ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Blazers 3/22/2004

Don't mean to be an a**hole and if someone else already pointed it out, ignore me, but 10Asst:5 TO is actually a 2:1 ratio. A PG with a 5:1 ratio would have Rox near 55 wins this year

 

That's sarcasm by the way

 

I love steve!!!!

I love yao!!!

I love the rox!!!


keep the team together!!

I'm fgn drunK!!!

 

This is supposed to be a foul, at no time can a defender have two open hands on the offense player's back when he has the ball. The most he is supposed to be able to do is use his forearm

 

I got it again.

 

I am so surprised and appalled to see so many negative posts about Franics after this guy nearly had a triple-double (22-9-10, 50% FG). Ok, Yao delivered for us and he should be the focus of our praise. But can we show a little support to Francis?

 

I think they started putting them together when it looked like Portland was up by 6 at the end of the game.

At least ESPN2 showed the Yao dunk on Rat / scream (which gave Elliot a good laugh).

 

I'm not drunk this morning but I was feeling good watching the game last night. Anyway, I don't care about the Steve bashers here I know people want to see the Rox win games. But I'm here to tell ya that if Steve put up the kind of numbers he did last night on a somewhat of a consistent basis who could stop us? Yeah I know the turnovers, he dribbles too much, can't pass to the cutter on a fast break but you know what I like this Rox team and I love it with Steve at the point. I hope they don't break up this nucleus even if we don't go deep in the playoffs. We will have 1-2 punch sort of like the Gary Payton Shawn Kemp days of Seattle. Where you have an extremely talented point guard and a talented low post player. If it works out and Yao stays here after the rookie contract is up things could turn out really nice. What can I say I've got Stevie's back and I love my rockets even though they aren't going to win every night.

Playoffs here we come!

 

What's the NBA record for most blown double digit leads in a season?

 

Steve played a great game. However, his mistakes in the last several minutes and also that careless TO in overtime nearly killed us. I wish that he would have gone to Yao/Mo for those two shots he missed in the last several minutes.

The Mo to Yao passes were great.

Cat got yelled at by JJ for not getting back on D and Portland got two easy breakaway dunks in transition. And Cat also failed to box out Randolph on that FT which resulted in a basket.

Love to see that Steve gets emotional. He loves Yao. Is it still too late to go to San Francisco?

Now the officiating is really pissing me off. Rockets is not gonna win many games if the opponents shoot 20+ more FT than us. Not only Yao, SF and Cat are murdered under the basket and they rarely get the calls!

 

Close one, too close. What was JVG thinking when he started the 4th quarter w/ Oakley-Spoon-JJ-Cat-MJ? I know Yao and SF needed some rest, but how can you put in a lineup we've never seen in the critical part of the game. Oh well, we won.

SF had a good game, some late TOs almost threw it away, but he did everything he could to win that game. Nice to see Yao finally wake up and play like he should.

 

I saw the highlights this morning and I'm glad we won...These collapses are getting old, but a win is a win...

go rox!!!
