ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Mavericks 11/5/2007

We should let Yao play at low post more. Their centers simply suck

 

he ain't shaq. he would get called for fouls or turn it over. that's why adelman wants him in the high post when teams double him like this.

 

I doubt terry will go like 12-18 every game. chill

 

exactly

 

Outscored by almost 30 by the bench.

There's the loss.

 

That last play with Rafer was his biography right there.

3 pointer!!!!!!??

Eh NO!

Layup?!!!?!

In yo face!

That should be his 10 second scouting tape.

 

Some really bad fouls down the stretch cost us the game. Overall they didn't play to bad though.. If tmac hit just a few more of his jumpers (he missed some easy ones) it could've been ours.

Oh well 3-1. *Gets ready for all the cry baby threads

 

This game was close to the end. Too bad the final score won't indicate that. Execution execution execution. that was the difference.

 

We had poor pick n roll d and kept trying to isolate for T-Mac just like last year.

I think T-Mac was trying to hard to do it all himself. All of our bench players seemed to be non-factors. T-Mac seemed like he was the only aggressive player on our team. Yao just couldnt get in the game because ... of that zone and the inability of our perimeter players to make dallas pay for doubling on yao before he even got the ball.

but ... dallas > Houston in tonight's game obviously. Terry and Josh Howard kept killing us. Dirk was alright but man Terry ... sigh.

Good effort though. But it just seemed to me that Adelman was just subbing players in and out and not doing much coaching? I don't know. Just appeared that way to me.

 

why all the hate for tmac tonight? is it the bitter taste of our first loss?

the guy was the reason this was a close game.

everyone wants a leader, well he finally decided to step up and be aggressive. i'm all for this type of tmac. much better than the tmac of last year IMO.

 

The bench and power forward position let them down tonight. Bonzi, James and the Hayes/Scola tandem just weren't very productive. The Mavs got a huge game from Jason Terry. There's your ballgame.

 

T-MAC has to go for higher percentage shots. 11-29 fg is just bad. Those are Iversonesque numbers where he gets 30 points cause he shoots over 30 times. T-Mac shooting jumpers is ok, as long as they are not that contested and he keeps attacking the rim for the dunk or layup. I`d rather he shoot less and hit 50%, that way he helps us more and still gets his 30 points.

Bad game by almost every Rocket except Yao, who didn´t shoot as often as he should have.

 

Ous 3s only hit 26% their is 45% that's the difference

 

Because the key players are softty!

 

This is what people have always thought about TMAC, but it is not the case.

When one player monopolizes the ball as much as he has, the team does not play well and the offense stagnates.

I guess I am just getting tired of it. He has shot poorly and too much. When you're cold, it's time to try a new approach. Maybe the big guy in the middle. Maybe someone else.

Doesn't this seem familiar to anyone...

 

He gave Terry 800000 uncontested mid range jumpshots

 

well when terry comes off the bench, but plays starter minutes, and is their #1 option, thier bench looks awesome.

 

So they better reflect wtf is going on and show improvement in tomorrow's game because SA is even better than mavs

 

the man wasn't even IN THE GAME when we collapsed. I think a guy by the name of MIKE JAMES committed a pivotal turnover on a lazy pass to T-mac which ****ed us over

 

JVG and RA are two sides of the coin on big YAO.
One overuses, the other even dont konw how to use.
