ClutchCity.net Game Thread: Rockets @ Grizzlies 1/27/2003

SF will score 35, CM 25, total asst 12. It would a very exciting game. SF will made several crucial shots. CM and SF will then miss a couple game shots... then... Rockets will loss the game 89 vs 92.

 

Stay positive! Rox will win!

 

Rockets need a Terry Tate to SHAPE THEM UP!!!

 

Yup.

Every time Eggie shoots a three, he gets stuck.

Every time the guards ignore Yao in the paint, they get stuck.

Every time Rudy T sees this, but doesn't do anything about it, he gets stuck.

 

Rudy should be fired. He talks like a soft baby. We dont need a coach! lol

 

That's funny you say that. I've noticed that every-time we play on the road, the commentators and writers all over the nation are wondering what the heck Rudy is doing?!

We are not the only ones that notice that Rudy is a "bump on a log." Sure, he makes improvements. But he's so sloooowwwwww....
It takes him years to make the smallest changes.

The only thing I can give Rudy is a chance to have Yao for a full training camp next year.

After that, I Yao isn't used, or Francis keeps leading the league in turnovers.....well sorry
Rudy.

You didn't catch a clue.

 

lol. What do you guys think about remote control shock collars for Rudy and the players? We could put Clutch in charge of the remote. (I exclude myself, I'd be charged for 1st degree murder tomorrow morning)

 

if the rockets management are thinking of shuffling their coaching staffs,i think,les should give calvin murphy some serious thoughts.Also ,it 's ironic that calvin who played as a guard during his nba career,can see so much benefits of running an offense through the big man.calvin will speak his mind ,and he's not going to back down from any players if he's allowed to run the team.By the same token,john lucas will not be a good coach for this team,i don't think.calvin sees lots of things on the court,and he certainly will make things simpler through his disciplinary approach toward the players.The man got lots of common sense.I am tired of seeing our guards played cluelessly.they should be played for a circus with all their useless acrobatic moves.jmho

 

The team would have to hire another interpreter.

 

All I'm gonna say is, we best not lose this game. Who the hell loses to the Grizz 3 games in a row?

 

It's on the road, and the Grizz play disciplined (at least moreso with Hubie Brown). I think disciplined teams give the Rockets more problems, because they won't give Steve and Cuttino any easy baskets. The Pistons just played basic man defense I believe and easily shut down the Rockets. They moved around the ball and exposed the Rockets' defensive laziness. It got ugly fast.

If Hubie has the Grizz playing smart, controlled basketball I think they will win. Hopefully Yao gets the ball in the 4th quarter, then it will be a different story.

 

If we lose tonight some changes will be made, count on it.

 

If this is true, then I'd hate to say that I hope we lose. (never thought I'd say that) However, even if we do lose, I really doubt anything will be done. I cut the carrot dangling on the string a long time ago.

 

I've never predicted a win before... or a loss actually, but I've showed pessimism.

I'm doing it this time. I think the Rockets will end the streak tonight.

 

Now that right there wouldn't be trash talk. That's been the story.

 

Don't make me hope for a loss.

 

Welcome to the second half of the season. We are 23-18. Double that and we are 46-36. Not bad, but improve by four games and go 27-14 and we are 50-32. With this team this might be a stretch. It all starts in Memphis tonight and each game is important. Of course I am scared about playing a bad team on the road, but I do not think we will lose five in a row. Rockets win by 6.

 

Rudy T. will say "We gave ourselves a good chance to win but didn't get done tonight". Cat "We are better then this team but didn't get a call". Steve "We still need to work on some things, we beat ourselves tonight not the grizz" Same old song and dance.

If for some strange reason the Rockets decide to give Yao more shots the Rockets should win. Please no picks above the free throw line for Yao. He belongs posting up down low.

 

Tonight is a perfect chance to get Yao more involved and get him a big scoring night... I still don't know what the hell Rudy was thinking at the end of the Bulls game not having Yao in there... He's the tallest guy on the damn floor and if they were going to run that tip play with .4 left why not have Yao hit it?? Anyways we can't afford to lose this tonight and Yao will throw down 29!

 

God DAMMIT Stevie, I don't know if it's worse to lose to yourself or the other team. The other team is TRYING to beat you. But you can kick the **** out of yourself if you want (as demonstrated by Jim Carrey and Edward Norton).
