ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Jazz 4/26/2007 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 3)

It is looking like a Tmac-50 night.

 

C'mon Dikembe... I don't usually do this because it's so harsh... but I AM ORDERING YOU TO ELBOW OKUR!

T-Mac's efficiency so far is astounding!

 

Really disappointed in Yao today!

 

that's been the beauty of having both in this series so far. we can just let one carry the offense while the other one is off so we never get too stymied on offense.

 

I think I read from somewhere that Yao said he cannot bully down Okur because he is so scared of all the flops call which will not only get him in foul trouble but also cause TOs. Man, Please just play up straight.

 

It has nothing to do with the refs. He's just playing horribly.

 

T-Maaaaaaaaaac!

It's basically 1-on-5 on the offensive end for us so far. The only problem is that McGrady can't sustain this type of energy all night and he will definitely start laboring in the second half if this keeps up. This is precisely why I always prefer seeing Yao dominating in the first 2-3 quarters, with McGrady pacing himself, and then have T-Mac close the deal with his 4th quarter magic.

Hopefully Yao can carry the offensive load in the second half...

 

I love how the Jazz players defy the laws of physics. Yao backs into Okur and Okur just goes flying like he got shot.

 

Yao better start contributing once T-Mac needs to rest.

 

And that's TRacy McGrady in the PlayOffs. Great to see him in that rythm. Now we have to play great defense

 

can we send an electric jolt through tmac every time he takes a pullup jumper one foot inside the 3 point line?

 

What is wrong with Yao, learn something from Tmac, stay calm and confident, do not need to panic.

 

I hope Oscar Robertson is watching this, I knew T-mac was going to go off soon, he is on fire, he'll score 40+ tonight. Now if Yao get get something going....

 

It's McGrady and the 4 non-factors so far.

 

I don't need to watch TV to know that it's a flop from Okur.

In his interview with Wang Meng, Yao Ming also mentioned good Oscar winning potential of Okur....He said whenever he applied forces to Okur, he will fell like being shot down by machine guns.....

 

Come on people, have faith. Mac recovered from a 0-6 start. Yao can recover from a 0-3 start.

Not the end of the world.

I'm concerned about our defense though, with Yao out, the Jazz are shooting pretty well.

 

OUR OFFENSE IS HORRIBLE.

 

Jazz up by three...

We're in serious trouble if no one helps Mac out on offense. He's the only one making shots so far. Very low energy game offensively for us. I guess the team is still officially in a funk.

 

What has happened to Luther since the playoffs started ... man we need him to come up big in these games

 

Looks like T-Mac to the Big O's comments to heart! I've seen him pull a couple of Oscar Robertson like moves tonight.
