ClutchCity.net Game Thread: Rockets @ Grizzlies 12/13/2002

I've got to tip my hat to the Grizzlies.

The Rockets played well overall; they just played better.

 

Steve is saving us and killing us!

 

Steve wanted to be the man. Bad thing: He does not have that smarts to be the man. Why not just slow down and play court play around Yao in such crunch time? I feel sick. Hope fans stop talking about last 3 points in the regular time. Check out how many jump shots missed and TO in crunch time! He can not be the lead!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

This sucks! We should have won this game. I saw at least two instances down the stretch where that fairy boy Pausol flopped and got free throws.

What a bummer.

 

that's it guys

 

YOU LOSE! YOU LOSE! BITE ME GUARD PLAY!

Death to guard oriented play. Slow, painful, horrible death. Like watching this game.

I don't think it's getting through their thick frikin' skulls.

FEED THE BIG MAN, YOU DOLTS!

Geezer, Mari, and Jo!

I HATE STUPID BASKETBALL!

 

Remember its not good to talk trash to visitors.

Nice game Rox. See Ya in Houston!

Yao is the truth and you guys really, really good.

 

Grizzlies played smarter ball in crunch time.
They sticked with feeding the ball to Gasol. Jwill cam through with his penetration and did not try jacking up the three's.

 

I saw on ESPN board, Yao was blocked 4 times??? Is it true?

 

2 step forward, 1 step back.

In crunch time Rockets look like they forgot how to play again. Dribble dribble and TO. Doesn't this sound too familiar? FEED the ball to the big man in the PAINT!

 

Tough loss. But that's why championship team can not be build in a short time. Young teams will make such mistakes. Just hope we learn from it.

 

Do not bash me. I am just feeling sick. In chinese, we say dogs never break their habbit of eating ****. Out guards want to take over like the so called-leader. Man, rockets will go nowhere and Yao will be heading for another team if this problem not fixed. How loyal he can be if players remain stupid or coatching staff has nothing to do to change it? I am still supporting rockets. But, is it unbearable to watch like this. The game itself is great. The way of losing is disgusting!!!!!!!!

 

Dogs never break their habbit of eating ****! It is just human problem. Our guards do not have to feel the pressure from true rockets fanson at home when they are on road and they back to where they supposed to be easily.

 

I checked the espn game log, yao was 2 times.

I think yao had a decent game.

Go Rockets

 

I am aching. My head will burst from hate. I HATE FRICKING KENNY THOMAS! I HATE SLO MO BRO THE D CIPHER! I HATE STUPID GUARD PLAY!

Rudy, you stink. You had chance after chance to fix this, and never did anything to bail the sinking ship. What, is this your PhilJax zenmaster thing? They have to learn themselves? No-one is learning anything, it seems. Trade em all, let God sort them out.

 

I meant he was blocked twice.

 

Steve needs to get over with his ego. He was trying to outdribble and outrun Jason one on one.

 

I'm Chinese too and I totally disagree with you! It's only been 1/4 of the season. They WIN and LOSE as a team. They still have about 60 games to smooth some things out. Your logic of him ditching this team and leaving because of what happened tonight has no basis what-so-ever. From your comments, you don't seem like a true Rockets supporter to me. Yeah, the past few losses were tough, because they were close losses. Do you rather have like last year and have the games be over by the middle of the 3rd quarter? Everyone has to realize what the goal was in the beginning of the year was. Make the playoffs and hope our rookies and 2nd year players improve throughout the season.

 

Too much dribbling and force up wild shot at the end. Rockets forget how to play team ball in OT and go back to their dribbling. Wonder why Rockets don't go inside more to start their offense. Wonder why our guard doesn't pass to the big man when drive to the lane for an easy shot? The Rockets are athletics but they still seem to lack the fundamentals. They need to go back to the classroom and learn to improve their basketball IQ before we start to talk about any potential championship. Athleticism alone will not win you championship. Even with the Rockets' questionable plays at the end, the Grizzilies were kind of lucky at the end when Person make that extremely tough 3 points shot. Overall, the Grizzilies was not more talented tonight but just a little smarter and a little more luckier. Well, there is always tomorrow and hopefully the result will be different.

 

This loss is very hard to swallow. We had every chance to win this game, but boneheaded plays down the stretch killed us. I feel sick!
