ClutchCity.net Game Thread: Rockets vs. Nuggets 3/29/2003

Rice needs to score 2 more pts then we have all players in double digit except Moochie.

 

I agree. Even though the Rockets won, it wasn't a good win. The Rockets still do not have an offensive strategy. They also committed many turnovers and mental mistakes. Against any other team, the Rockets would have lost tonight.

 

Ues, it is an ugly win. Good thing we are playing Denver at HOME.

 

As ugly as it was, it was a 13 pt win considering our starting C, PF, and SG combined for 8 - 28. All I can say is thank god for Cato, Francis, and MoT.

 

At least ugly wins are better than ugly losses.

 

Boooooya!!!! We won. finally.

Was it an ugly game? going to check out the stats. atleast we won, i would take an ugly game any day as long as it is a win.

GO ROCKS

I will be able to see rocks games on tv still!! thanks to the playoffs!

PLAYOFFS on ESPN/TNT.

 

not overly impressive, but i'll take it.

 

Now, I really do not see somthing call "playoff" from Mr. Mean's coaching skills!!!!

 

Mr. Mean really tried to distribute the scores to everybody evenly. BUT we are not Nets, Kings nor Blazers. It's really dumb to try to even the score. We need to rely our scoring to our key players with consistent passing game, NOT try to make everybody shoots!

 

Ugly game!!

Tons of Turnovers!!

But a win is a win!! I'll take this. Now let's hope that the Suns lose.

 

(FG's)
Yao was 3-8...no surprise...he is in a slump...stevie 7-14 ...

CATO?!!! 6-7!!!!! Man, THank god for Cato!!

loved those blocks in 4th quarter!

 

One stat stands out. Yao Ming: 15 minutes.

 

Larry Smith will start Cato next game I think.

 

You know, I don't think it will be a bad thing to have Cato start next game. Have Yao come off the bench. It could be a good thing for Yao. For now, that is. Yao is our future C. He is only a rookie, and so we should not demand too much from him. He needs to rest or something, because he has been terrible the last week.

 

Fire Smith!! Let Boki coach!! He's not playing anyways and he's Yao's best friend on the team so Boki will let him play!

 

15 minutes for Yao and 33 for Cato...Cato played much better than Yao, particularly because he played with intensity, while Yao is showing none at all. Yao has been, to put it kindly, been taking it up the ass from opposing centers in the last few games, but Cato hasn't backed down from anyone save Shaq (but who doesn't?).

You can call it bad coaching by Larry, but I call it riding your players who are playing well. There's no point in having Yao in the game, just so he can get minutes. May as well try to let him have as much spare energy as possible for the playoffs!

 

well, what can i say. Only 3 pages of game thread. People are just leaving because yao is not playing much.

 

ROX won? ROX has lost playoff already. Why? Go to hospital to ask RUDY T what a team play should be? Too sad to see his ROX team has been destroied by someone. Believe it or not, ROX is over.
Take care yourselves guys.

 

That's now something like 9 of our last 13 games where 5 or more players have scored in double figures. That's good, right?

I just hate that it seems like Francis has lost some of his offensive prowess. Yeah, Francis is my fav. player, but I (like most people here) also think it's important for a team to identify with 1 or 2 primary, massive scorers. The Rockets sorta have 1 and... 2 halfs... I wanna see Francis just putting up huge numbers, of course with much the same coming from Yao as he develops.

 

HA! I don't think so.
