ClutchFans Game Thread: Celtics @ Rockets 11/4/2008

GP and Webber's stage manners are kinda weird.

 

Since TMAC has lost a step with his injury, the celtics help defense will double him on the penetration before he gets to the basket.

You have got the hand it to the Cs, they play defense.

 

they're shadowing KG to tmac's side whenever he tries to post up; he got by pierce on the last play before brooks' TO but 3 guys collapsed on him.

that's why he has 5 assists already.

 

WE need a 6'11 guy now for god sakes.

 

that is an accurate assessmet
we call it like we see it and we will NOT stfu!

 

Let Dorsey up and get those rebounds,

 

How long Yao can play basically is on refs' mercy.

 

Three things to go:
1) We need Battier.
2) We need a 90%-100% T-mac.
3) We need Deke.

 

I am praying Rockets don't start second half with Rafer.

Rondo will go on a tear again and Rockets will be in another hole.

Enough is enough.

 

We really need to sign Mutumbo. We need him.

 

if Ming stopped playing volleyball and grabbed the damn ball like his life depended on it!!!

If he did that he wouldn't have to chase second chance freakin shots under the basket and getting called for the stupid fouls.

Do that in the Post season and watch how far this team advance . . . .

 

almost as weird as Eric Snow and Webber's. They're not made for this kinda thing. Guys like Kenny or Charles are good for TV though.

 

The problem is Rafer cannot guard Rondo, neither can he penetrate and they are leaving him wide open.

We need to address this PG issue and fast too......

 

true dat.. but blocking out will help out also in getting the rebounds

 

You are right but Tracy was not our problem. We made the run when he entered the game and he helped us with his asists and those 2 jumpers.

It is hard to attack the rim against Boston with guys like Rafer standing around. They are just bagging Rafer to take another 3. So they will even triple T-Mac, because they would only leave Rafer open.

 

AB is the answer

 

you are not wrong. yao needs to be aggressive tough. kill someone else wont hurt.

 

The silverlining is that we got depth this season, but Yao has to stop picking up those stupid fouls.

 

Nice surge in the second quarter. Got to give it up to the Celtics defense, though. It will be tough for tmac to drive on one leg through that defense. Houston is shooting jumpers and the Celtics want that. Hopefully Yao will not pick up more fouls and he will score more in the second half.

 

If you don't have size, in many cases, even a great blockout doesn't work.
