Clutchfans Game Thread: Rockets @ Cavaliers 12/23/2008

I can't stand these commentators. I expect homerism but ours are nowhere near this bad. Only OKC commentators this season have been worse. Celtics are pretty bad too.

 

Tracy's playing smart.

He's getting by Delonte but he's dishing it at the rim to a big man. I think the cavs want to see our offense degenerate to Tracy shooting over the smaller defender each time down the court. If we want to win, we have to continue going to the basket.

 

descent first half t mac has to continue to penetrate and post up

 

Despite everything, this is a really good game - good defence, offence - playoff-type atmosphere...

 

I see your point but i agree with McGrady.. **** the way the refs are calling this game that might just have been a foul. I rather have him with 1 then 2. The 3rd foul on Yao was B.S but the Landry one was correct he used his elbow 2 push off

 

I wonder why other teams dont sag on Lebron and make him make threes? I know it sounds easy, but in theory, it makes sense. Hard traps, and sag the middle keeps him form taking it hard to the hoop. It might not stop him, but his only weakness is his three point shooting.

 

Easily? No I think not.

They have a good record of course, but looking at the teams they're played and how many home courts they had, no I don't see them as top 5 yet.

 

but chuck must make the layup t-mac gave him damn it.... ,wasting t-mac 's creativity

 

To Refs:

Thx for the wonderful and entertaining play for the first half, but no thx, we want to enjoy the game, not some of your idiotic show.

 

Cavs aren't as good as their record, or, we should just be as good as 23-4. except we aren't due to injuries in the early part of the season. We're outplaying them in their arena without Yao for most of the game and ****ty officiating. I totally feel that we're a better team.

Rockets would beat the Cavs 4-2 in a 7 game series.

 

Great quality here also

Click Cavs. Should come after half time

 

The refs have been horrible pretty much playing 5 on 8.

Or 6 on 6.

 

I feel that unless both Yao and Tracy turn up the scoring in the 2nd half we are going to lose. Can we keep Lebron quiet?,Look at the damage that Mo Williams and D.West are doing. Big Z and Ben Wallace can hold Yao down unfortunately.
Rafer isn't doing badly, but I don't see Brooks being able to repeat his NJ performance which would help us so much.

 

It really is that simple but it ain't easy.

 

Why does Battier always get a pass for playing like crap?

Rafer has played well. I'll give him credit for a good game so far.

 

Enough bit-ching about the commentators. Their job is to be biased. They're HOME commentators. Get over it or mute it.

 

Yeah, its not simple, but ive seen quite alot of cavs games and a lot of teams meet him at the three point line. It s a recipe for disaster. Even Lebron looks hesitant to pull the trigger at the three.

 

Yao's fouls all came from flops, at least two of them did. They were pathetic, just ******* pathetic.

I'm not surprised if our players are feeling the referee pressure.

 

Look at their winning differential. On average, they winning margin is over 10 points a game.

They lead the league in defense and have actually assembled a great team around Lebron.

If you don't think they are top 5, then you don't know ***** about basketball.

The Cavs are easily a 60 win team. I think that qualifies as pretty damn good.

 

i find it freak'n hilarious that it's chinese culture night at where ever the rocket's play.
