ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Hornets 3/25/2007

yes it was. every game counts in the race for hca against the jazz.

 

I miss Deke's elbows. Chris Paul needed one tonight. How can the rockets let this little man get all those inside shots?

 

You guys crapping all over Yao, he's not back to full strength yet. Give the guy a break. He's missing a step or too. If you read the reports from his teammates you'd recognize that. My concern is if he'll be 100% by the playoff's or not.

 

bring back rudy T ! cuz gundy SUCKS monkey balls

 

What a poor game by the Rockets! Made me sick watching them blow another freakin' lead. This team is worthless! They can't even hold a lead late in the game or close the game out. Today was a perfect example in why the Rockets, in my opinon, will have another 1st round exit in this years playoffs!!!

 

Everyone saying Yao needs to be more verstatile on the the floor, there ya go. Inside and out game

 

I agree with most of you guys....Yao needs to develop a mean streak...Don't let fu#$in Tyson Chandler push you around... Give him an elbow or a bump. Don't just stand there and take it.

He was getting abused tonight and he never responded.

 

Don' do that. We should learn how to control our temoer after a loss

 

...Tell that to the Jazz, they sure aren't applying it.

Still, this tastes bitter, especially since Rockets CRUSHED them in the 1st qtr.

 

WHY DO WE KEEP LOSING TO THE FREAKING HORNETS!?!?! I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW MANY TOUCH FOULS THEY CALLED ON US, ESPECIALLY ON YAO, AND HE GOT ABSOLUTELY NO CALLS.

 

He was there prior to his injury. Pay attention. He's not back to what he was pre-injury and it's painfully obvious.

 

And I'll bet we'll lose tomorrow with the excuse of, "It was a back to back games and they were tired."

 

Deke doesn't guard Paul, lets start on the one that does...

No doubt if Mutombo were good to go he'da been on the court plenty tonight. Jake just pure sucked out there today, didnt offer anything.

 

Yao is a nice guy, but being nice is not enough to dominate in the paint, he must be more aggressive, use his body more instead of too many jumpers.
Just learn from Shark, whenever he can dunk he would dunk, always used his elbows to show his strength.
Yao should make his opponents scared.

 

he's talking about Utahs schedule, not New Orleans

 

lol after every loss people are calling for his head. If yao and tmac were healthy all year, the rox would at the very least be the 4th seed in the west. and with teh spurs/mavs/suns in teh conference, how much a better job can Rudy T do

 

Dont worry guys, I am killing Tyson Chandler and Chris Paul tommmorow so itll all make you happy.

 

We should've won today and tomorrows so that at least we can build a run but instead the Rocks like to F*ck up games to loser teams.

 

I don't know if you guys have starting worrying about this stat, which is Rockets now is 1-20 when trailing after the 3rd quarter. The only win Rockets got was in the overtime, which means Rockets never came back to win in the regulars when trailing after 3rd quarter.

No other teams even the Grizzlies have such terrible record. We've heard from the coaches and players many times that they wanted to change it but so far there hasn't been any significant improvement. Stats don't lie. Every stat tell something about a team (good or bad). Ignoring any single stat will become one the factors that eventually hurt the team's success.

Watching the Rockets sometime is very frastrating(maybe because I care about this team so much), even when they had over 15-pt leads, you still don't have confidence that they could lock up the win, but watching the Spurs is very relaxing even when they were trailing by 10, you know most likely they will come back and win.

Regardless the high hopes people all over the world have put on the Rockets this season, I still don't see they can win the first round of the playoff if they don't have the home court advantage at least.

 

We played terrible D the entire game, but worse in the 2nd half. They shot nearly 47% in the first half and almost 50% for the game. That is unacceptable.
