ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Hornets 2/22/2008

basically we need to play what defense gives us: if they double team yao or tmac, they should move the ball and find a open shooter, if not, well, we have tonight's game.

 

Best game thus far. A lot of teams will start noticing the Rockets now (11 game winning streak and blowing out the best team in the west). I would like to see the winning streak get extended to 16.

 

Yes but how long has it been since Bobby was on the kings?? Is he still playing as well, honestly I have not been keeping track of him. How much has he lost??

 

The calls were horrendous. It felt they just wanted to call everything on Scola and Landry. F##k the refs

 

a picture is worth a thousand words.

Good game rockets and apologies to everyone on the board. I went off to take a shower and my 15 year old cousin decided to be an ass. Sorry.

 

LIES.

BJac and Rafer are shooting almost identical numbers this year from the arc and 2pters

 

The scary thing is Adelman's never had two weapons like Yao or T-Mac at any of his previous teams.

 

Im totally not buying the whole "IT WAS MY YOUNGER Friend/Relative/Animal" shtick.

 

I thought Rafer played great , going up against CP3. Almost the same #s.

 

For all the people wondering where Bobby Jackson was. I remember someone in the broadcast saying he was still in Houston completely his physical. If anything that was smart because since the trade was not official and complete yet, bonzi and m. james could not play today. Not trying to say we still wouldn't win, but why take that chance.

 

What about that whole "How many swings can you sit through" a while back?

 

Wheres that bandwagon pesamist brooksballa at?

 

I'm on cloud nine! Everyone played like a team, they were even pleading to the refs for each other. All five players on the court were in unison with the mission at hand. Huge win.

BOX SCORES

Bonzi Wells and Mike James must be p@$$ed about their new team being torn apart by the Rockets !!

 

What's the Hornet player doing with 4 Rox dancers? Great entertainment!

 

Nice try

 

Tracy McGrady and the Rockets in action.

Look at the last photo......

It was this type of Van Gundy-like no-nonsense defense that suffocates elite teams like New Orleans Hornets.

 

"Yao scored on seemingly effortless jump hooks and short turnaround jumpers. Other times, he rotated into the paint to steal rebounds from Hornets forwards and casually lay the ball back in like an adolescent might toy with younger, shorter brothers in a driveway"

Nice description from Yahoo of Yao's game...

 

Let everyone know that the rockets are coming!
In the last interview, Rafer compared himself to kenny smith, only quicker. I thought he was crazy; but now I'm starting to believe him
rafer was great tonight, loved the trash talking
Rafer> jason kidd (my love/hate relationship continues)
