ClutchFans Game Thread: Celtics @ Rockets 1/11/2004

Agreed

 

I agree.

Yao needs to take a seat on the bench and stay there for the rest of the game. He has always sucked hard against these small quick teams that play fast tempo basketball. He's given absolutely no indication that he’ll ever do well against these teams. Letting guys like McCarty torch him and Mihm posterize him is unacceptable.

Sit his butt on the bench.

 

what news with this team.... yao miss a couple of shots, the guards will completely ignore for the next 5 minutes. If the guards miss a couple a shots, they will continue to shoot more cos they have the 'HEART' and they are aggressive.

 

Stupid Rockets TOs.

Why cannot they run PNR for Yao if the Celtics chose to DT and front him in the low post?

 

Yao hasn't gotten the ball enough because of a combination of his passiveness, and their defense.... not the guards.

In fact, getting the ball to him right now is so hard that whenever he's in the game, the Rockets struggle... now the lead has been pushed back up to 9.

If you watch the game, every set starts out with trying to get the ball into Yao... when he doesn't fight for position, or is surrounded, the ball swings around for an outside shot of some kind.

Yao really can't play against these small teams until he isn't afraid to knock guys down w/ his elbows and make them pay for surrounding him.

 

Why not bench him for the rest of the season and see where the Rox can go?

 

Too bad they can't afford to do that, since Yao is the only credible star this lousy team has....and only until his rookie contract expires. Everything Ricky Davis said about cleveland applies to houston as well.

 

After he was taken out in the 1st quarter, Rox got run over and never had the lead since.

 

"can you imagine being a fan of that team and watch them repeatedly ignore the 7'5 guy sitting in the paint waiting for the ball...I'd go ****** crazy "

From a boston fan on the espn boards. Everyone else can see it, but JVG and his stupid guards.

 

The Rockets have made a run and are back to within 3.

Guess who's been sitting on the bench the whole time?

 

but his 8 assists you want them right???

 

that is ridiculous. All this stuggle is due to the fact that our guards can not make consistent outside shots even when they are left open. If they can do that, opponents won't dare to cluster around Yao every possession. We need shooters and better ball movement.

 

I am so sick and tired of this crappy team. Every time they play a good game they come back and loose to a sucky ASS team like Boston. No wonder no one shows up at the games. I would boooooooooooo the $*** out of them if I was there and I wonder why people continue to showup and watch this crappy ASS team. Every time t hey play I watch these games and more and more I am not realizing why I do.

 

Here's to hoping they lose this game, with the small hope that they might learn that you can't play like this.

 

Rox gets overrun when Yao sits. That is an observation from over 30 games this season. Without Yao, this is a sub .500 team.

 

Mobley's stupid play is costing the Rockets the game.

 

Yao sits so much that he is practically not a starter anymore. He should protest and just not give any more effort since he gets no reward in return.

 

Dear o Dear - this loss is gonna be hard to swallow

 

Yao really should go to a new team, staying with the Houston Rockets is really stunting his development. This team doesn't have the faintest idea of how to use him. Imagine what kind of numbers Yao would have if he played with an unselfish team.

What a waste of talent!!

 

Evrybody is costing them the game. YAO, STEVE, CUTTINO, CATO,, but the only layer that plays good all the time wheather it be on defense or offense is Jimmy Jackson. This team sux! CAN'T WAIT TILL BASEBALL SEASON......Rockets your loosing on of your most loyal fans for about 15 years....IDIOTS
