ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Jazz 5/2/2008 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 6)

Seriously, all the little weasley bandwagoners on this site makes the Rockets lose, I swear.

 

i told you people.. they were not going to take this to 7 games.. but you never want to be objective...

 

I gotta turn on 610...this may be Gene's last qtr.

 

this game ended about 4 minutes ago.......

when they decided to get away from mcgrady

 

Just imagine if our players could actually hit those open shots, we would be right in it, not 20 points behind. All the Jazz is doing is doubling Tmac when he gets the ball, and watch the open man brick the 3pter.

 

it doesn't matter. he was going to get criticized anyways. he has been through this before. i don't think he cares.

what we found out is we still have a superstar player. just try to get him and yao healthy next yr, add some shooters, and we'll be good to go.

i'm proud of the team. we can't be down on the team right now. utah's depth just took over.

like i said, losing rafer was huge. it forced bobby to start the 2nd half and he can't guard deron. then brooks had to play and he can't do anything.

we have to improve a lot, but this series proves tmac is still that guy we can build around.

28, 10, 5 is not bad. he could have dominated more this quarter, but we all know his teammates had to step up b/c utah was not gonna let him drive like he did. his teammates didn't.

 

11 points in the quarter. McGrady with none. That is pathetic. Do you think this would happen to a team with Jordan on it? I dont think so..

 

Without Rafer we fell apart

 

Gonna watch this one till the end..still never been more proud of this team....

 

Guys, we are an undermanned team. We are without the best center in basketball and we just lost our starting PG. You are basically asking dudes damn near 40 and some rookies to make it happen.

Just appreciate the heart that the team is displaying, including the guy wearing #1. Pray for health so we can contend next season.

 

Rafer going down became the nail on our coffin.

Nothing but divine interference would help us win this game now.

 

Thank you... Some people have no ideal of how to play the game....

 

Lol, well what do you expect from disgruntled fans who have never seen a second round since the barkley clyde hakeem and pippen season. lol

A cursed first round team and a cursed first round player dont mix right

 

tmac give me 12 minutes of all out penetration on these jazzholes

 

1st half single covered

2nd half double teamed.

 

I agree but maybe we need to run some other plays if he is guarded well on the post. Maybe screens of the ball??

Aaron and Bobby are pathetic. Marey said Bobby would help us in PO, and now we see results

 

even sloan was confused on why tmac didn't get the ball more.

was it adelman's strategy?

now he's trying to use novak. wow, we're running out of shooters now

 

So, let me get this straight: A Rockets team, without its best player and its starting point guard (for 2 1/2 games), along with several other players sporting injuries that may require offseason surgery, takes on a fully healthy Jazz team and pushes them to 6 games in a 7-game series? Oh man, the Lakers are so gonna sweep the Jazz.

 

The problem with the Rockets is they play people like Hayes and Mutumbo. Absolutely useless players on the offensive end. TMac gets doubled and no one can make them pay. Jackson can't put it in the ocean. Horrible.

 

yeah it did...

Go back and look at his early years before he got help...
