Clutchfans Game Thread: Mavericks @ Rockets 2/20/2009

Josh Howard is such a bonehead. I would hate being his teammate or coach. He's a chucker but not only that....what did he have three fastbreaks or 2-on-1's where he pulled up for jumpers? Inexcusable.

 

considering the dramatic changes recently, this is pretty good. A win is good, but I wouldn't blame a close defeat either

 

winning?

 

Still in the game. Rockets will win the second half. Howard is killing Artest. Artest needs to step up his game. Punish Howard for doubling on Yao.

 

Imagine how disapointed you would be if you were watching 1 for 8 Rafer tonight instead of 4 for 6 Aaron. Lucky you.

 

Brooks is way to hyperactive, control the ball. Play like he did when he was starting and we went 6 for 7. I don;t know what happened to him, too much pressure???

Brooks the way he is playing is giving Lowery a serious shot at starting.

The way he is out of control sends shivers down my spine in any possible post season game.

 

I already knew we were going to get a bad shot off.

Does anyone know when we got a good shot and actually even made one in the final few seconds of even a quarter???

 

FIRST HALF BOX SCORE

YAO 12 POINTS, 7 BOARDS
BROOKS 8 POINTS
ARTEST 7 POINTS

 

I think so as well !! Everyone has nothing but good things to say about him and I like that he is fearless and just goes after every ball and drives like he has no fear !! We will see in time !!

 

he is the only one being double teamed.

who else are the Mavs going to double?

 

That is bull****, Mcgrady is making other players worse

 

we are so screwed...

 

The Rockets do the stupid tick the clock down play.

 

Yao needs more touches too, If he was playing with Lowry in the starting lineup he probably would have 20 points by now. Brooks is holding Yao back from his offensive ability. I'm loving Yao's rebound and how hard he is trying on defense though. He needs to step up his blocking though.

 

Man the Mavs are a bunch of losers.

I've never seen a supposedly good veteran team be so happy to be up by 16 in the regular season. They were just gushing on the bench like they advanced in the playoffs or something.

Other news, our young PGs are making mistakes but they are doing some good things out there.

 

Alston only has 1 point tonight, but his team is winning big

 

Our point guards are alright. I don't mind them giving them their learning curve. This Wafer kid though, he needs to be reigned in, big time.

 

Brooks 4-6 8pts, 4 assists, 4 rebounds, 1 stl, 3 TOs

I dont care what you say, cut down on the turnovers and those are very solid numbers.

 

i think that brooks is trying too hard to be Cp3... but he doesnt get, is that cp3 gets his team involved and then goes on a scoring rampage, unless he has too... and he controls the ball and picks apart the opposing teams defense... its too many turnovers so far and bad plays set up... i miss rafer alston

 

I was just thinking that ! When I saw Artest I said " He's gonna shoot a 3-point fade away 30 ft from the basket !
