ClutchCity.net Game Thread: Jazz @ Rockets 12/23/2002

Mobley and his jacking up of 3s in the last ten games. 14/51 = .275!!!

 

You know the contenders and pretenders in December? Man, you're good.

 

Rudy's going to keep this team from moving forward.

 

.....It's not Mobley's fault.

The Mailman just delivered.

At the very end, maybe Mobley missed two 3's very badly. But we shoulda won easily. We were winning by so much. And tonight's crowd was loud and happy. And we lost! To UTAH! But they beat Dallas at Dallas. That is pretty impressive.

Who are we playing next?

 

Their forwards outscored us 63:25. Play more Posey and he will put more pressure on harpring.

 

I'm so sick of seeing lisa's stupid f-ing grin on her face after we lose, i wan't to slap her. Let's all start a pool and at the beginning of each game we will bet how many turnovers francis will have in the game. This team is just like portland. full of talent and no results.

 

Patience, guys!!!!!!!

 

The most disgusting loss so far this season!! I start to think this game was intended to lose. Did Rudy put his life saving money on this game? This was too out of ordinary. I hope I'm wrong.

 

Man hold up!

Abuse is not good. You are too crazy. lol

ANYWAYS. We did a great job on them. Malone is just a !@#$%. If you watch the replay, they hold our guards so much and bundle up so it's difficult to keep up with them.

I don't think Steve Francis made TOO many turnovers. The TURNOVER OF THE NIGHT was the one when he passed the inbound pass to Moochie but JOHN STOCKTON picked it off. That old All-time leader in steals...

 

I was happy with our offensive play in the sense that we passed the ball around and got good shots as evidenced by our shooting percentage. IMO, we lost the game because of two reasons: (1) Jazz offensive rebounding and (2) Jazz points off the 21 turnovers. I have to give the Jazz credit for playing consistent ball and executing their offense. The Rockets need to take care of the ball better and rebound more aggresively. It doesn't cut it when no player other than Yao gets more than 3 rebounds. EG got 2 rebounds (0 defensive) in 40 minutes of play -- inexcusable. Their front line simply manhandled and outhustled our front line.

 

53.8% 26.7% 100.0%

and yet we lost?

This gotta be a joke

 

Yao and Francis sat out toooooooooo long at the beginning of the 4th quarter and let the Jazz tie it up and that might have given them the boost!

 

our opponent's forwards killed us again... if rox doesnt get some powerforward and smallforward who can REALLY play D and help yao get some rebounds ... they will never beat those teams with good forwards (kevin garnett, elton brand...) ... i dont know why rudy t doesnt try cato on the pf position... i think that might help...just like the twin tower spurs have

 

Posey played only 9 minutes, and Harpring dropped 25 on us. I don't get it, I just don't get it!

 

We dropped two straight to two borderline playoff teams. Hopely this wakes up those who ask "can we win it all this year?"

 

It is the coaching staff which is making us a joke against mediocre teams in the nba. Rudy is the blame, i knew this game was over when Rudy played to Utah's one and only strong game with those horrible fourth quarter match ups

 

Big big mismatch. Rudy should have had Posey on Harpring. CAT couldn't do crap on him.

 

it's getting old. With each pathetic loss mounting, it's more and more evident that it's time for Rudy to go. I'm sick of him. He's horrible.

 

You got to be kidding. Jass are no chump. They can still contend. They took the Dallas at home man.

 

The main reason of our loss again is that fu ck ing NORRIS. He made a lot of turnovers. Another thing is the lackluster play of our PF. Griff is hot in the 1st qtr but faded thru the game. Mo is not the type of PF i want. I want a defensive and banging PF with rebounding prowess! I'm an avid fan of the rockets but up to this time I'm still not sure if they're truly the one really woth watching...oh my!!!
