ClutchFans Game Thread: Knicks @ Rockets 2/12/2006

Its more like the Knicks big men aren't quick enough to play the fronting defense on Yao consistently.

I'm really interested in seeing what an aggressive Yao will do to a Phoenix or Dallas team (one that will front him till the end of time).

Once he figures out how to handle that type of defense, it will truly become "pick your poison" with him. The foul trouble is improving, as is the pick and roll defense.... the last thing for him to conquer is the front.

 

All the people on here saying Tmac should stop shooting please take a chill pill. This is not Ryan Bowen or a role player. This is your super star, you live and die with your superstars its as simple as that.

 

Agreed... there are people here actually asking David Wesley to get the majority of the shots, since hs' shooting such a high percentage.

3-4.

yea...

 

violette palmer is the worst ref ever. does she even know what a travel is? or does she just make calls for the coach to complains the most?

 

I cringe everytime they run the Iso play for Juwan. Does anything good ever come out of it?? I just dont get it. Another TO......

 

I disagree. You live and die with your team, not an individual player. When someone is not hot at a certain night, adjustment needs to be made so that team can still win.

 

Yao and Rafer and DWes are playing GREAT, they're winning this game for us so far.

Now if McGrady makes just a few jumpers, this game would be over.

EDIT: forget that, I want to see McGrady make a few more passes like those to Yao.

Some great passing by T-Mac, that's what we might need from him tonight more than anything else.

 

Thank you. I got it to work.

However, it plays in a small embedded window, and I can't figure out how make it fullscreen.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

 

T-Mac is 2-16 tonight. That is HORRIBLE. When is enough enough? Look we're trying to win games here. We can ill afford any more losses this season. I love T-Mac and he's my boy, but his skills would be better utilized as a passer and defender tonight.

 

I usually hate when she ref's as well, but to be fair she has been very decent and fair tonight.

 

If T-mac's cold shooting is this team's biggest problem... they'll be fine for the rest of the year.

 

I love the fact that even though Tracy is having a horrible shooting game, he's still able to impact the game with his amazing versatility (defense and passing; i.e setting up Yao and Wes the last couple of trips down the floor).

 

That was a goaltend on the Knicks, another BS call.

 

not true man we arent going anywhere with tracy shooting like this

 

woo, 2-17 for TMAC

 

from the start of the game this crew has made some questionable calls. overall the whole game has been crap.

the bright spots are definitely yao, rafer, and wesley. bogans is turning out to be a nice rotation player as well. and of course we are winning.

so not all is crap tonight.

 

I get the window viewer but it is prompting me for a username and password.

 

OK i understand that he's your boy, he's mine too, but you live and die with your superstar. If him and yao were to be 4-40 tonight, JVG would not change his strategy or the plays he calls. its really simple if we're going to live with tmac carrying us through games we're going to have to live with his off nights as well. if you want a player to be consistent for you, you have to be consistent with them.

 

Arrgh.... (frustrated by the IQ in here sometimes...)

The obvious point is that he's not going to have many games like this for the rest of the year.

 

Good point. That's how Spurs and Pistons win so many games.
