ClutchCity.net Game Thread: Mavericks @ Rockets 2/21/2003

The Mavs are better, but not 19ppg better.

This is yet another poor showing from the Rockets pathetic role players, a horribly coached game from Rudy, and an example of atrocious officiating.

 

I blame Rockets coach, he really didn't even try to win this game.

 

I can't believe what Rudy has in his head, why is so hard to play Yao 3 more minutes in the 4th quarter when rox is still in the game? what is the f&&king points to bring him back with 6min left and rox down by 15pts?????
can he make a change for once for the sake of his a**? what a f&&k drunk!!!!!!!!
rox has no hope with him on board.

 

I've had it with Rudy!

 

yeah, he should've brought yao back earlier. yao for a stretch of the 3rd qtr. had the rockets last 9 pts.

yao is a bit off tonight, but he's not getting too many calls. it seems like he's getting hacked on every play though. mavs are trying to rough him up.

 

Nick just told Mooch, "Sit!"

..."Good boy."

 

rox got +13 off rebounds but can not turn most of them into scores. Yao and Taylor are partly responsible for this!

 

Thank you! It took Yao three quarters to start being aggressive.

About time!

 

I am shocked Rudy didn't wait for us to be 20 points down with 4 minutes left to put yao back in the game. I am officially sick of Rudy.

 

when people pulling your pants off everytime without getting a call for foul how the hell can you score????

 

Yao has to learn that there will be games like this.

He need to learn to take it to them! Not back down.

 

Mav constantly change their defence to stop Yao and Rudy has absolutely no f&*king answer for this!!!

 

here it goes again

what the heck happened after round 1? seems like Dallas always come up with answers. Bad shooting night for Yao and Griff. MoT just fell off the radar screen. WTF!?!? forget mental! just do it!!!!!!

 

I wish Yao would pop an elbow in Bradley's big goofy kisser.

 

Why people don't tell Rudy has to learn somethin'? I think Rudy's problem is far more series than Yao.

 

Yep. It's real funny when Bradley starts playing the "Ow! I'm hurt" act.

 

shawn b. needs to settle down.

 

Rudy purposely wanted to loose this game. He let the deficit get larger until around 15ppts down and only 6 minutes left to put in his second best player? I really want to know what is Rudy thinking about.

 

i'm still wondering what the deal was with this also...Yao wasn't shooting well, but he looked like he was finally starting to get going in the 3rd. i think the rockets were down 8 or 9 when he sat then rudy puts Yao back in the middle of the 4th and the rockets were down 15. was yao tired?

 

i don't think Rudy purposely did it. it comes natural.
