ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Blazers 12/20/2006

JVG is not the coach for the rockets, he isn't good enough by far to get us to the promise land... that being said this game is being lost by our pg play on the floor... when tmac is in the game, more then the added scoring, he helps us with smart plays near the end of the game...

 

If we let Jho shoot the last one instead of head; if we let Alston shoot 3 in clutch... We are too conservative...

 

Houston shot 95% from the FT line on the road. of course half of that was Yao, but still...

 

Yao got good stats, we loose again, but it's not Yao's fault, we missed so many shots, eapecially Bonzi.

 

that was a bad loss. This tmac injury thing is really starting to piss me off. The Rockets should be 19-6...

 

disappointed that we lost. I think our offense needs to be more consistent.

 

At this point, I would try just playing Reefer for the last 5 to 6 minutes of the game. It is the only time he does well at all.

 

His last 2 shots shouldn't even count. Too little too late. As far as I'm concerned, Rafer was 5/15, 8 assists, 5 TOs tonight

Our offense is pathetic. I know he's valuable, but things shouldn't degrade this much when Tracy is out.

 

LOL. How many 40 mins he actually got. And how many munites he got altogether? He surely can not learn rbing from the bench... And he is a rookie whose main weapon is scoring, not only a PF. If you only cares about rebounds, play Hayes all night, he is better than anyone.

 

Exactly. He wasted 3 seconds not fouling and another 3 seconds not setting a screen for Rafer. Ballgame

2 mistakes in 2 plays. I know it's hard to imagine, but we would be a lot worse if he played

 

We could have won if we didnt take 5 sec's to foul, and then we chose Jarret Jack to foul? WHY Rockets, Why?????

 

well maybe if he didn't waste 5 seconds trying to get a pick we would've had time to do something with the ball at the end

 

I disagree. When a team lost, it's the whole team's fault, including Yao. Yao's stats are meaningless if the team don't win.

 

this team without TMAC is hopeless. Always come up short. same pattern as from last year. CHOKED!

 

Lose head in the last minute, and lose the game
Yao's good, but Rockets just not good enough in the west.

 

Rafer's IQ < # of testicles on Xena the Warrior Princess.

 

Rockets can't win without T-mac and T-mac's back makes him Grant Hill part two. We can't even beat the rebuilding Blazers. I hate to say it but this team is DOA, SOL....etc.

 

You don't say.
We all know it's always gonna be Yao's bad in that case: if he shoots and misses-not clutch; if he does pick and roll and the other misses-not brave enough to be THE ONE!

 

Our PG is not playing. Rafer is just somebody who brings the ball up the floor

 

Rafer is not made to play without t-mac. He is simply not made for that. Luther's decision making still leaves much more to be desired. I'm still wondering why Yao didn't touch the ball at all within the last 2 minutes. The ball should be in Yao's hands the last minute for every possession, not in the hands of our trigger happy guards.
