ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Grizzlies 11/25/2005

You fool. This game was close all night long.

 

What exactly is there to "ROLLEYES" about?

It is a fact, Yao sucked this game and did not bother fighting for position against a fronting defender. Just blame Yao, it's justified.

 

I didn't watch the game live, but I followed on stats. Didn't he just missed one layup in the final 8 mins? and got several offensive rebounds? Oh well. a loss is a loss. everyone to blame. thing is they will be learning from the mistakes.

 

By my recollection..in the waning minutes...Yao missed a single layup. He was making those short hooks and other midrange shots. In fact he seemed a lot more confident when he came in in the 4th. No one's to blame for this loss, but again, everyone is to blame. No one stepped up when it mattered most. How many more losses like this will we have to endure. T-Mac, please come back now before I lose my sanity.

So what's the equivalent of being 15-30 (in a baseball season) for a basketball team. I imagine were nearing that rock bottom mark.

 

are you kidding me? garbage time? you call down by two and 3 mins left. garbage time? you are out of your mind!

 

You're the Dang'ol fool for not comprehending what I am saying.

The game was close all night long, NOT because of YAO. Yao played very passively the whole game and did not even try to fight off Wright who is like 6'8. Why are you defending Yao?

 

i was not able to watch this game. is everybody playing with some chemistry now?? if you look at the boxscore the team has a good balanced scoring now...

 

he only miss one damn shot! and it was very nice move but no luck! which game did you watch!

 

my goodness, we have identical posts! scary.

 

Stop calling people names.

 

Okay ya got me.

 

Your act is gettin' old...

 

Yes but why wasn't Yao fighting for position throughout the WHOLE GAME? Why wait till the waning minutes like every single dang'ol game?

 

You do realize that they went to Yao down the stretch and he made every shot except the running layup that for some reason people think was the play of the game. so don't even think of saying that Yao played a poor 4th quarter. The rest of the game, yes, but the fourth, no.

Actually our ineffective defense of Battier with Howard was probably more at fault. Not really sure why Howard was guarding Battier when we knew he would outquick him every time.

JVG should have adjusted and took out Howard, put DA on him, and put in Jon Barry.

 

Garbage time? Are you watching the game?

 

you're so clever

 

the way you can beat fronting is also dependent on passing!. it was very clear YAO was not OFFensive focus until last Q
come on, make bit sense for yourself!

 

OK, this is the end of the road. Coming up, we have Chicago, Atlanta, Memphis, and Boston at home, and road games against Portland and Seattle. There is no reason in the world why we can't have a 4-game winning streak, even without McGreatness. No more excuses, let's just all go out and have a drink, party, sleep, read a good book, ****, hang out with friends, etc. and forget about all this. We're 3 and 10, we're the worst in the West, blah, blah, blah. Tomorrow- the slate is clean. We've played mostly good teams in this losing streak, many on the road. Now, there's no excuses. Chicago played SA tonight, if we don't win tomorrow, we can be genuinely concerned. But let's not worry about it tonight.

"We are the champions..."
"Winning it all..."

reverse psychology

 

Save Head, the team just does not have any clutch perimeter shooters. Bad, too bad. Last time I checked he is still a rookie.
