ClutchCity.net Game Thread: Rockets @ Hornets 12/6/2002

Rox's last two positions on offensive ends are terrible.

 

Does Kenny always have to neglect Ming in the post? It's about the 2nd or 3rd time in the game where Ming has had fabulous position, literally a few feet from the basket, and Kenny once again elected to take it himself.

It really really pisses me off when you have a great chance at scoring from 3 feet from the basket, and Kenny takes the jumper or drives from 17 feet out. Great game by Kenny, but Pass to Ming when he's 3 feet from the basket you freakin idiot.

 

I think we will lose.
Damn!!!!!
We need Jordan or Miller to save us here.

 

No, we need Jackson Phil.

 

I saw that too. Kudo for KT's good game.
But his last two offensive drives stink. It is Rudy's fault to call his number.

 

No, we need to give up.
We play individuals. We deserve a loss

 

Man, I'm proud of this team. The whole team shoots horribly on the road against a playoff-bound team that is 10-0 at home and they force overtime despite being down as much as 9 points.

Their two best players don't shoot well and their second best scorer was back in Houston with an injury.

Win, lose or draw, this was a well-played game. If they shoot 5 percentage points better, they win this game.

 

its over, time to watch the mavs lakers game...hope some ass will be handed out in the sixers game tomorrow.

 

F#ck Jackson, he's not that great, what we need is Horry, it's all about clutch.

 

Don't be a dufus.

 

No we win with better substitutions. Some one needs to step up and tell the other players to start playing team ball.

 

yep noticed that happened a few times. pisses me off.

 

The downside is that all of our good players will be that much more tired tomorrow on the back to back. We exhausted ourselves out there for a loss, and then we get to turn right around and fly to Philly for a game tomorrow.

 

I don't get you guys. Everyone, including the league-leading shooter, has an off night on the road against a team that is one of the best at home this year and we still manage to force overtime. I want to win as bad as the next guy, but damn.

If Yao hits his free throws...
If Steve or Yao shot better...
If Mobley played...
If Rice hit that three in the fourth...

Bottom line is that we got beat by a playoff-bound team in their house where they haven't lost all season and, despite all the if's, we were in the game right down to the wire.

 

76ers lost to Spurs.
Tomorrow Rox will play 76ers. These are my two fav teams.
If Rockets continue to play like this, I don't mind sixers show them another lesson.

Yao fan from Philly.

 

Actually, this team hasn't faired too badly in back-to-backs over the past couple of years. That's young legs for you. Besides, Iverson and the Sixers lost a tough one to San Antonio tonight so they'll be tired as well.

 

You sure do have low expectations...

Anybody remember that Paula Abdul song, "Opposites Attract"?

"I take two steps forward
I take two steps back"

Every time we take a step forward, we take about 15 steps back

 

We are playing at home tomorrow . I will be there

 

KT had his best game of the year and still COST the Rockets the game. Some may say KT's great game was wasted, but he was the one that wasted it.


Rudy T likes to play the hot hand, and tonight "it" burned him.

Maybe Rudy T should be blamed for playing KT in the most important minutes. Man this guy is one of the worst clutch players ever. he makes a strong move to the basket in OT and gets stuffed. Take a couple of Jumpers in OT and naturally misses them.

When will Rudy T learn NOT to play this guy in the most important moments of the game.

Moochie did his part to also kill the Rockets chances with his turnovers as well.

But If KT is going to be your go-to-man, might as well flip the channel, cause no good things are gonna happen

 

Who are they gonna play in Philly? The 76ers are in Houston tomorrow night.
