ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Blazers 4/3/2008

I've noticed that too.

 

it's been like that for as long as i can remember.

 

I had a feeling you were going to chime in sooner or later...

 

Battier should have been on the court for the last of couple of minutes.

 

just wish we could have stuck with him a little longer. now that was a bad trade

 

unlike hayes, he lets his opponent gets any position they want. the only thing he does well, like battier, is to put the hands in their faces when they shoot. but as a big man, he sucks at keeping his guy farther away from the basket.

 

That same athleticism that he lacks on the offensive ends allows him to be exploited on the defensive end.

 

The last 2 minutes were horrible, just horrible. Why? Because we did fall in love with those 3s, that's all.

Tracy gotta attack more and take smarter shoots than his last 3. He will finally get his calls i belive

 

i'm not saying you throw him on the scrap heap for struggling as a rookie, but i mean there's only so long you can let a guy hurt you out on the court if there's an alternative (this would apply to rafer if there was an alternative). he couldn't run the offense, threw the ball away, and wasn't making anything. he had to sit. while bobby jackson has been hit or miss, it's a veteran hit or miss so i can see why the thinking has basically become to stash brooks until next season and see if an off-season gets him to the level we need.

if the west wasn't so damn ridiculous, maybe we could afford to let brooks learn, but for now i say he's gotta prove he'll play like tonight more often and not like he did for about 6 weeks.

 

He's a big body, and Scola is -- on most nights -- an atrocious defender. He plays hard and rebounds, but he can't play man-to-man.

 

Why would they? They havent called the fouls all season. Why start now?

 

hayes needs to work with scola on that karl malone hand raping that he has mastered

 

Sounds different to me but OK.

 

Scola is getting killed again by the longer pf. He's a try hard guy, but he isn't long or quick enough to play those types.

 

wow, suddenly barkley and kenny are on yao's jocks just to put the rockets down. unbelievable.

why didn't they give him props like this when he was playing?

 

I said this earlier but I'll say it again... we are getting balanced scoring like we used to... this is what we need and gain by utilizing more of our bench.. give novak some time and utilize the full rotation RA!!! that is my only wish if we make it to the playoffs...fresh legs are always better than tired legs.

 

Go GO GO,aha!

 

What will Charles say??

 

it's like watching me guard someone.

just keep backing off and hope they miss the jumper. unfortunately, aldridge is pretty good at making them.

 

Mutombo = leading scorer??
