ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Grizzlies 12/28/2007

New topic.....

Who thinks Francis will play more than 10 minutes in any game going forward?

 

Haha, sorry you had to witness that stuff. There are some sick people in this world.

 

Blazers have won 12 in a row now!!

No matter how you twist it, that is a shocker.

 

I sat through 7 spins, lawl

 

Tmac has played in that way for ten years. He is incompitable to RA's system, because he will shot more than 25 times a game whever he is health. Kobe is much better than him in this way.RA or Tmac can not coexist, one of them has to leave, nothing to do with Yao.

 

You lost all credibility when you said that T-Mac is much more selfish than Kobe.

No NBA player can be more selfish than Kobe. Arenas is in 2nd.

Selfishness is not Tracy's biggest problem. He can get past that and has done so often in recent years.

A lack of talent is obviously not a problem with him, either.

Health, heart and determination, as always, are the real issues with Tracy.

 

Im Scarred dude. I was caught completely off gaurd.

 

I don't know if it was any use, but I reported this guy. I hate to be a rat but this just isn't right.

Funny as it may be, there are kids that likely visit this forum.

We are also here to talk basketball, not about this crap.

 

Im really stoked about Scola. Brooks is the real deal...I hope Tmac can pull it together...I still have hope for this season.

 

people calling t-mac selfish now ? oh how quickly they forget......

do the rockets have the dumbest, most fickle fans in the league ?

 

I dont think Tmac is selfish on the court...but he does think his s*** don't stink and he has no heart.

 

I guess you haven't seen the video.

 

I have, and it was the most disgusting thing I have witnessed.

 

Agreed.

Brooks and Scola are the topic of the night.

I think there is a strong argument for the following starting lineup:

Aaron Brooks - yes, he is young but damn, he is good
Tracy McGrady
Shane Battier - some may think Bonzi but I like Bonzi as the 6th man
Luis Scola
Yao Ming

Unfortunately, Adelman may not feel that Brooks is ready. I am on the fence about it. You don't want to rush Brooks but, at the same time, he doesn't seem like the type that would be rattled by making the jump. Obviously, he wouldn't be the first rook PG to start so early in his career.

The rest of the rotation is a bigger debate at this point. I like any of the following players coming off the bench:

Bonzi - minutes go up when he plays well or we have a favorable matchup

Hayes/Landry - 10-15 mpg for his hustle and defense or depending on the matchup

Alston - backing up Brooks, unlikely to happen

James/Head - 10-20 mpg when matchups are favorable

Snyder - many will disagree but I think his speed and explosiveness could work in this system, unlikely to happen

Novak - I used to think this was a bad idea but Stojakovic thrived under Adelman and was never a good defender or anything else, Novak is a great shooter and smart player, it would be interesting to see him get 5-10 mpg because of his height and shooting skills, unlikely to happen

Deke - rare minutes as needed


That leaves Francis and Landry. Francis has been a disappointment. I think Landry will eventually be an upgrade over Hayes but this year should be the D-League for him.

 

I didn't want to but I think it was the right thing to do.

This is a Rockets forum and I am sure there are some kids that visit this site.

Sorry for the repost. I made a change.

 

so we beat a team with 8 wins and all of a sudden tmac is expendible and all our problems are gone? lol. Tmac was really injured ..i can't believe the hate that he's getting..it's not like he was the only one playing horribly ..yao wasn't playing well in many games also.
