Clutchfans Game Thread: Lakers @ Rockets 3/11/2009

So it seems, VON is our only guy who can hit shots late.

Major choke job by Yao "Feet stuck in cement" Ming, and Artest.

What has happened to Shane's shot. He needs to go tan.

Wafer is the only guy who seems to ever do anything in the 4th quarter.

 

Reasons we lost this game

1. Artest's horribal decisions and horrible shooting.

2. Inability to get Yao the ball even when he's not fronted.

3. When Yao gets the ball, he should use JVG's strategy, score instead of passing when our outside shots are not falling.

 

Ron Artest needs to bring it offensively if he is going to talk mess against the best player in the league.

 

dont ever play Yao in the 4th. or he will be exposed and lose his overrated value

 

Internet rumors are killing this team.

 

I think he's a rhythm player. He can't be turned on and off at will as Kobe. When he's feeling it, you can't let him cool off for 20 minutes, then hope he can pick up right at where you want him to be. Aside from the first quarter, was Yao ever a part of the game tonight? He wasn't aggressive enough, true. But if I were him, I would be very frustrated. When TMac is playing, Yao is No. 2 option, he knows what to expect. Now, everyone is saying nice words - we are building around Yao, this is Yao's team. But hey, since we have promising young talented "PG", we are not sure when is the next time you will see the ball, but be alert, it may come.

 

Did you even watch the game?

 

What's scary is that Artest doesn't know his limitation. Like Reggie Miller said, "Artest thinks he is the best player in the NBA".

 

i miss tmac now...

 

How comes you guys are letting Adelman off the hook on this one, we were up 14 pts, Fakers were making a run, Adelman just refused to sub in the 2nd unit to stop the run!

 

It is just that the ball dont like him because he is chinese, isn´t it?

 

To me Kobe and Lebron play good every single night. They are superstars kinda like what T-Mac used to be. Just look at our team and ask yourself " can this team win it all ? " Sorry but the answer is " Hell No ! " with T-mac of 2-3 years ago " Hell yes ! " We don't have a superstar or a BIG 3 on our team. I love this team with all my heart and I hate when they lose but we will make the playoffs and probably get knocked out in the first round again. Les needs to spend some money and get rid of Yao and T-Mac ASAP or the Rockets will never see the 2nd Round of the playoffs better yet another Championship team

 

Battier killed us on defense and offense

 

Let me ask one question:

Has playing Yao more than a whole quarter at a time worked, ever?

 

you know we live or die by the 3

 

A lot of that is YAO's Fault. The dude couldn't seal off Pau to save his life.

 

I miss t-mac's drama shows.
