ClutchFans Game Thread: Mavericks @ Rockets 4/30/2005 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 4)

GOOD POST!! Lock the doors on the bandwagon, before it gets full again like last week!!! I hate all the bandwagon fans, just like last years 'Stros

 

Dallas in 6.

 

Dallas will win game 5 since their crowd will be twice as better as Houston's

 

I am upset. But I, & I am sure eveyone else here, will be tuned in Monday Night. I honestly can't see us losing in 4 straight though. This is going 7.

 

Get the answer max? TMac rebounded Stack's missed 2nd FT down 2, reach by howard knocks it away while it's still in Mac's arms under the basket (facing the baseline)...off Mac's fingertips and out of bounds

 

The Honeymoon is over, T-Mac ripping is starting.

 

Our role players looked tired. That's what you get for getting a bunch of dudes over 30 playing a 7-game series.

 

Y'all make me sick...Rockets played a hella of a game...sure they made mistakes but I can't believe you guys blaming T-Mac, blaming Yao, blaming James. The Refs practically handed the game to the Mavs...that's 3 games out of 4 that Yao's been taken out of the game due to foul trouble? You think Yao would've been in foul trouble if they called moving screen fouls in the beginning of the game. Utter crap...the refs fold due to Cuban's whining. Yao and Deke have been setting those kinds of screens all frickin year long. And to you all bandwagoners, grow some heart and stand by your team!

 

I'm skipping the next game.


I'll read about it here later, when I get back from drinking by myself ... somewhere far away from a TV set.



I can't take anymore. My brain hurts.

I had my "Cry some more, Cuban" photo all ready to go. It was not meant to be.

 

RIGHT NOW I'LL SAY IT

Rockets win the next 2

ROX IN 6!!

 

PF DEFINITELY. I'm not overly concerned with PG play. I think that Mike James will be a solid PG, though I'm not opposed to going out and getting another quality PG. But it's embarrassing watching the Rockets get killed on the glass because Yao and Mutombo are the only ones battling for rebounds.

 

That was a mistake by JVG.

He shouldve had Mutombo in the game w/ Yao to rebound. TMac should not have been put in that position.

The bottom line is TMac was just exhausted in the 4th quarter.

 

Mcgrady ****ed up big time in the 4th and Yao can't hold onto the ******* ball. GOD DAMNIT I'M PISSED.

 

I believe.

 

For that to happen, better not give Yao max.

 

guys...sh*t like tihs happens sometimes. we'll get em next time.


i still believe.

 

Except...if I thought that the problem was that the Rockets were becoming arrogant, Mcgrady would be getting the ball when it mattered...and missing.

He's disappeared. That's what's completely unacceptable. I'll accept that sometimes great players miss easy shots. I won't accept that a great player will fail to show up when it matters.

McGrady has failed to show up. If McGrady had missed those shots instead of Mike "I think I'm better than I am" James, I'd feel better.

 

Yeah I can't bash T-Mac though ... He played his guts out and played well. I can't blame him for be worn out in the 4th quarter. He had to do EVERYTHING in the first 3 quarters.

I still believe the Rox can win this series even if they lost game 5, but I do not believe they will win another game if Mike James is on the floor for an entire 4th quarter like today. He has no D and is way too careless. We have to find a way to get Yao the ball when the Mavs go small. That's the ONLY way to force them to put a big man in the game.

 

I agree. I would be less diappointed if Mavs just came out and were on-fire for the whole game and blow us out by 20. The Rockets should have won the last 2 games but for some reason they always have to sabotage their success by making stupid mistakes.

 

YES WE WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!
