wolves double teaming him or pushing him out of the post? Why can't Francis get him the ball?Thanks for your posts guys I'm not getting the game tonight.

 

Really? How come I did not hear any of it.

 

Francis has been able to give him the ball, but he has been double teamed a lot.

 

Twolves have a good plan defending him and Rox did not
try that hard to get him the ball. Dribbling, dribbling ...
particularly Cat.

 

I would like Mobleys give 4 shot to Ming, Rocket will up at least by 2 point.

 

Francis should try to penetrate and make the defense collapse and dish the ball to Yao or Griffin in the post if we are having problems with the double team.Yao also needs to try to shake away from defenders more quickly to get more shots.

 

eddie g better come with stronger **** than that.....his vert is like 2 in off the ground.....prob lower than yao

 

Griffin is taking way too many shots!

 

We really need an enforcer in the middle, and we miss Cato.
That KG dude really had some attitudes, why don't we put him on the ground a couple of times.

 

what a surprise...stevie with a turnover

 

oh my...why the hell does girrin think he can shoot 3s? even i can hit the rim....ok take eddie out

 

Fu*k Griffin.
