ClutchFans Game Thread: Pistons @ Rockets 11/18/2005

Bill Walton-Shut the f*** up. All he does is talk mess about the rockets and brag about the pistons.

I cant stand that guy, and his voice, so fake.

Keep the crappy lineup JVG, crappy lineups win us games.

 

DW is fighter, no wonder JVG likes him

 

A year ago Wesley would have dunked that on the entire Pistons frontcourt. Whats wrong with him this year?

 

The Wallaces are good defenders, quick hands.

 

Wesley dunk on their entire team? David Wesley?

 

Normally, when great players are struggling to do one thing, they look for other ways to help their team. And McGrady is a smart enough player to realize that he can do other things to help out if at all possible.

The one thing affected the most by back pain/knee pain/etc. is your shot, which is mainly due to the fact that your shot 'form' is out of whack when you can't elevate as much as you want to, fadaway as much as you want to, etc; in other words your shot suffers from your body being out of sync, which is what's happening with McGrady.

I just don't see the benefit of playing him and continually damaging him even more (he's progressively gotten worse with every game he's played since his already pre-mature return).

Here's the deal: if McGrady is not near 100% with 60 games still left in this season, then there won't be much to salavge, quiet frankly (especially since we'll be presumely something like 5-15 by then without McGrady playing).

 

WTH are you talking about? He's playing pretty darn good and has been aggressive, but has been stripped a few times.

Detroit running away with the game now. It's absolutely frustrating to watch the Rockets having to go down every single position pretty much to the final seconds of the shot clock and ending up as a 1-on-5 position .

Seriously, if our guards won't start helping out on the offense, then the ONLY thing JVG and CD should be doing is making trades, because we ain't winning a damn thing until then.

 

This team is no fun to watch.

 

I agree if T-Mac's back is as bad as he says then let him rest. Maybe he can come back and help the Rockets make the playoffs as a lower seed.

 

This offense is horrible.

 

Is Yao the type of player that can carry the Rockets by himself? With his foul problems and bad stamina I don't think he can. Who else on this roster is going to step up if T-Mac goes out for an extended period?

 

another high scoring affair i see

 

That Jack in the Box commercial cracked me up.

"That's just wrong."

 

DW made a couple of 3's in a row now, so hopefully some ray of hope on that front.

 

Why does JVG play Barry instead of Head? Barry is horrible of defense.

 

The second half of last season was an exception. Now what you see is typical JVG basketball. He is the cancer to basketball games.

 

Yao is playing his heart out- the passion is there

 

They just had a 12 pt quarter. The offense is horrible.

 

Wesley & Yao are playing hard...good defense there Stromile...oh and shut up Bill Walton, you don't have to fill every second of airtime

 

More importantly he is hustling. Its hard for me to critisize a player who throws his body around like Wesley has been.
