ClutchFans Game Thread: Hornets @ Rockets 4/1/2005

You don't win many games when you shoot 31% from the field (28% from the threes).

I'd rather be the sixth seed, but Denver is sneaking up on us. I still would rather play Dallas than San Antonio in the first round.

 

Man, can't believe someone look so dense.

This is a hot-and-cold jumpshot team. Tmac doesn't drive enough.
Sura drives less after injury. The others are jumpshooters.
When their shots are falling, they make a run or choke
otherwise. They have no inside options when outside shots are
off. It's obvious even with Yao on the floor.

 

Now it makes sense why the TC is always empty. Such a inconsistent team, such kind of ugly home play. It just suck!!!
Don't mention champ anymore! Don't let the players talk in 610 anymore! It's time to calm down.
A champ tema like Spur would never lose a game in this way.
Shame on you, the team tonight.

 

just for your information they played a zone against us which would have rendered yao useless....i dont know if you realize that yao does not respond to fronting and zone defenses well at all. we missed shots...and if we missed those shots again they would have played the same zone defense against us and yao would have been useless anyway. on top of that yao would have had to guard chris anderson in the 4th quarter, so he would have likely fouled out. in conclusion...stop the excuses we lost because we sucked today yao or no yao

 

Then shouldn't Memphis be more worried?

 

We will have to agree to disagree there.

I say it is 100% due to lack of effort and focus, you say it is Yao.

Fine

 

It was a letdown, TMac did not play an inspring game, especially in the fourth quarter. If Rockets were serious, they would have blown Hornets out .

If Yao played, it would have helped, at least he would have helped increase TMac's touches by setting up picks.

 

The Hornets shot worse and WON.

I agree that the Rox would fare better as the 6th seed. Denver is too far back to catch us.

 

He is 5/20 in the middle of 4th q, he is not hot today.

 

This game is all on T-Mac. He looked like he didn't even care tonight like they were going win no matter what.

 

Thank you, Einestein!

 

This is probably the only game this season I don't download. Man, should have gone to watch Sin City.

In this league, if you don't respect your opponent, you will pay, big time.

 

Yah, he should have passed the ball to the other guys, who were.....Oh, never mind, everyone STUNK tonight!

 

Yao would sack the defense to one side of the basket and set
picks. Without him NO only need to worry about the perimeter.

 

I can't believe you guys even when Ming is not playing you guys are b****ing over him.

sad

 

I think we have 2x tougher games left.

Not only this game. Last game, outside Yao and Tmac, who else played well. Wesley been playing like crap for a while. I might be too pessmistic, but we need all our starters to play well to win games. We havent played well since the streak against elite teams. If we lose next 3 in a row, I will say 50% chance we might fall out the race.

 

glad to be 6th, anyway!

 

Can't wait to clips from JVG's press conference. It going be classic.

 

Ummmm... rite... perhaps we lost by two points instead of by three points with Yao in.

Let Yao be out for the next 5 games then, let's see if we keep losing the game this bad or not.
