ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Bucks 12/28/2004

If he wants motivated players, why is he trading for the chumps he's got and why is the most highly motivated player on this team sitting on the injured list?

 

I remember his rookie year when Mount Mutombo hit Yao in the throat with his elbow, Yao was acting like a little boy. He acted as if he was going to die or something.

I bet his parents pamper the heck of him, being that hes the only child and all.

 

You have no clue how I just want a player to hit Yao. I just want to see if he would react and come back at them or just look like a punk. I know people do not want fighting but I think it may be what Yao needs.

 

What happened to that Yao that dunked on Theo Ratliff and screamed so loud he got a technical?

I think Yao is afraid of JVG and of making a mistake...he is thinking too much.

I think Yao is sick and tired of Van Gundy's constant screaming and playing the blame game on the players and he doesn't know how to respond to it.

 

He wont unless he would sign the dotted line next season.
He might take the qualifying offer (7+ millions for #1 pick) and
walk.

 

Hey look...I know it's a depressing loss and the team is in turmoil right now but the best team in the NBA (Suns) just got crushed by the Spurs. I can understand our loss but how do you explain the Suns loss?

We'll be fine, more trades to come I'm sure and we'll get it together.

 

we sure are.

 

Yeah, next guy we get is Kevin Willis. Then we will not only have the oldest team in the NBA but the oldest team in NBA history. How can you compare this team to the Suns.

 

I think it's been done. Some one pushed Yao earlier this season, but I can't remember who. Yao did the raising of the palms thing with a "what did I do" look on his face.

 

One word, Yao's a pimp a RocketsPimp

 

The Suns lost to who many feel will win the NBA title this year. We got destroyed by a lottery team that was 7-16 before we played them. We SUCK!!!

 

We play decent against good teams and lousy against bad ones.

This team has quit on JVG, they are clearly sending a message.

Stop the bleeding Les, FIRE JVG.

I understand it was the Spurs, but how does a team like the Suns get beat so badly? Do they have character issues? Did they give up?

 

No,

They played a bad game against a VERY good opponent.

It was not like they played the Bobcats or Bucks.

They got beat by a better team. Things like that happen to teams every now and then. It might be ok if we were like 20-8 and lost this game by 20+ pts. But we are 13-15. The Bucks are not the Spurs. Do not compare our loss to that by the Suns.

Dont forget we have also gotten blown out by the Pistons, Mavs, and have lost to lottery teams like the Bobcats, Hawks, and now the Bucks.

I dont see how you can be optimistic after this loss. How will things get better??? Look at our schedule in January and the fact that we STILL have no PF or PG before you answer that question.

 

No. But then again, the Suns don't have a dozen or so world-class ugly losses behind them so far this season.

 

Again...I understand they played a good opponent, but there's no way they should have been blow out like that. All I'm saying is we are in temporary disaray and lost by a bunch. The Suns are clicking on all cylinders and got absolutley crushed!

 

Dude, you may have hit upon something here. Did you notice how positively Yao reponded to Del Harris this summer at the Olympics? He clearly doesn't like the way JVG is treating him.

 

Been saying this for 2 years.
