his defensive stops on Gordon were game changing plays, they allowed us to win, of course Tmac was so money down the stretch
correction: JVG IS a coach for this team. unless im misunderstanding. i duno. hes a defensive mastermind for putting battier on gordon for only the last 2 or so minutes as to not wear him out. plus rafer was gettin raped by him so something had to be done. good win! tmac is fierce!
Switching Battier to Gordon to shut him down in the last minutes proved very smart for Van Grumpy, because he was lighting Rafer arse up!
that's not a great game, the whole game counts. I'm not trying to hate on battier, don't tell me he had a great game on 5-15 shooting. battier has helped mcgrady carry this team since yao went down, not tonight.
Like I said earlier, he's never had a good game against us. Great win! I'm impressed with this team. To take this one in spite of Rafer was inspiring. Watching Tracy (and the team) bounce back after last night's heartbreak gives me hope about the season. This Rockets team has heart.
Did you watch the game or just read the boxscore? Battier had several huge blocks and rebounds in clutch time.
That was the worst I've seen the Bulls play all season, save for a loss to Philadelphia earlier this season. I don't even want to look at that boxscore. That may have been the worst game of Kirk Hinrich's career, save for his first week in the NBA.
amazing defense is not seen in the box score. clutch shots arent either. but yea maybe calling it great is a stretch.
By FAR the best win of the season. Everything was against us, Rafer AND the refs were determined to make us lose this game....Justice was served, there is a God! This is a character win, just pure guts and heart. T-Mac, Battier, Deke are the new "Rocket Trio".
