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

his "guarding" of harpring was inexcusable

 

If he isn't hitting 3s. he isn't even in the NBA.

What a shame the Bonzi thing didn't work out.

if one can say that the jazz's "physical" play on Yao is the problem, i have to disagree. yao has played against bigger badder players. listening to worrell talk about how the players are checking yao at the hip throwing his shot off, on TV, hasn't looked how any other person has guarded him during the year.

Yao is off, and needs to get back to his high percentage shooting

 

You know what !! I Love T-Mac he is my favorite player but I was watching him and when he turned the ball over around the 3 minute mark and the Jazz went on a fast break he just got up like it was no big deal. I was telling myself " hell your gonna lose so just throw the ball in the crowd or yell and get a tech....I mean charge your team up. He was also at the free throw line and he was just smiling away in the 4th when they were down by like 11 I was like **** that wheres the intensity. T-Mac usualy is pumped but tonight it was almost like he was hurt or had something on his mind. At least Yao bithched everytime they called a foul on him. I will say that this team is one of the most non-thuggish teams we have had in a while so is that a good thing ? Remember T-Mac has won alot of games for this team.....Hopefully he will bounce back....

 

They're guarding Tmac all the way past the three point line. He should just go right by them every time and draw a foul from Okur. It's not like they have a great shot blocker out there. Go to the rim, draw a foul, hoist up a lay up and hope for the and1. Mcgrady just refuses to go inside and it's sad. He could easily get 15-20 FTs, but he is just keeps pulling up. What the hell is going on?

 

Golden State or Dallas would be running our asses out of the building.

 

So we lost this game - big deal! Our bench can't possibly play worse, Yao can't possibly have more turnovers and we will only improve!

I still believe - one game does not make a series... I am actually happy that this loss happens right now, there is still plenty of time to adjust and improve.

Does anyone seriously think that we can sweep the Jazz?

Stop the excessive blaming - if you must, be emotional but be reasonable.

I agree lack of focuse...I mean Harpring should not get that free unless your HEAD is up your ASS......How can Luther be so dominate in the regular season yet choke in the playoffs.....I mean he played the first two games at home and he still sucked...

 

Tmac and Yao would not have looked as bad if the roll players would have stepped up a little.

 

i do have to say that ak47 did a fantastic job on the defensive side on the 2nd half on tmac. tmac got NOTHING easy. man i wish fisher would guard tmac consistently, but ak47 will be the lock down man for the rest of the series

 

Good point....I always said this forum was for being emotional.....hell if it wasn't for this board i would probably be in jail or dead....

 

AK47 doesn't even deserve that name anymore he sucks big....just call him BB Gun from now on...

 

I really think we will. We ALWAYS get revenge after a double digit loss.

 

Are you being serious? If T-Mac had put the ball on the floor more often in the 3rd quarter, that sorry b**** would have fouled out. He had 4 fouls anyway. Utah played very good physical defense on T-Mac, but none of it was by Kirilenko. Well, at least he won't be crying after this game (one hopes.).

 

Rafer plays too long. There's no iron man in the world,don't blame him.

I really HATE JVG's 8 man rotation.

Why Yao's hands didn't rose high when holding the ball?

Why Luther "big heart" Head so crappy? Why his college teammate D.Williams much supperior to him?

Juwan can't shoot,why play him 14mins?

JVG is as stubborn as a mule.

 

Is Okufur Fat or is it just me ? For some reason I am starting to really dislike his fat ass.....he gets on my freakin nerves with his stupid flops....

 

Howard should just retire. He absolutely was horrible.

 

I really don't know what's going on with our horrendous shooting, especially Luther and Juwan, but they need to snap out of it! PLEASE!!!!

 

I really think that they need to put in a rule for flopping...Seriously...If this was to happen Jerry Sloan would finally have to retire....
