ClutchFans Game Thread: Mavericks @ Rockets 11/21/2007

that would do no good in tmacs body.

 

Rox need to figure out how they want to guard the weakside picks or else the Mavs are gonna get wide open jumpers all night long.

 

i can see why you would say that but all we have to do is change the pg out.
we just don't have any scoring in our starting offense outside of tmac and yao, that's why we get off to such a slow start all the time

 

T-mac isn't play as good as he can...As a team, we should be killing them, but too many mistakes...

God, I have to hear SAS...

 

Why Yao's guarding their 3?

 

and yet we're down by 1 ]

that's why you're like most bandwagoners: those fans don't have patience. they get excited when a team does well and gives up when a team struggles.

and u judge a team that has ADMITTED they are struggling adapting to this offense.

yes u should give up b/c please don't get back on when we get it rollin 2 months from now.

 

u do know kobe has basically been a perimeter player this yr jacking up jumpshots too right? averaging just 7 ft attempts per game, around the same as tmac. taking the same amount of 3pt shots as tmac. taking the same amount of jumpshots as tmac.

just sayin

 

Agreed

 

T-Mac has to attack the basket in the second half.

Otherwise he's done a good job to get his teammates involved.

 

tmac should drive and stop settling. but when tmac struggles, he ALWAYS impacts the game in some ways: 5 assists, 2 steals, 1 block. he's getting others involved and he has made some key defensive plays. that's why you're a superstar.

 

tmac should understand that when he has a poor shooting night he should stop shooting. he has amazing basketball IQ and can affect the game in so many ways by making assists, and also he is an amazing lockdown defender. put him on dirk

 

Tmac needs to drive to the hole instead of shooting long range. His elbow dosen't allow him to this game.

 

When TMac chucks, we lose. When he drive, we win. Today, we have the chucker. 2/9. We lose.

Yao has been efficient 4/6 but he's not going to get many shots tonight.

 

Bye bye

 

lets hope we can put together some sort of run in the second half to give us a little cushion.

 

Actually, I think Rockets play well. It is Rockets' tempo!

 

Exactly, and that's why he's not having a horrible game. T-Mac's court vision is so good, always finds the open shooter.

 

We need to get Scola going. Chuck is a good defender but it hurts when he ends up with the ball as the clock is running out. And playing him alongside Mutumbo like in the second quarter... jeez.

 

It's unbelievable how many wide open shots T-Mac is able to get teammates. Now he just needs to be more assertive getting to the line. He didn't attempt a single free throw in the first half.

As for defense, Luther Head defending Stackhouse is a nightmare matchup. Head shouldn't be in the game unless the opposing team is playing with Harris and Terry at the same time. Yao needs to contest better on the pick and rolls. The Mavs are too good of a midrange shooting team to give up so many long jumpers like that.

Again, we're getting little production from the bench outside of some outside shooting from Luther Head. Frustrating.

 

What's unbelievable is the refs giving Harris every damn call! You so much as wink at the guy and he's in the first row.
