ClutchCity.net Game Thread: Jazz @ Rockets 2/11/2003

rudy Blows.

 

The pathetic thing is that the Rockets are probably going to lose in Utah tomorrow, and the Lakers play Denver back-to-back games, and we'll be sitting on the outside looking in. This is frustrating, stop sitting the start player out in key situations, and foul with a few seconds left! This is pathetic.

 

This was the most pathetic display of basketball I have ever seen from Terrence Morris.

Good 3 pointers, but if he hadnt airballed and screwed up with Ming before, we wouldn't have been down by 6 in the first place.

 

if we can't beat 'em at home, how are we supposed to beat 'em on the road?

 

WASTED EFFORT! What a friggin' let down!
I can't believe this....

 

Well the league has something to be ticked off at us for, we just gift wrapped the Lakers a playoff berth. Absolutely sickening.

 

This team just doesn't "GET IT". It is a "killer instinct". It is making CRITICAL FT in the 4th quarter. It is something that will cost the Rockets the playoffs....

I haven't watched the OT but I assume they are losing and have lost the game. That's a shame but that's the Rockets for you. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Too bad for Ming, he's having a great game but they still lose.
Where is Posey? Where is Griffin? Where is Mobley. All disappeared. This is NOT a loaded team. It is a team that has Steve and Ming and really come to thing about it, no-one else.

The worse part is Jazz had a ton of TO and yet still find a way to bet the Rockets.

 

Bone head Rudy T did it to us again. Hopeless Mo Taylor guarding Malone, T Morris taking all the shots in over time? What the &%&!!!! as good as francis has looked, that 40 year old geezer has torn him up in every way...say good bye to the playoffs, it's hopeless with this bone headed coach

 

I sincerely begin to belive Rudy T is a genuine MORON!!

 

OK I finally agree Rudy has to go, kick his ass clean out the door
Mobley can go too.

 

whoa! terrence morris?!?!?!

 

One last chance... Will miracle happen???

 

ok ok...13.4 secs... 1 shot... c'mon rocks!

 

What did Mobley do other then have an off night shooting!?

 

Give Yao the last shot please!!!

 

The longer we hold on to Mobley, the more his trade value drops. Right now, we'd be lucky to fetch a bucket of popcorn for him.

 

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKK!!!!
Why would Francis pass to Mobley when hes 2-12!!!!!!!!!!! I give up on this crappy team

 

Well what are the chances of the Denver beating L.A. tonight?

 

I say we trade Mobley to my old high school for a JV bench player and use of the weight room.

 

That was pretty ridiculously painful.

Let me say though that I don't blame Mobley on that last shot. He got the ball with a few seconds left, and all he could do is try to create and put up a shot. ALL of the blame, in my mind, lies in either Rudy T. or Francis. And just to be clear, I usually blame Cat... so this is a shift for me.

Rudy T. for designing a crappy ass play that didnt' give anyone an open look. No screens/picks I could see to get Francis/Morris an open jumper, AND not going inside to Yao. Remember: Jerry Sloan wasn't even coaching tonight, and Rudy gets out-coached on two plays? (End of regulation, end of game.)

Francis, in case Rudy did design such a play, for breaking off the play and improvising way too early.

And of course, they deserve even more blame for not getting Yao a single shot (and only one touch) in over-time.
