ClutchFans Game Thread: Celtics @ Rockets 3/18/2008

wish we couldve put up a better fight, but thats how it goes. a 22 game winstreak is damn impressive. they are just way too big for us, and their defense is too good. they're great at rotating so we cant rely on our 3 point shot. the celtics are the best in the league at defending the 3.

 

Tracy McHeartless, your team needs you! Why are you on the bench?

Harris, Scola, Hayes, Battier and Mutombo are trying to stop the bleeding.

 

that's probably going to be the biggest news tomorrow...

 

Hell I gotta add one more thing.

We are not getting to the free throw linek AT ALL and we cannot even make them. It is horrible and we're gonna lose game because of it

And McGrady with 8 points...WTF?

 

I understand where your going man. Trust me. I watch bball for over 15 years. Tmac is just a softy though. No shame in pointing that out. I have watched the great ones play like magic, isiah, larry, michael, hakeem, malone, stockton. All of these players have hunger in their eyes. They will their teams to victory. Even though kobe hasnt gotten out yet, he is a very competitive player and he wouldnt score 8 points in a game like this vs the C's. I'm sorry, but thats the truth.

 

Time to pull Scola and Battier to conserve at least a little energy for New Orleans.

 

we have a chance to make the finals... but our chance to win went down with Yao.

 

I say you put Novak in and let him launch some threes.


I still can't turn my head from this. I have a tiny bit of hope.

 

I HATE RA's substitution patterns tonight.. novak should've been out there some time in the 2nd

 

This is the 1st loss on Adleman. The last 2 games Head and Jackson gave us a huge lift. At the end of the 2nd quarter against the Lakers they gave us a 15 point lead. Tonight they gave us a 10 point lead. Adleman made major mistakes by not going small and giving us more energy and shooting. The magic dust has worn off Alston and Mutumbo.

 

I wonder how the game would've played out if we had Yao and they were missing KG

 

i don't know dude, the team that won 22 in a row or the team that lost 1? not exactly 50/50 odds huh?

 

Is Tim Duncan a jump shooting big man?

 

Well I dont mind losing that much, but holy **** why is this not so close.

 

They are fighting for pride, and I am so proud of them!!!

 

Of all the people bailing you pick the one guy who makes a good observation to call out. Smooth move. What he said is true. When down by 20+ and only 7 minutes to play you can't use the whole shot clock all the time. You have to be aggressive.

 

Hey, look, Denver lost, Dallas lost, and GS is going to lose. Hopefully Portland can pull it out. We had a great ride, but they can all focus now on New Orleans. Even if we lose the next 4 games, we'll still be in the playoff hunt- which is not a given in the West this year- and we'll no longer have the bullseye on our back. We'll be fine.

 

Rafer also ****ed it up from the beginning with his double technical. this guy has his head in the clouds. It's no coincidence that the Rox streak has gone as this guy has gone. Adelman should have played BJ and Head more. **** Alston.

 

You know, I don't mind losing. The streak has to end sometime but c'mon not go out by over 20 pts. I hate getting blown out in our own house.

 

Deke sad =(
