ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Grizzlies 1/30/2006

Ew. Just... ew.

 

The real season starts Wedensday night against Milwuakee.

 

Bleeding from the nose?

 

Van Gundy, here's a tip for ya:

Keep Yao and TMac on the floor at the same time!!!!!

The whole point of getting Yao back is to take some pressure off Tmac and vice versa. Obviously, that's negated when they're never on the floor together. Jeebus.

 

In the throat.

 

the grizz are moving with the ball and creating open shots and the rox are standing around passing the ball to each other. also looks like no rocket wants to be the one to take the shot. theyd rather pass it around.

 

I have come to realize Stromile Swift was a bad move. Yes, he would be great in a high jump contest or 40 yard dash, but the dude is never going to be a consistent low post scorer. He has very bad handles. He makes bad decisions. My thoughts now are cut your losses and get whatever you can for him in a trade. He is not someone you build around, so he is just taking up space. Get a brain, a heart, and some handles, and maybe you will make it as an NBA starter.

 

this is the exact reason I suggest we assassinate the refs.


that or threaten their families... works everytime.

 

"what can we use as an excuse this time?"

we need a mimimum 3 week adjustment period as our roster returns (just enough time for some more to get injured?)

 

You called it.

 

looks like MemphisX will be crying himself to sleep after this thrashing of the grizzlies

 

Dear JVG,

Put Baxter in, <i>por favor</i>... you know, before we LOSE.

P.S. Mad props on ditching the combover.

 

Good one. It's even better with the title.

 

The supporting cast freaking SUCKS! Just a bunch of losers!

 

The superstars aren't exactly shooting lights out, either.

 

The only bright spot the past few games has been Rafer Alston's play, he's really coming into his own now as a legit starting PG.

Les Alexander said today that we had three 'locked' positions from the starting lineup: Yao, T-Mac, and Rafer. Obviously, the rest is what's going to determine whether or not we're going to be a contending team any time in the near future.

 

Tmac needs to take smarter shots.......I never get down on tmac but he needs to use his head a little more. I know he usually makes the amazing shots but he should know better sometimes.

 

if our guys could make their 3's, we'd be dangerous. that's what we are missing from last season.

 

Rafer Alston, the turnover machine. We traded our third best scorer, Mike James, for a downgrade at PG. Ha!
