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

looks like the home crowd is slowly getting into its playoff form also

 

Oh and GREAT game by Rafer. Shot 54% from the field and 50% from the 3. Outscored Chris Paul by 1, and that's damn hard to do.

 

Jazz just lost. We are a step closer to HCA

 

BTW, I want every game the Rox play in the playoffs to look like the 50 point blowout against the 76ers ... where we are dominating every aspect of the game. If we can do this game in, and game out, we are serious contenders for the title ....

 

Yes, you figured me out. My net schedule corresponds Juwan's performance on the court!! *laugh*

I asked you to use the search function but silly me!!! I did not realize you were downgraded and the option was unavailable to ya.

Keep patting each other's back Juwan lovers.

You will need it. Playoffs is around the corner.

 

Resorting to cheapshots. oh how classy. i shoudl'nt have expected more from you anyway..

 

I don't know why so many are on edge about it, but Yao's rebounding wasn't good today. He more than made up for it on offense but that doesn't mean it isn't worth discussing. Part of the problem was the Hornets carved up our defense and didn't miss much, plus many of their misses clanged long off the rim which usually takes Yao out of the equation.

IMO, if you take this game as a tuneup for Phoenix on Monday, it wasn't encouraging. Yao's lack of rebounding is only part of it. 58% shooting won't be there to bail us out.

 

Glad we won. Yao should never only have 2 rebounds though.......

 

That wasnt a cheapshot. I seriously did not realize at first that search was unavailable to you.

In any case, its kinda amusing watching you whine about cheapshot considering your last couple of posts. Hypocrisy anyone?

Coming after me will not change Juwan's game or history. If it did, I would bend over and take it for the Rockets!!

 

If the ball falls right in front of Yao but he decides to let his teammate grab it, that's his fault. He needs to have the mentality to grab every single rebound in the game. What about if a player of the other team sneaks in to steal the rebound next time when he hesitates again?

 

Yahoo says Mutombo left with a a bruise above his right eye.

All coming after you does is cause good gamethreads to be hijacked by your freaky Juwan fetish. It would be good if blazer_ben and others realized this isn't D&D and just ignored you.

HINT HINT HINT, b_b. This is my last request.

 

I'd like to see yao has 2pts and 30rebs.

 

He didn't hesistate, his teammate just steal it. No point for yao to fight over a rebound among teammate.

 

TMac sure billed Rockets out today.

But the pick-n-roll defence was horrible today, just like the game against Jazz and Warrior.

JVG (and Yao) had whole season to figure this out, but unfortunately, they seems still have no answer. This is the most vunerable spot for the Rockets and all our opponent take from this same page -- Nash + Amare, Deron Williams + Boozer...

 

The JVG interview karma works again! Rafer just had one of his finest performances of the season!

 

Pointing out Juwan steals rebounds from teammates (also suggested by others) = Juwan fetish?

Clearing up how Juwan would be a liability against Dallas in playoffs when someone claims he would be a saviour = juwan fetish?

Pointing out Juwan being dumped by Dallas of all teams for being soft = juwan fetish?

Bringing up Juwan's near zero accomplishment in playoffs considering his long NBA career AFTER someone claims he will light it up in playoffs = juwan fetish?

Why do you hate the truth?

Cmon!! Even Juwan wouldnt go this far to defend himself!

I have yet to see you actally counter my points on juwan...just a lot of whining....

 

So Yao can't rebound. so what？Give him a break. Nobody is perfect, and nobody can ever be. people always say: 'you can not teach height'; you can't teach 7-6 agility either.

 

Yao lets his teammates take rebounds from him. So unselfish

 

That is true. Yao is too nice and people take advantage of him.

But Juwan does not discriminate when stealing.

He will steal rebounds from any one on the team.
