ClutchFans Game Thread: Lakers @ Rockets 3/16/2008

Jackson saying that Chuck's free throw shot is the ugliest he's ever seen. I concur. How can you be in the NBA and have a ft stroke like that?

 

Just like the law of averages says Rafer is going to start going down hill, it also says Mcgrady is going to get his points later on. I'm not worrying about it.

 

Thank god for Rafer, because Mac is doing terrible so far.

Hopefully he heats up. Although, I think the main thing is...the guy needs rest. 48 min games will do that to anyone.

 

Tmac needs to sit aside for a while!

 

you guys are dissing already. Come on, hes J is not going in and hes passing. Hes playing smart, not just playing hard

 

We need Scola to make some shots, itll take pressure off Mac when he drives,

 

RA needs to get tmac a layup or something to get his confidence going

meanwhile rockets are playing 3 v 5 on offense with chuck and mutombo, bull**** fouls on scola once again screws us

 

jesus christ one quarter and everyone is wondering if t-mac is quitting on us, you guys are pathetic

 

yeah hopefully tmac drives some more. he had that 1 on 1 fastbreak against ramanovic and pulled up? you see kobe pulling up there? or lebron or wade? that's at least 2 ft's if not an easy layup.

 

great quarter by Rafer and solid defense all around. unfortunately he's not going to continue shooting 100% from three. we need t-mac to step up.

 

Well lets hope T-Mac realizes that there is a very important game going on and he wakes up !

 

Need to replace Mike Harris with Mutombo. We need someone to score inside.

 

If we play on national and against Lakers McGrady just has to suck. If he wants to play like that he should go home. I HATE IT! 0-5. I hate it so much.

He cannot drive inside and draw fouls, just cant.

 

exactly, he looks like he doesn't know what to do with the ball right now. sit him down and let him just watch the game for a lil bit.

 

Rafer

Took a few shots that were well guarded and missed those, but I can't be too mad about him taking shots as he was hitting from the parking lot!

This game is gonna be an instant classic. Neither team will be willing to lose this one. Can't wait to see the rest. I really wish we had Landry, but Landry for Pau is a very fair trade off.

 

What's up with the Tmac hating? We are leading after the 1st quarter. Can you guys try to be happy with it?

 

We don't think that's a fair statement!!!

Sincerely,

Pretty difficult to elevate and shoot over a 6'10 guy. When he drives, he runs into another one or two 6' 10 guys.

I'm not saying we can't beat the lakers but you can see why if they get Gasol and Bynum back, its going to be tough as hell for Mac.

 

nah, no one questions that. he just looks HESITANT. we can't have that right now in a game of this magnitude.

 

TMAC's getting shots, he's just missing. But he's hustling and passing. Lots to happen in this game yet.
