ClutchFans Game Thread: Pistons @ Rockets 12/12/2007

Good Win! I like the assist numbers. 8 man rotations, all 5 starters have nice assist numbers. Even Bonzi and Scola have 1. That looks more like Adelman offense.

Good defense too, JVG deserves credits on this aspect.

What jinx the Rockets freethrows, otherwise, they should have won this game comfortably.

Welcome back Rafer! Also welcome to the bench Mike James! Francis need to work his arse off to get in shape.

I also think Adelman will settle on a 8/9 men rotation very soon and there's a big chance he will go forward with tonite's rotation. Then, we can judge the progess of the Rockets.

 

Nobody mention that Boozer guy again.....he's just good.

I can see why Yao has so much trouble with...he's hitting off-balance shots and driving the smaller Suns players right to the basket.

 

the rockets might want to get a freethrow coach, a lot of players are really sub par to what they really should be(over the season so far, including tonight)...i think JVG use to do it so that the rockets had to finish each practice by making 10 straight freethrows, I wonder if RA does something similar or just leaves it on each individual to work on it themselves?

 

Two words:
Rafer + Defense

Sub-word:
Energy

 

Fixed it for ya

Rocket River

 

Ugly win. But, a win is a win. Hope we can defeat Mav. Go, Rocks.

 

LOL! the mavs can lose to anyone today, they are playing like crap.

 

Both our 2 superstars have made some clutch shots and clutch mistakes till the end, luckily the Detroits suck at 3 pts.

 

Thats what im saying you got people on here acting all angry after a win.

 

once again lol....

 

There were so many bad things that happend in this game that good. It's hard to enjoy this one. We stole a win. I'm glad, but there are a lot of mistakes. A LOT....when will this team get it through their head that Yao's got to touch the ball every possession if possible? Especially down the stretch you gotta find a way to get him the ball. He just made a hook shot 4 feet away from the basket. Tmac has no business shooting 19 footers. Take it to the basket...Yeah we won, but we wont win too many making decisions or playing like that

 

MJ helped? When? The first 2 games of the season?

What about the last 20+ games? Did you not notice that he has been wild and out of control on both ends of the court?

 

Good win because Rockets played great defense. However, I still don't like the way Coach played Yao most of this game. He spent too much time at the high post and weak side. Good thing was TMac was able to shoot his long jumper tonight. I was actually holding my breath when Tmac shot that long ball again towards the end of the game, but luckly it went in this time!

Yao missed too many easy shots. Not sure what's going on with that.

Man, Bonzi should really practice his free throws.

 

looks like francis will have to add another "DNP-CD" on his wall.


lol i kid.

 

We won? word?!?!

Haha, good game defensively...i was real p.o.'ed when t-mac and yao started chucking and not going to the rack...good win..

this game was like a jump shooter...we (the jump shooter), needed to see a shot go in (shot going in = win), then the shots (wins) start falling and everything is cool.

12-11 is alot better than 11-12...go rockets!

 

No he didn't. There are 59 games left.

 

how can bonzi shoot 8-9 from the line in Philly and 2-9 in the next game

 

1) I predicted a win on the game thread
2) Tmac and Yao elevated their game when they had too
3) Chuck is still THE HUSTLER
4) Rafer is back and we get a win
5) I saw heart tonight from the team
6) FT percentage does not matter when you have a team of bad azzes
7) Refs dropped the ball officiating Yao
8) Refs gave the pistons 2 chances to win with a 3 and one chance to tie with a 3 b/c they called the rock out on the rox. The pistons last touched that ball

We are above 500


Woot

 

I can't believe that TMac said that this was great game to build on. Either he is messing with our heads or he doesn't know what that sports cliche means!
