ClutchFans Game Thread: Cavaliers @ Rockets 12/2/2006

you got the point.

I miss Tmac, hope he is ok..

 

Yao was pulling a Tracy tonight. Look at the numbers, 8-23, 5 reb, 4 ast. You'd think that was Tracy. lol

That Deke finger wag was instant classic, wagging the finger then pass the ball.

Overall we played outstanding defense. Nothing easy for James, we made their big men shooting 20ft jumpers, no penetration, and outrebounding them. And the Cavs did not knock down the few uncontested jumpers they got. Our overall D was really suffocating.

 

he carried the whole team in the first half and finish with 1 nasty dunk/ 2 assists.

shut up please

 

They shouldve played David Wesley more, He knows EVERYTHING about us.

 

you clearly didnt watch the game

Yao was demanding double and triple teams in the second half everytime he touched the ball

and he was able to pass it out to open players who swung the ball around for good shots

 

Yeah, Rockets win!! This team has become a very good home team compare to last years squad. I hope we get some good news regarding Bonzi and Sura. I was hoping the Rockets will learn about Sura around the second week of December.

 

BNA, you know Yao didnt have a good night. STop being such a YOF....

 

thanks for your sticker.

 

Yao proved he can lead the team to victory without T-Mac!
Good Win!

 

That dunk by Yao was nasty. Bodies were flying all over the place!
Throw it down big man! Throw it down!

 

Yao didn't play his finest game, but who cares? We got the "W", that's all that matters.

Some of you guys need to learn that the NBA season is a marathon, and that NO ONE plays great all the time, there are always ups and downs.

As long as the team continues to win games, then it isn't a big deal when Yao or McGrady or anyone else has some off nights, it happens to the best of them...just look at "King" James stinking up the joint tonight.

 

It was a good win, but I don't think he proved anything when the team had a 26 point cushion in the fourth quarter.

 

We would've won by 40.

 

we out rebounded them 55-41

 

this game was somewhat like the home opener vs dallas:

virtually no helps from tmac
big lead all the way from second half

 

That's pretty much what others are doing on defense against us. Tire out Yao in the first half. Let him play, no double team until the rest of the team is out of sync. Then second half, double Yao and force him to pass the ball and look for steal and let them live by the 3 points. Luckily we were hitting it.

 

I watched the game ,yao was too tired to grab a RB last qrt,he gotta work it out .If against elite team ,we are gonna lose .....just a fact.

 

then you should think how could the team have a 26 point cushion from the first place.

 

NOt just luck... they were getting good shots... better shots than those the Cavs got, anyhow.

They were throwing up pure junk way too often.

 

This was a good win. We showed we could win without T-Mac. At least for certain stretches. I don't expect him to miss time, but if he should I hope it's on some type of Eastern swing. Since those are easy wins for pretty much anyone out west.
