ClutchCity.net Game Thread: Rockets @ Bucks 4/2/2003

Lets see:

1st qtr - get Yao involved, lots of passing, build 10 point lead

2nd qtr - Put Mooch in and lose 10 point lead

3rd qtr - stay even with Bucks until Mooch checks in

4th qtr - Bench all your front court players and allow a layup drill and get outrebounded

I see nothing wrong with that....GOOD GAME Rox

 

Larry Smith is garbage. He should change his nick from Mr. Mean to Mr. Stupid.

 

It has been addressed in another thread but I have to say that I
have not enjoyed watching the Rockets played since Rudy T took leave. The team looks unmotivated and not on the same page with no flow to their game. I am starting to think that my 2 hours could be spent doing something else besides watching this team...

 

Rockets shot 52%

Bucks shot 42%

Turnovers and Offensive Rebounding killed us.

The Bucks got 11 extra shot attempts off Rocket turnovers.

And 11 extra shot attempts from offensive rebounds.

Cut down on the turnovers and do a better job on defensive rebounding and the Rockets win easily.

 

George Karl will definitely buy Larry Smithie two whoopers for not using the 7'5'' weapon on his centerless team. The Bucks announcers were baffled why the offense didn't go through Yao when the Bucks have no one to stop him or match up with him.


Watch next game, the sixers announcer will point out the same problem.

 

Boys and Girls the season is over for the houston Rockets, I wish I could tell to do not bother playing in Phily just waste of traveling and James Posey thinks he will get payed 50$ million dollar extension . Stupids, bunch of morons, it is better now to rebulid this team around yao and trade all those none sense wanna be street players. I can't wait to hear their excuse after the game.

 

I really do not understand this coaching and substitution.
Is this a way to coach?

Someone please help me right here!! I do not understand basketball!!!!

 

Give him some credit. The man is a video coordinator that RudyT loved most. He is not a head coach, not even an asistant coach. There are no asisstant coach in the Rockets Team.

Oh, I prefer Mr. Meaningless.

The guy got no clue as a head coach.

 

This is the worst coaching I have ever seen. Rocket has a definite advantage at low post. Everybody can tell even before the game started but look at the stat at the end of the game.

Yao, EG and Cato has a combined FG of 10 / 17. They combined for 58 minutes while the other three smaller starters and Rice shot 22 / 47 and combined for 156 minutes. The worst was the three big men combined for 3 TO while the small four TO 15 times. In addition, as a result of playing small, we were outrebounded by a smaller team.

The way it is going, I guess I can be the next coach of this team.

 

No, Larry is definitely not a spy from Milwaukee. He came from the Phoenix system.

 

You cannot because you don't like ISO. You do not fit in the Rockets.

 

Can the Rockets please stop turning the ball over so much?

What is with this team.

Can they not play smart basketball?

Are fundimentals not applyable to this group of players?

Freaking 21 turnovers?

This group needs some serious back to basic lessons

 

Sad game. Could someone explain to me why Yao did not start the 4th when the game in on the line. A 10 years old kid will probably coach with better sense that LS.
I had been depressed after every game ever since LS take over. I need treatment.

 

Typo correct: 2 v. 15 TO.

 

If somebody takes out Mr. Mean by an "accident", we may have a better chance to get in the playoff. We will just have the trainers (or a cheerleader) call plays, and that can't be worse than now.

 

The Rockets are officially out of the playoff race after this loss.

But we had a good run and certainly a lot of fun!

Take care, everyone!! See ya all next season!

 

You are in the wrong forum - nobody here understand that. You have to ask Larry . himself.

 

You are absolutely right.

 

It is so obvious that Larry Smith single-handledly ochestrated the failure tonight: When opposing team's big men in foul trouble, I was ecstatic. That is it, pounding inside! and make them collapse. Guess what happened, Larry not only benched Yao, but also kept Cato out too. The dumbness and senselessness of Larry Smith is beyond comprehension. If he is not the most ingenious human being beyond this world, he must be the dumbest ass out of the reach of salvation. I'd be surprised if the team and fans not getting outraged about this. That is enough, that is just too much ...

 

The more I want the rocket game,the more I found myself clueless!

The decision making of LS is astronishing.

Is this a strategy to not get into the play-off for unknown reason?
