ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Mavericks 5/2/2005 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 5)

Yao is doing what he can but apparently the refs are not going to let him do his thing and are doing a good job of making sure of it

 

I've had hope the entire game.

And we're down by 7..but I feel like we can get closer...but we need to play defense. We need to guard them as tight as possible.

We need to score. Tmac needs to take over and explode and go crazy..like unstoppable. Yao cannot be stopped btw. MJ and Sura too. Wesley is doing good. We need ball movement..

Anyways..Tmac may be tired...he can't do it all..we can't expect him too.

But we all need energy and to be aggressive and dictate the game.

Unfortunately it's not happening..when series is tied 2-2..winnder of game 5..83% of those teams ahve gone on to win series. maybe we can be 17%..

I can't wati til next season though when we get quicker, more athletic guards..and also keep the guys we have now. They have been great!

 

WHich of the two does President Bush support?

 

oh boy do we look tired.

 

The Rockets are not hitting their shots: the Mavs are hitting almost everything. Unless TMac gets hot, this one is over. The role players for the Rockets have virtually disappeared. Ming is on the bench. Doesn't look good, guys. Hope springs eternal, but this will take a miracle.

 

Well said.

 

Nice job of three Rockets just looking at each other while Daniels drives the lane for a layup.

 

Rockets are on the verge of falling appart. What has happened?

 

KVH getting hurt probably hurt the Rockets more than the Mavs. Daniels is a much better player than KVH, especially against this Rockets club, but he had been in Avery's doghouse when Avery had other options.

Rockets still trying to keep it close, though. Within 8. If TMac or anyone can just get something going here...

 

'

Take a guess...

 

Hey Dwes,

you are NOT a penetrating guard.

 

Exactly. Let's do not forget he is guarding Dirk.

 

wesley again!!!!!

two blown fast breaks. one stupid tip out of bounds when he could've just caught it. and now losing his dribble out of bounds.

 

because they all realized that they can't fight the will of "GOD", named Stern

 

I didn't really follow the Rockets all season, so I'm not familiar with their assists per game numbers, but in this game 8 assists and 13 turnovers isn't going to get it done. Rockets need to get the ball moving around in the 4th if they want to overcome this 8 point deficit.

 

We dont even look the same we look worn out and tired.

 

Padget is useless.

Our PFs are useless!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

McGrady can't do anything without his teammates executing... simple as that.

 

What's up with T-Mac, he is no longer the T-Mac we saw at the biginning of the series

 

does anyone have knowledge? just curious
