ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Mavericks 2/9/2007

I need to vent.

The freaking Kia commericials aren't helping either.

 

Snyder is clearly rusty, but he has more hops than anyone on the team outside of Tmac....

I really would like to see him get some more time......I like his aggressiveness...I know Bonzi has a post game, but we have enough post players, what we don't have is enough wing players who are willing to go STRONG to the hole.

That is something Snyder could help us with a lot.....and he is big and quick at the 2 guard spot, something we lack.

I'm surprised Shane was that bad..

 

Like I said...

Bad loss. One loss. Who cares tomorrow.

We have a killer record with Yao not around. Can't be great every night. Bounce back time.

Keep our heads up, guys and gals. We got a pretty damn good team and we aren't even fully healthy yet.

 

Are there any useless stats to mention tonight?

 

Jose Juan Barea scored on us

 

mann, i want baseball season to start already..

 

Hey!

The next Dallas game is on TV!

Hmm...Rockets on ESPN...world must be getting pretty close to exploding, huh?

 

Shane is Bruce Bowen. He's not to do anythig except for shoot open jumpers. You can't blame anybody. We were just overmatched.

2 of our top 3 players wre not playing.

It will be a good experience. THey have to go through these tough playoff like atmospheres in order to prepare for the playoffs.

 

I don't particularly hate a lose. But I hate a lose with zero offense except Tmac goes one on one or one on 2,3...and Tmac being the PG. That is why when people shouting lets sign JVG a new contract, I said "talk about that until the playoffs". Damn AJ is good.

 

true..

 

and the suns in a close game

 

Owe them one in our building....got to come home and punish them for this game.

Also can not get into a running game with them, our transition defense was really bad, but if you can't hit layups and shots, you aren't going to win very often.

The Rockets did not shoot well tonight.....and it showed. But, a loss was expected, got to stop it from leaving a hangover and making it be another loss tomorrow.

JVG didn't blow point blank layups tonight...

 

You are damn right dude... Totally agree... C'mon, think about we are still missing Yao and Wells.

Just go Rox, make it to the Play off, when Yao's back, Mavs, who?!

 

Game over. Now lets get the next 3 home games before the AllStar break.

34-18 who would've thought that could happened. I for one will be glad if that happens.

 

A big game choke is not a good sign. The rest of the team iced TMac, " it's you against the world, good luck." Surely this is the worst shooting performance of the year for the Rockets. Who is going to make the "clutch" shot in the playoffs besides TMac? Apparently, nobody. The Mavs are celebrating, but they stunk. All the upper echelon teams blow them away tonight. One of their worst games and they get a 21 point victory, because the Rockets hold a brickfest. Very disappointing.

 

Bruce Bowen WISHES he could be Battier. Battier is so much better, guys. Be fair.

He had a bad game. He has been there all season.

Why does one bad loss equate to an attack by Osama Bin Laden? I hate it just as much as the rest of you but lets get real. We are not healthy. They are. They were in the Finals last year and we were not.

I wanna see Snyder more. I want to see the team together. In a seven game series, I REALLY think we can beat ANYONE if healthy.

Chin up, kids!

 

I thought we could do a better job. Bonzi and Snyder have to get going quickly in the backcourt. Battier also can't just get 5-6 points in big games despite the defensive assignments he gets. The real test will come when Yao comes back. We don't have any real tradable assets. The best that we can do is use the TE or Sura and possibly the first round pick to get a decent player in return who isn't old to fit into the team for the rest of the season and the playoffs provided we make them.

 

AJ has a far superior lineup right now and about $20MM more payroll to work with.

Let's not forget that the Mavs now are tied for the 8th best record EVER in the first 50 games
