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

P A T H E T I C ! ! !

Disappointed in every player that stepped out on the court not named Clarence or Dikembe.

What the hell was up with T-Mac? That was easily his worst game of the season, DOGGED IT!

Better wake up against the Suns or they'll get killed by 20 plus.

 

what team do you know that doesnt go cold some nights....so you are stating the obvious. also, you say there are no inside options when outside shots dont fall. umm i think it would be the oppisite because you dont get open looks without establishing the low post play FIRST. so you have no point there. but good try attempting to look smart to the rest of the board

 

Our supposed "shooters" have been absolutely CRAP the last few games.

In Utah, we won solely because of the 44 points T-Mac put up, in Portland Yao and T-Mac played very well while everyone else stunk it up pretty much.

This game, T-Mac struggles shooting, and our other guys prove that they can be even worse shooters than they have been in the past games.

I don't know what it is, but when Barry, Wesley, Sura, and every other guard we have can't drop a damn shot, then there is something going on here.

If they don't drop their shots in the playoffs, then Sonics or no Sonics we will be out in no more than 5 games.

 

I didn't say it was ONLY Yao.

The effort was horrible. They should have won without him.

With him they would have won.

We'll never know so it really doesn't matter.

 

We will lose to Suns. Better wake up against the Warriors and Lakers.

 

30.8% percent my friend...that is a number that represents our shooting percentage. if we shoot that bad our chances of winning are slim to none. comon now lets get with the program

 

Should we have a new thread talking about our guards' crappy performance? They are shooting like sh*t for a long time, even my favorite Wesley. What's happening? Is that VanGundy's strategy to keep energy for playoff? Or they just get old?

 

The Rockets should not need Yao to beat the Hornets. In fact, they shouldn't need Yao or T-Mac to beat the Hornets.

 

Man, I am not in the playoff mode right now. It's not a lock for us. We have to win 4 games first somehow. No more portland, no more Utah, no more hornets left in the schedule.

 

He surely lived up to his lesser alter ego T-Slack. Wesley was even worse. He was bricking one wide-open shot after other.

 

Are you kidding me? We lost to the Hornets? Thats what I get for leaving chat after that big lead that I thought was safe.

Ha, better yet, I would have killed my computer watching them blow this game in chat.

 

Probably would've won if Yao played.

Should've still won without him though. Shouldn't use Yao as an excuse against a crappy team.

It's utterly ridiculous to say that Yao makes no impact on the game.

 

Our defense tire them down. For jump shooters you need leg, the way we have been rotating on D tire our old guards down. On top of that is the mental thing.

 

Warriors will be tough. Lakers should be a cake walk, those dudes don't care anymore.

 

Exactly the damn point I am trying to make, but apparently too many people here like to play hypotheticals and make a wild, pointless guess as to what "might" have happened if Yao played or something else (like we haven't lost to terrible teams before multiple times with Yao playing)

But anyways, we have already debated this point, everyone believes what they want to believe...

 

You finally put your name on my ignore list. Now I know you are not only biased, but also don't understand the ball game.

A jumper team can go nowhere, expecially when they are cold aod their opps play hardnose defense.

It's true that there were a lot of wide open shots, but how many contested shots they had tonight? Do the match and you can see the point.

Before you make any statement, ask yourself what's the team plan for both sides.

 

Lakers are freaking 3pt bomb squad. Those 3s might just fall on us, esp the percentage is so low for them right now, it will catch up against someone.

 

We have to win 3 games first to even talk about playoff and seeding.

Minny lost to the suns tonight.

 

Someone tell this dude the following: I don't give a sh*t whether I am on his IL or not, in fact, it is an honor to be on a newbie's IL.

Biased?! Yah, I am biased to the facts I see in front of my eyes as I watch the game.

What a freakin'....Well, I won't curse you
