ClutchFans Game Thread: Jazz @ Rockets 4/19/2008 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 1)

I smell another game 1 repeat of last year.

 

Yes, please.

 

Not at all. He's having troubles against Jazz, but that's not even the key. He's been struggling a little bit but it is rookie, his first playoff game.

 

Ha I have been saying that for many years now.

 

I hate his name. Harpring? Boozer? These guys have the weirdest names in NBA.

 

Yao Ming lived up his promise.....and was in Toyota Centre on the bench to cheer and support his team mates.

But we sure we miss the Big Man in the interior and we're losing all those rebounds which was the major reason why we're behind by 6 points now by half time.

 

You forgot to mention arguing so much that he had to be called by his whole team and coaching staff b/c he was wasting a time out and wasn't in on the huddle.

 

Adelman's probably saving him for a 2nd half outburst.

 

Seeing Yao always makes me sad b/c I miss the guy in our games so much!

 

Your not kidding. I just love watching him out there.

 

That is prime for a caption comp lol

 

Well it is tough, you are right. If we had had Yao it would heva been different story....but

Those injuries are really heart breaking especially Yao's because he's had problems with his legs evey year.

 

Im inside the TC right now.... Damn these refs are pathetic! But the guy two rows back has a sign that has clutch fans photo shops on it pretty cool

 

do you guys think t-mac needs to stop worrying so much about getting others involved, or continue the way he has been playing so far ???

 

he's just that nagging person like like jeff horneck

 

i think he is playing at his best right now

cant do a lot more than now

if he wanna do a lil more then he will need to drive a lot

 

he maybe needs to ab little more selfish by himself but the other guys also have to step up. He's been good and I hope he will play as good in the 2nd half.

Guys like Scola, Landry, Aaron, Bobby needs to step up more.

 

Right now that other guys are missing shots? Yes! Score first, pass second.

 

He startd to realize at the end of the half, that he is going to have to take over. By taking over, I do not mean scoring every point, I mean picking and choosing when to make the pass and when to shoot. When he knows he can get a good shot up, he's putting it up, but when he knows he can't, he is passing, I like that about him right now, not just passing to pass. He is playing with intensity, let's just hope we don't come out flat we can't afford that.

 

He hasn't been forcing his jump shots. He's taking it to the basket and taking his jumpers in the flow of the offense. These are things he hasn't been doing recently. And he's still leading the team in assists with 4.
