ClutchFans Game Thread: Hornets @ Rockets 4/14/2007

Damn, no wonder we always get sting by the hornets. Those guys can flat out score. If we didn't shoot the lights out this would be another WTF game.

We are going to lose the #1 defense team status to Spur. Yao is not going to avg 10 rebounds this season(unless he pull down 30 in Sun's game).

But I will settle with the championship

 

I agree. It wouldn't be a bad thing if the last game of the season meant something.

I would like nothing more than the Rockets going into Utah and taking HCA from them to set the tone for our series.

 

Our defense looked really bad tonight. If the Hornets had Chandler and Mason, the outcome could have been different. Yao, Tracy, Rafer, Shane, Juwan and Luther were all solid as a rock on offense. But like no other team, the Hornets have the players and the scheme to make our half-court defense look weak.

 

Since when did that curry dominate? I only remember him getting blocked consecutively by Yao, as Mutombo alleged, to go on Sports Center.

 

You know, there is no bone in the eggs.

 

People need to layoff yao. OK. he had 30 points people. stop bashing our big lion. some people are so fickle.

 

every player is great in the offseason, i want rafer to play like that in the postseason.

 

Yao didnt seem to jump for the rebounds. He just stood there with his hands up. Along with that, NOK took alot of jumpshots and the rebounds were long. Then the pick and roll pulled Yao out of the paint. Both rafer and Yao's pick and roll d sucks. Rafer cant stay in front of paul and Yao has to help guard paul, so either paul gets a layup, or Jackson gets a long jumpshot.

 

Fine....

That midranger jumper you saw Juwan making consistently while Yao was out... wasnt him.

It was me. I had to possess that fool's body just to start making jumpers for him.

Now that I am back taking a break on clutchfans, you get to see the real Juwan.

And before anyone asks, NO i am not taking over Rafer. I will leave that to YugoRocketsfan.

 

Uncanny.

 

First things first....I am extremely happy the Rockets won.

Even they demonstrated none of the defensive game that got them to where they are now, I am happy the whole team got in on a great offensive night. This is a great confidence booster.

After this game, they should have a little better feeling when they are taking a shot...knowing it's going in.

But they know this style is not theirs and they will be back on the defensive track come playoff time.

 

Yao had ONLY 2 rebounds?!! I can't believe it...
Good thing is we won the game!

 

Adding a lotto pick to the Hornets with the talent they already have, they are going to be a really good team next yr.

 

lets go in to the post season with a 6 game win streak...

a win in utah next wed would crush their confidence....

 

Take them to Vegas.

 

This was a very high FG% game for both teams, which might explain why Yao had only 2 rebounds...interestingly enough, T-mac had 7 boards and J.Ho had 6. Sometimes its just the way things goes...no need to worry too much about Yao's low rebounds today

Please don't ask him to contribute any further to this thread.

 

Uh...well then...

I think this will help explain why Yao got only 2 rbds.

 

I guess it was also you avge almost 11 boards a game to?
