ClutchFans Game Thread: Lakers @ Rockets 11/14/2007

Since Bonzi just played one year for Kings, and he is very good at the offense. It wouldn't take too long for the Rockets.

 

usually a sign of a team who is not really as good as advertised, overrated, and possibly a contender masquerading as a pretender. I really hope we're not that team who wins a bunch of games, but

see - New Orleans Saints (07), Chicago Cubs (07), Dallas Mavericks (06), Jacksonville Jaguars (07-03), New York Giants (07-05), and etc.

We'll win a bunch of games only to lose momentum in a statement game or lose to a lowly team and lose some kinda homefield or something.


.................

 

Ugh, we just dropped down to the 7th spot.

 

true true

 

Exactly the reason Bonzi gets so many layups.

He cuts hard, has a great first step, very strong to the hole, and looks to pass MORE then Mike James. Only problem is he needs to stop blowing those damn layups.

Imagine when all our role players can play to RA's motion offense, all the scrubby talents we have now will become near-all-stars and our shooting woes will totally turn 180 degrees because of how many layups we will get.

IF a trade is in the works it will not happen till December 15th. One month away. I don't know what the Rockets can get but what happen to Mike Harris? Did he get picked up by a team?

 

your right he is taking them like 10- 15 feet from the basket he knows he ain't no nash or parker

 

xxx I think Rafer's new nickname should be Skip to my Balls.


Steve is getting scrubbed with no minutes

 

I can't recall since both our stars have been injury prone the last few years. But think about what your saying, its just plain stupid to insinuate Tmac faking or exaggerating an injury because he didn't want to play against a few hard teams in a row.

 

we need a good power foward that can shoot and runs for the ball only if chuck could shoot really good......

i remeber his free throws last year

 

but when you see tmac get injured don't you see that he is kinda exaggerating at times

 

WHAT?

 

that mike james is taking floaters from 10- 15 feet from the basket and forces up ... cause the only players that i know can do that effectively is nash and parker

 

I don't understand why every game we try to find a reason for our loss. Rockets has the same 2007 starting lineup with the merely addition of crappy players many calls "depth bench" or "role players" (hilarious), who may sporadically (rarely) emerge.

Now, the question is: if last year was a failure (yes, failure if you are/wannabe a championship contender) what do you expect this year with the same lineup?

We needed a PG and we still have Alston, we needed a PF and we still have Hayes, we needed a third scorer and we have... Who? Then we have a new coach added to give a new system to the Rockets: unfortunately someone forgot to acquire players that fit in his system...

So, it is not "tonight we loss because of FT" or "last night we loss because of divine intervention". It is we loose because the team is what it is. A good 4-6 seed team that will get their ass kicked in the playoffs. Yet again.

 

I was not one of them. I know kobe can play a team game if he wanted to.

 

I was talking about Bonzi. Mike James is no where close to understanding the system or play team basketball. Various times tonight I saw Rafer pointing to him where to go on the court.

o srry for the misunderstanding yea your right about mike tho

 

now don't make fun of shane, he tied the game up...

 

Chuck was a big part of why the Rockets were able to come back. Even Rafer had his moments, but we aren't getting anything out the point guard position and Battier has struggled a lot, as well. I take heart in the Rockets fighting back in this game when they were down 18 and lost McGrady.

Let's hope McGrady can get back soon. Steve Francis, your life is calling!

 

FRANCIS, IT'S TIME TO STEP OUT!!!!
