ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Mavericks 1/16/2007

This quarter is not going our way!

 

Tis slowly getting away from us. Gotta make some shots and take it to the basket Tracy :/. You are our only hope..

 

T-MAC great play will be wasted!

 

Dude had to rest. He only had about 3 minutes out in the first half.

 

Hang in there tough for 40 minutes but it looks like we could get blown now

 

And.....more wide open jumpers, and Head watches his man go to the Basket.

Man, I wish Hayes could shoot....we are one Josh Howard/Robert Horry player short of being a GREAT team.

Oh well we at least we gave them a run for their money !! T-Mac did all he could do but remember that the turning point was where Rafer missed two ****in FTS............

 

We have ZERO margin for error... we basically have to play a perfect game to beat the Mavs. (which is what we were doing for 3.5 quarters).

 

Defense! Defense! Defense!!

 

Way to many offensive rebounds given up.

The Mavs just simply have too much too guard, we don't have the firepower to play with them for 48 mins without Yao. If we had Yao we would have 10+ lead right now.

 

Bench him for whom? There is no one else on the team who can even compete with him at the position...that's the biggest problem right now.

No help for McGrady whatsoever, not even Battier on the offensive end, but I give a pass to Battier because of his D on the other end...Rager and Head not so much.

Dallas has many players that can create for themselves, the Rockets have only McGrady who can do that, not to mention that everyone else on the team needs McGrady to create a shot for them.

As I said earlier, McGrady's conditioning won't allow him to keep it up all night long, his endurance level won't allow it. He's running on fumes now.

Valient effort, but game is over.

 

It's the Dork show now he'll shoot free throws for the rest of the game.

 

dejavu

 

Dirk attacks the rim....see how many free throws he gets?

This game is over.....we are in the penalty with 7 minutes left.

A good effort, maybe we can win tomorrow night.

It's just a tough matchup for us without Yao. Yao is the one matchup they have no answer for, kind of like us and Nowitzki.

McGrady is running out of gas too.

 

game over.

 

Rafers twp missed free throws was the defining of the game. he hits both of them, its a 1 point game. he missed bith, the mavs got momentum and bang.

 

TMAC !!!

STOP SETTLING FOR JUMPERS !!!!!


TO THE RACK !!!

Gawd how I hate seeing the Mavs celebrate!

How does Dirk get that wide open!?

 

dammit tracy.... take it to the hole! stop settling for the jumpshot.
