ClutchFans Game Thread: Lakers @ Rockets 1/10/2007

He played til almost the end of the game. And then he was up and talking, smiling, and laughing. Didn't seem like it.

"Houston also snapped a four-game losing streak to the Lakers with little scoring help from Tracy McGrady, who'd topped 30 points in each of his last six games. McGrady had only eight points and appeared to aggravate his troublesome back late in the first half. He also had 12 assists."

 

TMac didn't feel right about his back. But I doubt that he aggravated it. TMac played until the last 2 mins and we were up by 20pts. He should be OK after A good rest.

 

cook hit him pretty akwardly and hard at the end of the first half. he just went through some treatment yesterday (i believe) so it may have caused something. if it was really bad he would have probably not played in the fourth during garbage time as much as he did. he probably played to loosen it up a bit more. i think it just got a bit stiff hence he was pretty off tonight after making that first shot of his.


oh yeah sick dunk by tmac too in the first half...only to be topped by luther at the end

 

Well, appear to... They judged based on exactly what we watched on TV. He should be fine.

 

And Minnesota lost, and Denver's gonna lose.

Life is good.

 

He didn't play horrible. He shot the ball horrible. There's a big difference.

There's more to winning than shooting the ball.

How did Shane and Juwan get all their shots?

How did Luther get his dunk? Luther's man was cheating on Tmac and Luther drove past Evans.

He got us all the shots we wanted because he drew so much attention

 

he's coming back with a new name instead of deon200!!

 

It didn't look like that big a deal. I think they are being aggressive treating his back during games... doing whatever will help keep it loose. And I think it's a damned good idea.

 

We should root for San Antonio to lose, not Denver. Denver and Minnesota are not in our league.

We are trying to overtake the Spurs not the Nuggets

 

I'd rather Denver win. I really think we have a chance to take Spurs position.

 

McGrady was masterful...too bad not everyone can see that...

 

Look who is crying now.

 

and I thought we were pretty hard on our team

"I thought last night was embarrassing. This is purely just disgusting to watch, and yet we continue watching this sad display of basketball because we're loyal fans."

"Vlad and Cook are both pathetic."


"Lakers are extremely soft inside without Kwame and Lamar."

 

The playoffs are not a given in the West. Rockets go on a 5-game losing streak, the Wolves and/or Nuggets go on a 5-game winning streak, and we're in 8th place. But, you're right- I'm just saying that because either one losing is a good thing.

 

Lets go Real slow so maybe you don't get left behind. I said that Rafer is trying to score with YAO UNAVAILABLE. With Yao gone, so is 25 points of scoring. What part of that do you not understand? When Yao, Bonzi, and Snyder return there will be an abundance of scoring. What will be important is limiting turnovers and playing defense. I know you enjoy being a Rafer hater. You will be silenced just like the TMac, JVG, Battier, and JHo haters have been.

 

lol at JVG in the post game press conference.

T-mac:I had a rafer night tonight.

JVG:Heh,no,you are hot compared to rafer.

 

This doesn't sound as bad cuz if his back was really hurting like it has in the past he would've just left the court instead he stayed and dished out 12 dimes and 5 boards yes his back did affect his scoring but looking at it from a positive perspective he managed to stay in the entire game and did so much so he'll be alright!!!!

 

Did they really say that? Rafer better keep it up....
