ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Hornets 3/19/2008

ok here we the rockets is going to be 7th in the west for the playoffs

 

Good to know that no one else and no other teams
Have back to backs


Rocket River

 

Offense is becoming worse and worse because opponents now found out how to defend Rockets without Yao. Defend 3 point line and put a shot blocker in the middle, make is a half court game. That's the same thing Rockets would face in playoffs.

 

Way to go Mcgrady MVP!!!

 

none taken. i've been watching and cheering the Rockets since the early 80's.....through the good years and bad. i assure you, no bandwagon fan here.

 

LOL, move your feet Novak! You can't defend like that, lol

 

Guys stop blaming McGrady. It is the WHOLE TEAM. Nobody can run, we have so tired legs.

 

Why the hell is Head checking in with 2 minutes left in the 4th? Is he in Rick's doghouse?

 

i love all the people who were just anxiously waiting around for the streak to end so they could point this out. hell, they were pointing it out every time the other team went on a 4-0 run during the streak. hilarious. we're only 10-2 w/o him.

 

Tracy has been playing the whole game the past 3 or 4 games.He's fatigue,mentally and physically. I feel tracy right now

 

Please no excuses, part of the 22 win streak stretch was easy schedules.

The Rocket's you are seeing now is the real Rockets without Ming.

Just accept it and move on.

 

go back home.

 

He hasnt played like a superstar for this whole season... 22ppg and 5.7 apg.... is what a good player does.... not a superstar.... Yes I know he draws double teams.... so does every other damn good scorer in the league

 

It's deflating how stagnant our offense has been coming out in second halves during this tough three-game stretch.

I don't know why or how it's happened. We've got to be tired. This was going to be a tough win, but being tied entering the fourth quarter should give you enough adrenaline for the rest of the game.

I'm deflated.

 

We were up 14 points in this game, Teams haven't figured anything out.We are just tired right now.

 

This is un-inspiring basketball!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I'm confused about the substitutions. What's the deal with Head not even making rotations now? Much less Brooks/Novak. They are all meh on the defensive end, but running different combos for spurts throughout the game is what gave us the most benefit. He's keeping the same group in and just running them to the ground it seems like.

I just am curious what the deal is. Is he REALLY focused on the defensive end right now?

 

how about the other 100+ starters in the nba??? Do they exert less energy than Mcgrady.... Is mcgrady the ultimate hustler where he exerts all his enerfy every game??

 

You know its a sorry game if Mutombo is the player of the game!!! Classic Rockets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

lol, bonzi for 3. 25 points. most night for us he couldn't hit the floor if he fell down twice, but against us he goes for 25 with about 5 long jumpers.
