ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Celtics 11/13/2005

Who ever is reading this post right now, YOU SUCK! The main
reason the Rox lost tonight is because of YOU! Tmac, Yao and
our guards didn't play well tonight because you suck so much,
by you watching and rooting for the Rox, you make them suck
as well. There is nothing you could do to change my mind.

There.... I felt better already.

 

I think the only good thing about this blow out is Swift finally got loose in garbage time. Now if only he could loosen up and play like that in quality time!

 

You know what my uncle said that. He said the NBA is only using him to make money but they would never let a Chinese be the NBA MVP and that they want him to be a 20-10 guy so they tell the refs to make stupid foul calls on him so he'll have to sit. My uncle is a Spurs fanatic so he is could care less. I told my uncle he was just prejudice and to be quiete but maybe he's right..

 

This is probably premature to say the least, but I honestly think that while our coach and GM tried their best to acquire 'talent' in the off-season, they've ended up with talented players that simply don't fit and won't fit into the team's structure/mold.

That's what I am worried about the most right now, because if this type of playing persists, the Rockets won't be able to do much to correct it besides trading those recently acquired talents such as SS and RA (I am more or less indifferent to DA, I think he can fit in any team as long as he's coming off the bench or something.

 

It's so much fun just reading these posts. Most people are so childish that they can only take a win instead of a loss, not to mention a bad loss like tonight. And they always blame Yao instead of other players or T-Mac.

 

this is what I worry about. maybe we should keep roster a little longer, give them more time. I have faith that they will get better and better, just like last season.

we only down 2-4. TMAC only play three games and YAO had 5 good games. one bad tonight.

support our team. go HOU!

 

Well, we havent even hit the ten game mark yet. So there is still some time to gel. Not a lot but some. The difference with this team instead of JVG's Knicks teams is that they were physical bangers which helped their defense alot. Even their point guard (Charlie Ward) won the Heisman Trophy. I dont think he needs to be fired, but he does need to make adjustments.

As for Yao, well, I really dont think he is gonna be much better. He does slow our team down and makes dumb fouls. It is the beginning of the season and he is having stamina problems???? WTF? I love Yao ,but the best I can hope for is a LEGITIMATE 20/10/2 center.

We need to look at sprewell seriously and keep an eye on Jayson Williams even though he had motor cycle accident he might be ready to come back. Look at TJ ford

 

Correct me if I'm wrong Board but I think this forum is to cheer when we win and cry on each others shoulder when we lose and that does include b****ing I have been a Roxs fan for 25 yrs and I love them but I'd personally rather come to this board and complain to relieve my frustrations than go look over the edge of a cliff...Just Kidding..Seriously I have been a member of this board, had to change my username, since 1996-97 and its the best stress reliever. When we lose 90 % of the board is going to complain,complain,comaplin, and then the next game we will be ready to go...Thats cause we LOVE our ROXS...

 

It's way too early. Give the team 15 more games and let's take another look. SS and RA are playing way below their (realistic) potential because they haven't adjusted yet. Let's wait and see. We are only 6 games into the season. Remember last year when we were 6-11? That was 17 games.

Some of you guys (not you in particular, tigermission1) need to stop the game to game mood swings. Against the Heat, we were encouraged by the effort without Tracy, but we choked late again. After the Nets game, it was all about "Tracy makes everyone else so much better, it's amazing...blah blah blah..."). Now after this game, people are ready to jump off bridge again. Quit riding the yoyo. Chill out. A whole lot can change in the next 10-15 games. The one clear conclusion we can make is the team hasn't come close to finding itself yet after 6 games.

 

If you think they're bad, you should hear the Mavericks TV crew...

Houston 14 30 19 19

Boston 28 27 29 18

 

Hehehe, nice try Phil ...

 

Thats what I have said before..We have alot of new players learning a new system and thats going to take time. We only know that Yao and T-Mac are legit starters the other 3 positions really are up for grabs...We'll just have to see but I really think it will come together..their is just too much talent on this team and no chemistry..YET

 

Boston lives and dies by the 3.
Tonight they were hitting them.
No biggie.
Hopefully Swift can play like that more often.
Im just gald T-Mac is back!!!

 

I'm glad stromile was the best scorer tonite but it's sad to see the rockets dropping some sure games like this...

 

We let the guy R. LaFrentz like a super star in the first half. Who is resposible for defending the guy? He is a PF.

 

Because in his first game after coming back 2 weeks early from an injury, Tracy threw down 38/10 in 35 mins yesterday while Yao did 18/2 in only 22 mins. Some of us (like me) incorrectly predicted that Yao would carry the load tonight since Tracy would be worn out. Didn't happen. Does that answer your question?

 

OK, after the humilitating loss, I decided to watch the FREE Clint Black concert on DirecTV (Ch. 124) - Clint told a brief joke about Albert Einstein and Ozzy Osbourne leading into his famous "Lights Are On, but Nobody's Home" song. Although, I'm not a big C&W fan, I really do like Clint Black, and I can't think of a better song to describe the Rockets right now.

 

man that loss hurt...the chemisrty is gone, the scoring is gone, the mojo is missing.

What do we do next? [it couldn't all be missing Mike James]
