ClutchCity.net Game Thread: Spurs @ Rockets 12/3/2002

why doesn't rudy run the lineup that put all the points on the board. Why is he so damn set in having Thomas and Hawkins on the floor at the same time. That equals no offense from two different areas.

Moochie
Francis
Morris
Griffin
Ming

these players got you dancing, now ride them home to a win

 

Quick notes:

KT really IS a black hole. He takes his man one on one every single time he gets the ball. Talk about tunnel vision. Way too selfish, and looking a lot slimmer than last season indeed. I'm sorry hp, but KT is embodies everything our team DOESN'T need right now. We need ball movement. KT is the anti-movement.

Mo is looking lost out there and hasn't been able to get any decent shot off. I'm not sure it's just rust. He doesn't seem to have any confidence at all.

Griffin has to bulk up quickly or we have to trade 2 of our PF's for a veteran PF that can protect the paint and Yao... Brian Grant is the man for the job, if you ask me.

Yao is awesome, even better than I could have hoped him to be. He is having his way with the twin towers! In a year or two we are going to have the most dominant player in the league not named Shaq...

Francis and Yao seem to be developing some great chemistry together, but Steve makes my heart skip a beat every time he brings the ball up court. How many backcourt violations and turnovers already? He just doesn't take care of the ball and thats quite frustrating. I don't know if we are ever going to get anywhere with Steve as our starting PG.

Morris is playing nice too, and I haven't seen enough of Cato to evaluate. Hawkins doesn't seem the lock down defender some advertised him to be, and he doesn't move that well without the ball.

Rice relies too much on his post up abilities and he looks kind of slow out there. Why no Boki?

Let's hope we can execute in the fourth. Feed Yao in the post and we can pull a win off baby!

GO ROCKETS!

 

Finally kenny out and Griff in and now here comes the minginator.

 

It's absolutely ridiculous to get two consecutive turnovers because we can't break a simple press. Come on, guys! Where did our brains go in the 3rd quarter? The Spurs were playing better defense, but our decision making went completely out the window.

 

This looks like the mooch from 2 years ago. creating and not dribbling as much

 

Well lets hope this lineup doesn't make a lie out of me

 

Why is Moochie on the court!?! Geez! Thank God KT got the freakin five foul hook - But now this! The horror! The horror!

Come on, Rudi! Yao and Cato same time. Twin towers v Twin Towers. Do IT!

 

Moochie plays like a superstar. He made some real awesome passes tonight. Good to see him back in shape and contribute.

 

when did moochie turn into a good point guard?

 

Exactly these five players are playing the game.
Rudy is a little sharp tonight I guess.

 

C'mon Rox, win one for me.

 

I want to clone 4 more Yao's. Where is the French scientist when you need one

 

Keith Jones is probably running into the locker room and checking with us

 

Moochie is having a field day. He even made two FT in row!

 

Damn it Steve, is it me or is SF average 6 TO's last couple of games?

 

spurs ice cold since Yao came back

 

I'm a little bothered.

Yao had 14 attempts in the first half. 2 so far in the 2nd half, half way through the 4th quarter.

What in the world? Giving the ball to Yao helped the Rockets jump out to a 10 pt lead in the first half... why's the game plan changing?

 

if we lose this game it must be the turn overs(15:6), we are almost leading in all other stats.

 

drug test follows for moochie after the game.

 

careful now, we don't want to cause problems
