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

I won't resort to cursing like someone.............. But this game flat out sucked. When are people going to realize that Rudy is the problem. Plain and simple.

 

At least the Suns lost...

 

GOD...
USUALLY I POST LIKE HELL......18 POSTS IN 10 MINUTES PER DAY..BUT I HAVE GIVEN UP. THE ROCKETS CANNOT MAKE THE PLAYOFFS. SOMEONE WARN ME WHEN THEY GET BETTER.

Okay. Steve Francis should not have missed that free throw. Yao was too tired..he did enough. Malone is still unstoppable. That little 40 year old man is still good. GOD. THAT WAS ONE LUCKY SHOT. Now why didn't we foul? Cuz our coach....GOD. Their assistant coach outsmarted Rudy. AND MOBLEY
GOD. Don'T TALK ABOUT MOBLEY.
We were going to win LORD. But it felt like the Jazz controlled the game most of the time.
BUT MAN...THAT SUCKED. I have given up.
The Rockets...

My plan is. Get Jason Collier to start a fight with Karl Malone. They both get ejected. Then get Hawkins to knock out John Stockton. LORD. Please do something. Cato should have fought. Then we woulda won. The Jazz owned us. HOW CAN WE POSSIBLE WIN TOMORROW?

We are definitely out of the playoffs.

I'm gone forever. lol

This post can't describe my happiness and frustration and pisseoffness. But actually, I feel better already.

Well this will be my last post.

(THANK THE LORD)

I HATE THE UTAH JAZZ.

Goodbye.

 

[B]with 19 team assists, the rox are lucky they were only beaten by 2 points. the system is not working. 35 assists for utah, 19 assists for the rox. utah executes, rox collapse.[/B]

[B]rudy's system does not work. do you hear me, LES!!!!.[/B]

 

Obviously he 'heard' the Big O!!

TOLD YOU, Mobley has to go...

 

You Rudy bashers are pathetic.

 

forget about trading anyone!!! will anybody listen to this guy???!!! FIRE Rudy T!!!! Us fans do not deserve this.

 

We have a successful plan for the game ending, that is
YM makes a screen, SF gets the ball, whether to shoot 3 or
nail it to open YM. <b>That play worked again and again, we forced Laker to OT by that play.</b>

Why?Why?Why?Why?Why?Why?Why?
Changed to Cat?

Fire someone or trade someone, the team can not go along
with this roster.

 

man

 

This was not Rudys fault, at all. We just got out hustled and outplayed by and older and wiser team in the Jazz. What's new?

I'm not losing faith in my Rox, but damn...Cutino gives me freakin migranes!

 

Mobley is definately at fault here. He had a pretty decent look at a 3 pointer off a pass from Francis, but since his shot was off the whole night, he elected to drive instead.

The sad thing is, if MObley had taken the shot, then everyone would say "Omg he was so off tonight, he should have realized this and driven to the bucket instead of shooting." It's a lose-lose situation either way, but I say, if it's a good look, you can't blame the guy for taking it... and Mobley had a good look that he passed up.

I will talk about 2 positives that I saw tonight, as opposed to discussing the negatives:

1.) Yao was very aggressive, took it inside nearly every time, and generally used that 300 pound frame a lot more.

2.) REPOSTING - Yao got the ball in the post, backed down a bit, passed it back out, and immediately got the ball back in an even better position. I haven't seen this ever before from the Rockets, and I think it could GREATLY improve our use of Yao. Yao isnt that effective when he gets pushed out, but he is very hard to stop inside since he's started using his hook shot.
key

 

What killed us was that play where Yao was blatantly fouled on the 1 ft hook shot, and no call was made. oh yeah, and that ft that steve missed. also that play where mo took it strong with lots of contact, no call, then jazz fastbreak the other way.

 

Pathetic??????? You have got to be kidding me. Did you watch the game? Oh yeah blame it on the referrees.

 

*Cough! Cough! Hack!*

"Oh my God, John! Look! Someone's choking!"
"What? Where? Oh, don't worry, that's just the Rockets. That happens all the time."

Make no mistake, I still love my Rockets, but how many dumb plays can a team make? Did Cuttino have money placed on the Jazz? Since when is Terence Morris, a career...19% three point shooter? our go-to guy? Clutch threes...but seriously not clutch airball and other misses. Sigh...Steve was 10 of 17, and 3 of 4 on threes. I'd take anything he put up over a shot by Mobley at that point. Just...stupidity at it's finest. And against the Jazz of all teams...the most reviled team in the league, next to the Lakers. I can just see Stockton and Malone laughing and celebrating on the plane back to Utah. Bastards.

I like to end on positive notes though...did anyone else notice the ZERO turnovers by Steve? Not many assists, but this was good step for Steve-O.

 

Would it just not be logical with 15 sec left to go inside and if the double comes(which it likely would have), live with that shot instead of waiting for a double on an extremely predictable iso play which leaves no chance for a rebound, put back much less a good shot? Rudy T has personally lost about 5 games because of his bone headed decisions....Mo Taylor can't guard my mom and it's not like he was doing much on offense so why not let Cato(who did a decent job) or Griffin(long arms) play Malone? Playing a two man game with Morris and Yao, what the #%#!!! The Jazz(as much as I hate them) play organized ball as it should be played. Slone knows how to get the most out of his players and it shows. Rudy has ALWAYS been criticized because of his sorry offense and lack of plays (even when Hakeem was around)...There were always extremely predictable but Hakeem was good enough to hide Rudy's sorry coaching skills. A lot of past players complained about no movement on offense. The only way he can save his job now is to trade mobley and get another low post presence. Then he can go back to the inside(wait for the double team) and find the open man offense. FIRE RUDY T!!!

 

Rudy outcoached again - this time by Sloan's backup. We got 19 assists...they got 35! Duh.

Any question who the better coached team was? This is toooooooooooo painful and I gotta hang this one right around Rudy's neck. I'm really getting depressed. Even resetting expectations hasn't made me feel a damn bit better.

Its about what I expected. It is becoming that I can almost script the Game. Yao Ming starts playing a non offensive role and the Franchise and Mobley Show kicks in. You know just as I do how to fix the Rockets. How is it that nobody in the Rox Organisation can?

 

Thank you!!!!!!!! Rudy sucks!!!!

 

I just don't understand Rudy T. Mobley played such a lousy game today but he stayed on the court for 45 mins, longer than anyone else.
