ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Lakers 11/9/2008

T-Mac looks and is playing like an old man. If he's injured, he should sit. Presently, he's more of a detriment to the team on offense and liability on defense. Rafer as usual is garbage. I wonder why he's always open. Yao is in a funk. He can't even hit his freethrows. Luther Head is lost out there. Artest not playing well. Rockets in general lack aggression, especially when compared to the Lakers, which is why LA is getting more calls. In this situation, I'd like to see Joey Dorsey get in there and bang some bodies around a little. Also, if you're wide open underneath the basket, dunk the f'ing ball. This team needs Mutombo back. All those people saying Deke was over the hill can now eat their words - again. We all realize how bad the Rockets miss his presence. Also, look at the distrubition of mins among players between the Lakers and Rockets. Lakers evenly distrubted while the Rockets are playing their stars like 40 mpg on average. Granted the Rockets are not 100% healthy, but all these things are disturbing trends.

 

Guys... calm down. When a team is on their home court and they are feeling it there is nothing you can do. Lakers could be all shooting with a hand tied behind their backs and they would still make everything. The one problem the Rockets have is that they usually cant play like this in their home court.

 

i think we should use artest or t-mac off the bench when battier comes back.

either artest or t-mac should be on the bench.

 

Dorsey can't even get rebound!

 

Yeah, I've seen some pretty stupid couches before but he's the stupidest.

 

You said the same thing last year before we won 22 in a row

 

wow. we are gonna lose by 40 F***ing points by the end of this game. jeez, then how are we going to win against the suns, hornets, jazz, etc. we gotta play better than this or else i smell a stinking losing streak

 

im kind of thinking the same thing im a big fan and all but seriously rafer is horrible we need him gone or start aaron or something, i was really hoping for steve but i pretty much forgot about him until now, maybe he has something?anything? tmac just needs to sit out for a couple months and yao idk hes not the same, this team just looks like they dont know whats going on

 

An Eagle loss and a Rockets blowout. I'm headed to bed.

 

Lol @ Rafer being played in a 27 point blowout...is he being punished?

 

43 point turn-around, that must be a record

 

*While watching the game*

 

send the starters in. we dont want to risk brooks getting injured now.

 

Couldn't agree more. Spoiled brats want 20 point blowout wins everygame on the way to an 82-0 season. I still believe with our current group of guys we can win it all.

Yea, we arent playing well, it sucks. But get over it. We are still missing a key player. We are still working out the offense.

All your crying for trades isnt going to change anything.

 

T mac player of game for the lakers

 

Interesting game. Lack of length hurt. The Machine & Ariza pairing did damage but the Rockets should have their own answer to that soon. Is Rafer untradeable now?

 

Rafer can't even be thrown into the horrible mix today. It was simply on our big three.

 

LOlolollololololol

 

No, you aren't fans because you guys call for someone to be traded after every bad game. And when they do actually go on a winning streak, no one says anything.
If that's not bandwagoning, then I don't know what is.

 

Hahaha, good one, that made my day
