ClutchFans Game Thread: Magic @ Rockets 12/19/2007

The Lakers will not trade Kobe. They are playing better right now. The only trade the Rockets can do will be with a team that is also in dire straits as the Rockets.

 

I see all the idiots are out tonight.

 

Anyone else think Yao plays too much? Howard gets a long break, comes back in fresh. Where's Deke? Just a cheerleader at this point, I guess.

 

The Coach and Team mates needs to let TMAC HAVE IT.

His attitude right now is just bad. If you are injured, just say so and dont play, and for a change, CHEER your teamates, show some emotion.

He walks up and down the court like he is 68 yrs of age.

This guy cannot take us anywhere. Its not even about tonights game anymore.

Win on Lose, TMAC needs to be traded.

This team is not great right now, but with TMAC rockets will never turn this around. We basically lost out lead once he came in.

He just plays no defense.

 

no assist from Tmac, with 1-10 for two ,1-3 for three

 

before we blame our role players suck, let's look at bogans, he's playing better than all of current role players, which we thought was worse than snyder

 

he def looks like he knee is bothering him.

 

Yup Yao needs some rest, dudes shot looks flat when he is tired...

 

He is hurting the team right now, he enter the game and the offense stop. I know you want to play butt is the job of RA to sit him down.

 

TChuck hurt this team. Missing FTs hurt this team. Missing layups hurt this team. Turnovers hurt this team. Not closing out hurt this team. Ugh! We're are horrible when we have the lead. We're even worse when we are behind because we just can't catch up.

 

It looks like Bogans worked on his outside shot. Our players (excpet Yao) are too lazy to do that.

 

Mac isnt even cutting, or trying...why is rafer with the ball on the top of the key at the end of the quarter??????

 

What T-Mac is doing is trying to make sure no one else is interested in him so that Rox cannot make a reasonable trade out of him.

 

You mean TChuck and Idleman?

 

Why would you think Yao would get that treatment?
In order to receive Superstar treatment - amazingly - you need to be a superstar.

Wow.. my faith in the Houston Rockets is being put to the test

 

I have been saying this since TMAC started this disappearing act. What an uninspiring player?

You get paid to play 4 quarters, not 2, or the last 4 mins of the last quarter.

THIS GUY IS NOT TRYING AND GETTING PAID THE MOST ON THIS TEAM.

UNACCEPTABLE

 

It's amazing, but the Rockets have a long way to go. I don't think Rick realized the type of players he has to work with. He does now. I can sense some major changes to the team later this year or in the offseason.

 

TMac was moving well in the first quarter. When we hit our slump he all the sudden started moving pretty gingerly.

Before that he was blocking shots, getting steals, hustling. Even if he wasn't hitting his shots. Then - bam - I don't know what happened.

Also, when it is clear that the Magic are going to double Yao and keep him from scoring, I don't understand why we don't try a play *other* 'than stand around and try and give Yao the ball'. Get some damn movement.

 

At the first sign of trouble the team abandons the motion offense...dang it...if they would just stick with it.

DD

 

we built our lead while he was in the game...... he presence on the court alone gives our other players more open shots, he defense isn't lock down but its def not that bad. Lets exaggerate as much as we can why don't we?
