ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Grizzlies 11/7/2006

Glad they manage to win on a bad shooting night.

 

65% actually. I need the rest to cover JVG and Juwan.

As much as Alston sucks, he cant be hogging all the discredit.

 

Positives,

Tracy hit some form in the last quarter
yao offensively solid
battier solid

Negatives

yao's rebounding
Turnovers
foul's that should have never been commited.

overall, were 2-2 now. it looks alot better then 1-3.

 

Though they stunk it up today and still won, I've noticed how the Rockets players around Tmac and Yao have a MUCH easier time of it with the more wide open looks. Just seemed to look harder for the Grizz to get theirs than it was for the Rockets to do the same.

 

Ugly win is a win nontheless.. lots to build on.. but it's bloody frustrating knowing how well we can play when we're gelling together.. but that happens without any consistency

 

3FG% Rockets 16.7%

Too low, we need Novak. JVG

And too many TO's

is that your period bleeding red? if not, please stop with the attention seeking

 

That's incredibly true

 

3-18
.167

this is our 3 points percent. LOL

 

Yao should of had more attempts. There was NO WAY anyone could stop him down there.

 

^^^ are you drunk?

 

I wouldnt worry about Yao's rebounding because the team outrebouded the grizz by a good margin. T-mac and hayes both were good on the boards. Means yao is boxing out his man if he isnt grabbing them himself. Whats the difference if the rockets continue to do well on the boards?

 

Struggled from threes, had like 24 turnovers ... and still got the win, and yes i know it was just the grizzlies( without gasol) but still this team just needs to keep playing together and getting more experience together and plus t-mac is still working out some kinks i guess but we are .500 and hopefully improving every game

 

Although this was a very ugly game played by the rockets, its good to see that Mcgrady is improving, although he isn't improving as fast we would like to see. He did well from the charity strike which was encouraging. Give him a week or two and he should have his shot back.... i hope. Now if he could only start penetrating to the basket.

 

It's about right. With the way refs are calling this game, Yao would have at least another offensive foul if they kept feeding him.

 

I'm sorry. But this time I think I urinated.... Apologies twice..

 

I'm happy I don;t have to listen to Calvin. I hated listening to that guy. Air-Bull is just a dork and its easy to tune The GLide out. But Calvin was downright annoying.

 

This is a huge positive, Tracy McGrady is getting back into form, he is passing a lot more and rebounding more, he is getting back into his groove, he is driving more,that 3 point play at the end was killer, he had 19 points thats an improvent and that 40% field goal percentage tonight was 7% of what he is currently averaging, he will get back into form in less than 3 games.

 

Hayes proved he deserves to be a starter.
