ClutchFans Game Thread: Jazz @ Rockets 4/30/2007 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 5)

okur, stop complaining to the ref like a whiny b****, u fouled

 

are we running the entire offense through yao? we get all the scores when tmac has touched the ball w/ 3 assists.

run some plays for mac dammit. get him into the game

 

Tracy to Yao for a dunk!

Someone needs to step up and slow Williams down. He is eating us alive. AK47 is doing a good job coming over from the weakside and causing havoc.

 

Yao needs to keep the ball high until he determines if, when, and where the double team is coming.

 

i wish our freaking players would stop standing around when Yao has the ball on the post.

do you freaking guys know what a cut is??!!

 

if we could make the shots utah makes we'd be hard to beat. williams just hits tough floaters and long jumpers on pullups and giricek gets one open 3 and drains it with no problem.

tmac taking it to the basket again, nice to see. that's 3 or 4 times already vs about 1 all game in game 4.

 

Exactly. It appears we have stopped cutting to the basket. How many layups has Chuck got from Yao this series? None?

 

wtf is YAO doing, he is making it so much harder than it needs to be, he should just catch and shoot it before the double team comes. Thinking way too much.

 

they're not doubling until he puts the ball down. and u know yao can't pass if he starts a move already.

i just wish yao would just get better position and just shoot immediately. when he starts doing any moves, he is just awful to watch.

cmon yao, get down to 8ft, not 15.

 

I don't know, I'm very worried. This is gonna be another grind it our contest that will come down to which team executes better.

This damn Utah squad is just so good at protecting the ball and playing smart, disciplined, tough D. We are just unable to run at all against them.

 

tracy has already driven 4 times now. keep it up. force the jazz to foul you tracy.

and yao, just don't do any moves. okur knows your moves like it's the ABCs. just go down there and do short shots.

 

Finally T-Mac has decided to go to the basket. Saw him a few times drive with desire.

 

Does Yao never learn, put the ball on the floor and he gets doubled which causes nothing but bad things, blocked shots, strips and picked off passes. Yao post, repost, turn and shoot.

Rafer looks a lot better tonight. Mcgrady looks a little better, Yao is still playing like $hit, He gets the ball and just stands there waithing for the double team, instead of going to work on the defender and talking a shot. I was scared he was going to turn it over on the fast break with tmac.

 

Another poor shooting night for Yao. WTF is wrong with this guy

 

Boozer and Deron will torch us again tonight.

As usual, we will live by the threes and we will die by the three.

 

Harder said then done, but still, ESPN guys were right on one thing, even if it was really obvious. Yao is virtually unstoppable once he establishes deep post position. He's very stoppable a good 15 feet away from the net. Sure, he has a decent shot, but from out there, that's a 30%ish shot.

Really, Yao needs to concentrate on establishing deep post position, above all.

 

Yeah Yao needs to lear one dribble, pumpfake fake, turn shoot or dunk on someone.

 

YAO has to get high % shot, we can not afford him to have another off game
