ClutchFans Game Thread: Grizzlies @ Rockets 12/3/2005

Traded for Bonzi Wells.

 

WHatever you say. Even as a diehard fan, it is very difficult to embrace the rockets when they put up piss poor effort like tonight.

 

JVG is clapping because he knows they've finally hit rock bottom. The Rockets can only go up from here. Lets hope they score 50 points this game.

 

Memphis has the 2nd best record in the divison.
Thats what I was refering to.

 

I think the biggest difference between Memphis and Houson right now is one team plays with no fear, the other team plays scared. If Bobby Jackson, Stoudamire, Miller, Battier, or Gasol see a shot they like, they take it. It doesn't matter if no one else has touched the ball. It doesn't matter that they've only used 5 seconds off the shot clock. Doesn't matter if it looks like a bad shot. If it's a shot the player is comfortable taking, they take it.

On the Rockets side, they look like robots out their. The players are not allowed to just dribble the ball up the court and take a shot. They have to go through a designated offensive set. They have to pass the ball to a certain player first. The team has to make a certain number of passes first. They're not doing what natural to them, like the Grizzlies players are.

 

Just fire JVG les. You can do it.

 

I know...I was thinking in the first half if I was JVG I would just knock all the tvs and stuff off of those tables maybe throw a chair on the court ala Bobby Knight...and I'm serious.......

 

Yeah Magic did quit on him and if you want another name than try T_Mac....


Maybe you need to calm down a lil bit and lay off the caffine...

 

Yep, and Yao of course looks like a doornail out there.

 

Yao has 17..hes been blocked about 100 times but he has 17...
ANOTHER FREAKIN 3 ptr.......

 

They are 8-14 from the 3s in the game and we are 1-7 from behind the arc. That's the game right there.

Nice play by Yao to begin the 2rd half.

 

And he was 50+%, duh!

 

The ONLY way JVG can get fired is if T-Mac orchestrates it... and I don't see that happening, especially since he said he's the best coach he's ever had, and he gives him all the credit for making him the complete player he is today.

Stromile Swift sucking isn't going to get him fired... Swift has never been good anywhere, and he actually looks even more confused in the DEFENSIVE sets (the side of the ball which is supposed to be his strength) than the offensive sets.

DA sucking isn't going to get him fired... DA doesn't give 100% at any given time, why would he expect any sort of leeway or playing time.

The main problem is that we thought every new player we got this year would give the same hustle and intensity that our new players last year did (Mutombo, Barry, Sura)... that simply is not the case.

Last year was special... this year is garbage.

 

sorry but i refuse to vote for any of our guys for the All Star game.

If they get it playing like this, I will only be more embarassed.

 

I'm out..Right now I am so embarrased to call myself a Rockets fan.. The Grizs just lobbed in an alley oop and not a single Rocket was near the Goal...This is just horrible..Bad Coaching and a Heartless team equal the LOTTERY....I'm OUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

MEM is great team right now. excellent team play!!! well coached!

 

You know I heard Thibedeau say the Rox needed to close out on the Grizz perimeter shooters better but they are still letting them set their feet and get wide open looks.

 

This is what three days of intense practices gets you. What in the world is going on here. I can't believe it. I know the Rockets will not give up on this season and I know they will make some moves come December 15th. I hope they can but up a better performance since they will be on TNT and ESPN this coming week.

 

calm down, man! It's just a game,
