ClutchFans Game Thread: Bulls @ Rockets 11/16/2006

tmac must be joking

 

tmac is such a wimp

 

T-Mac, please don't shoot too many. When you are shooting, you forget how to distribute the ball and we will not win the game.

 

people have been saying this about Tiki Barber, but none of us know what it's like to be a pro athlete. I'd be sad if he retired, but I couldn't get mad at the guy.

 

i don't think rockets fans got the memo that the game started at SEVEN. seriously, i'm watching this on TNT, and it's embarrassing to see all these empty red seats. for a moment i thought this was a preseason game.

wow t-mac wants to play baseball? sign him up! maybe the astros finally have a decent #5 starter.

 

haha ben wallace is sdfapofiwe;sld

 

there should be a team rule that prohibits passing Dikembe the ball.

 

sick pass by tmac, too bad deke missed the dunk, now padget for 3

 

screw padgett!!! bring in NOVAK!!!

 

Rafer Alston is not throwing up bricks.

He is throwing up whole sections of buildings.

Yeah, they are that ugly.

 

down 6 after 1... not too bad

 

Very bad first quarter. I don't see the same intensity we had in the firsdt half of the SA game.

 

Dammit Novak should be playing ahead of padgett!

 

tmac retiring in 3 years?

am i the only one the realizes how young the rest of the team is?

yao
hayes
snyder-novak
head
billy

these guys all have 10 years left. TMAC is the only guy closing our window for a championship.

 

we have no offensive rythm going right now and our defense..... well there is none.

 

I see no energy so far.

 

i am. it's amazing how crappy they are at shooting anything other than completely wide open shots. any body up on them or, God forbid, a shot they have to create themselves is an adventure.

and the bulls seemingly travel every single time they catch a pass and then drive or whatever. pj brown took about 4 steps when he caught the ball at the end of the quarter before he took the shots and gordon has traveled numerous times on pump fakes followed by drives.

 

it's kinda funny t-mac mentioned that he works out with clemens. clemens skipped the first two months for the astros last season, and he didn't make his first start until june 22nd. of course, the nba season is already over in late june.....

got my drift?

 

I would rather see Novak in replacing Padgett, but whatever.

That was a lackluster 1st quarter

 

I have always said it.

Here's a question...

If Battier is so highly regarded as a defender, howcome the first couple of plays Rockets had to double team the man BATTIER was guarding, which led to open 3s for the Bulls?

The best defender on the team should never need a double team help and should be able to make the defender work hard.

Battier's one on one defense is extremely overrated.

He is a decent help team defender.
