ClutchFans Game Thread: Raptors @ Rockets 12/21/2005

Thats because Mike James is a damn good basketball player, with heart.

 

That's true. Now is the time for JVG to be 'creative'. Start playing Swift and Baxter even if they get off to a rocky start. Make some creative lineups and play a quicker game. Unfortunately, I don't think the word is in his vocabulary.

 

People labor others as "YOF" or "YOH" should be banned, all they do is sarprating us into opposite groups, creating hate. ppl all are trying to have some rockets talks, that's all, stop god damn laboring others.

 

The only offensive game Stro had in college was the post up in the paint or the block post up and dribble turn around jumper where he could just jump over everybody. That's not gonna work in the NBA. A player has to develop his moves and he has to make moves quickly, not hold the ball for 3 or 4 seconds before making a move.

Stro looks lost on the offensive end. And he looks dead on the defensive end. Sorry, hate to say it. I was rooting for him, but he just looks like he don't know what's happening out there. He doesn't move offensively and he doesn't move defensively. With his athleticism and recovery ability, he should overplay everything. He ain't giving us nuthin.

 

You give that supporting cast to kobe and he'll still lose to the raptors. it's hard to ignore the YOF Here talking nonsense. it's as if there enjoying seeing the rockets lose.

 

It were posters like you who pissed off a lot of fans, YOFs or not.

 

Stro has to have the Worst basketball brain in the business. IF GUNDY HA ANY HAIR, HE WOULD LOSE IT IN A MONTH AFTER COACHING THIS DUMBO.

 

TMAC soft. Kobe a warrior.

 

blazer-- I usually agree with you but T-Mac is actually getting off really easy from the posters on this board.

We did just get blown out by the worst team in the league, after T-Mac proclaimed in the Chronicle today that everything would be alright as long as he was on the floor.

The few criticisms of T-Mac on this board tonight does not even compare to the bashing Yao got a few weeks ago-that was brutal.
And that was with Yao usually being the top scorer and rebounder and playing against the best teams in the NBA . (And now with the knowledge he did all that with a painful toe)

 

I think loseing DEKE is huge for us.


when we have YAO, DEKE was not that important, but when TMAC alone, DEKE's present is sooooooooo critical

 

No yao-bashing, life is boring

OK, keep the hope alive, guys. Just imagine how deep will be rox when all are back from the injuries. Hopefully it will not be too late.

 

No, it was posters who were claiming that the rockets were a losing franchise before yao came along. or the rockets dont deserve yao.

 

Who the hell hates Tracy? Everyone loves the guy, but the point people are making is that Tracy and Yao need each other period. Don't turn this into a YOF Versus a TOF discussion. We all know Yao couldn't do it by himself and its not looking to good with T-Mac by himself either especially when we have no center.

 

I wouldn't say that. Tmac was triple teamed tonight. Kobe was too last night, but he was in a rare zone, he doesn't score 62 every game.

 

Fair is fair. i have greatly underestimated yao's value to this team. it's become evident to me that yao is a huge part of our structure and any future success.

 

We would have won this game if deke was healthy. We definitely win if yao were in there. It sucks to play with no center especially when your offense is based on having a big man in there.

 

Only reason for T-mac played like this is: he is hurting, I will be not surprise to hear T-mac will be out of a month tomorrow. It's really sad. I waste the league pass.

 

sharif abdur whatever's looking like a hell of a lot better choice than what we picked up. ryan bowen is way way over-rated by jvg. his being a liability on offense far outweighs his rare impacts on games. we have become the 2003 orlando magic.

 

no 2003 magic was way better. At least tmac was healthy.

 

Idiot, I didn't hear you saying that when yao was playing with the same supporting cast playing even worse.

Repeat after me: it's all Yao's fault.
