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

Final score

Rockets 86
Grizzlies 80

 

That's also my % chance of going out with Scarlett Johansson.

So basically you are saying...the rockets have a chance of sinking in a 3 pointer?

 

ugly win, but a win nonetheless

 

I can't understand how we could blow Mavs by 30 points last time. I guess Mavs has much bigger problem than I thought.

 

Considering this is Rudy Gay's 3 or 4th game as a pro, I would hope so for Rocket's sake.

 

LOL, that makes me laugh

 

This is the ugliest game I'v ever watched, though we won.

 

Dont worry, dont let some of these board nazis get to you...

 

Ugly win today..we were bad offensively but decent defensively, lucky that the Grizz do not have Pau Gasol their central offense .. they had to rely mostly on miller, gay, cardinal (!!), and even swift for their offense.

However, it was really refreshing and nice to see McGrady go for the drive + and1 in the last few minutes which sealed the win. I think next game we can expect a big dunk or two from the MAC DADDY =D

Also there was one play that pissed me off, none of the players were willing to shoot and kept passing the ball around until the shot clock forced one of them to toss up a bad shot. I think they can still be more assertive in shooting.

 

You know, even with this win, I still ain't all too confident about this team. I guess once Bonzi comes back and Tracy gets his sh*t together, we'll exhibit a lot more consistency.

 

YEAH, It's a ugly win. Both teams suck. Rox would win the game much easier If tmac pass even one more ball to Yao, but I never saw that happen.

 

You keep bashing Tmac after a win. Nice.

 

Yao had soo much trouble getting into positition early on

I hope he fixes that by the next game which is tomorrow

 

Big positive is free throws, 27-30 for 90%. The Rockets occasionally lose games because of free throws and would have done so tonight if they only shot around 60% like they sometimes do.

3 pt shooting was awful, only Battier got a good percentage with 2-5 for 40%.

Too many turnovers, 6 each by Yao and T-Mac, 5 by Alston.

 

Battier made his first turnover of the season. So far, it's 4 games, 148 minutes, and 1 TO for Shane.

 

Stop Talking out of you're behind.

 

Didn't catch any of the game, can someone break down Tmac's game 2night? Was he moving well, did he take a lot of bad shots??

 

A win is a win even if it's a lousy one. Yao got to do better on rebounding and controlling fouls. Rafer has improved his shooting, but he shouldn't get carried away by that dallas game. He's still very inconsitent. Shane is a solid and dependable player. Someone you can trust every game since he will manage to contribute one way or another. Tracy's shotis are coming back even though more fine tuning is still needed. Major props to Chuck, but a bigger body, a banger would help the team to reach championship level. The bottom line is you won't see what the team is made of until 20 or so games have been played.

 

nice to see we beefed up on our perimeter shooting over the offseason
3PFG
3-18
16.7%

90% FT , i must say i am impressed, both team looked crap, though ill take a win any day. if you got nothing good to say dont say it at all, so i guess i can only talk about yaos scoring, battier overall oh and chucky hayes!. Gay.. wouldnt have minded him on our team. Not sad to see Stro go.

reason we won? 45-33 in favour of rockets. thats about all i have to say.....

when chuck hayes outplays our most well payed player and apparent superstar, its not good news, but we won, so ill take it.

 

ugly game but the W is all that counts... tmac looked a little more aggressive attacking the basket and not relying on his jump shot too much. give him about 3 or 4 more games and he'll be back
