ClutchFans Game Thread: Celtics @ Rockets 3/18/2005

if A Walker is this good

How did celtics trade him away?

 

TMac got his C- game tonight

 

The only one I like on that team is Walker. The guy is just fun to watch.

 

Things actually go better when the Rockets are defending on the same side of the court that JVG is on... he wills the rotations to be quicker just by constantly yelling.

That's how it will be in the second half... cause if they don't go out there and get some stops, we could shoot 75% in the second half, and we still won't win.

 

New management came in (Danny Ainge), decided he didn't like Walker, and shipped him off to Dallas.

 

man.. mcgrady is playing like $hit today

 

they are as dirty as the old jazz teams. whats worse, they think they are amazing.....at least be humble if you are going to be dirty.

 

Guys, it's real simple: Sometimes your shots don't drop, and the other team can't miss their outside shots.

It is just ONE OF THOSE GAMES!

We are getting excellent looks at the perimeter, and usually we knock those shots down, but not tonight.

As for the TC fans, don't get me started man. It is embarrassing!

We have the worst fans in the world! No attittude, no cheering, no energy, what freakin' homecourt?!

You want the Rockets to do well in the playoffs? Root for them to stay a lower seed and play on the road, there is much more focus and energy that way

 

At least it shows that if the Rockets are determined to feed the ball down low, they can do it even if Yao is sandwiched by two defenders.

Yao needs to remember not to put the ball down after grabbing the offensive boards.

 

This post is so annoying. Please keep this a clean place.

 

That is exactly the problem: his teammates can get him the ball, but if he DOESN'T want to take the damn shots, there is nothing anyone can do about it.

Boy, I would hate to be the Rockets in that lockerroom now!

 

G Payton will tire out in the 2nd half.
old legs do not last.

we can still win this one.

 

well at least we closed out the half decently.

stat analysis.

The Celts are just sick from the field 48% fga and 54% 3pta.

Rox - 37% fga (16-43) 15% 3pta (2-13)

 

Well...if I was their fan..I would probably like it too.

But it looks pretty bad.

Anyways..wow that was John Chaney talking..at first I was like..what is this Van Chancellor's not here..is this some guy who won an auction to be a guy..and then said coached with JVG..and it was him!
I see...

Anyways Spoon did good..but Howard would have helped a lot tonight.

Yao and Tmac seem like tired and restless...like they aren't into it. They aren't playing with effort or energy or itnensity or whatever. If Tmac was really playing like the real Tmac, he'd be driving and destroying the Celtics by himself. He can do it. I can't wait til playoffs.

Anyways..all we need to do is make some stops..go on a 14-0 run and it's a tied game..a new start.

We are contenders. They...are not. They have a good team though. I like Pierce and Walker. GP no. Banks good young athletic player but he's got one attitude too. Ricky Davis same...

Let's try to beat them!

 

Relax, boys and girls. T-Mac will wake up in the 2nd half, and Yao will have a big game.

Rocks win.

Come back to see you guys tomorrow! Ciao......

 

this is GOOD warning to our team

 

He only passed up 3 shots in the first half: an assist to Spoon; a pass out of the double team; a (or 2) passes out to Wesley for a wide open 3.

That's it.

 

Surfice to say, if we cant beat them, then it's gonna get real Ugly whene the hottet team in the NBA comes to town. the heat are gonna slaughter us in this kind of form. this is the Rox D- Game.

 

the scary part is, pierce didn't even get started yet.


the good news: there is no way we can play any worse, and there is no way they can play any better. the game isn't over and we are not blown out yet. i expect a REAL comeback.


if anything can give our team a mean streak, its getting b**** slapped by some arrogant, dirty, punks.

 

Wake up, Rockets! and Kick the Celtic butts.
