ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Nuggets 12/20/2007

You missed something, bro.

He said that dunking was a basic requirement for playing in the NBA.

Reading Comprehension 101 - I recommend that course for you.

 

I think these guys know something is definately in the air. My guess is poor Mac will be gone at season end. We should have gotten Kobe if this was going to happen at the beginning of the year, damn

 

I think T-Mac can be a great setup guy. RA just has to sit him down and tell him what he wants to see.

 

magic said he would keep yao.

everything he said i totally agree with.

i'm down.

we're in this game. just think if we traded tmac from a couple other BETTER other guys than what we have now.

like a deng, a redd, and a guy or other two from their respective team.

 

I agree with you.

Something is going on. Tracy is on the block.

 

That isn't what he said. He said those guys weren't great in those categories.

Kidd and nash are great at assists, not TMac.

Boozer and Howard are great at rebounds, not Yao

There nothing great about 5 assists a game or 10 rebounds.

 

Wheres Francis?

 

But he was asked if he had to choose, Who would it be. And he did say that he would have to keep Yao.

 

Well, Yao can't rebound important rebound, that's for sure. Game 7 against the Jazz, Yao couldn't rebound the important rebound. But he did rebound one this year against the Bobcat, the one T-mac missed, Yao rebounded and won the game.

 

Still can't shoot, but I like the ball movement. Magic's comment was unexpected, but it makes sense. It is not working out, they both look better when the other is not playing. TMac has been dominating the ball way too much this season, and shooting poorly after a hot start. IF the Rockets can get value for TMac, it looks like the logical move at this point.

 

Yeah, that was a dumb segment.

Tracy is widely considered one of the most well-rounded offensive players in the game in terms of scoring/rebounding/passing. He's had tons of games where he switched from scoring mode to set up shots for teammates.

As for Yao, he doesn't stuff the stat sheet every single night? That's primarily a result of a lack of touches in many games. Last year when Tracy was out, he was a freaking monster on both ends of the court...but I guess Charles can't remember that far back. Hell I guess Charles can't remember last night when Yao had 17 rebounds against the leading rebounder in the game today. Per minute, Yao isn't a much worse rebounder than Tim Duncan, but nobody feels the need to call him out. Seriously, when did 10 rebounds become sub par?

 

11-41 without him... and no reason to expect it to be anything but 11-42 after tonight.

 

And I say to myself....what a wonderful world....PS3 starting a t 399....anyway, we won't get much for T-Mac....maybe we can trade him to the Knicks....I just hope he dosen't pull a Randy Moss and be an MVP somewhere else and make us look stupid like the Raiders...

 

Go check how many players averaged over 5 apg and 10 rpg last season.

 

What I mean is check each stat individually.

You will be surprised how short the list is.

 

I still think the Yao-T-Mac experiment can work. Thgey have won 50+ games in 2 of their first 3 seasons, and lost in 7 game series' vs 2 very good teams despite having a rash of injuries (Howard didn't play vs Mavs, Wells didn't against the Jazz).

 

This feels like another game that is going to get away from us. We had a 9 point lead (or was it 11) when the scrub brigade came in (James, Brooks, Scola). Maybe we don't want cast offs: Francis, James, and even Scola are cast offs).

 

Agree or not with what Magic said, I don't think it's professional for him to say that, especially with his ties with the Lakers. You don't see Citibank CEO coming out to say that Goldman Sachs COO or CEO should go.

Barkley's a r****d. They don't fill up the other part of the sheets? Yao is 20-10, and TMac has been a 5-6 assists guy forever. Sure Yao is no Howard in rebound, and TMac isn't Nash in assists. But so is not Kobe, Wade, and LeBron.

I agree leadership is an issue, but they came out and call for a trade, and made up bogus arguments about rebounds and assists? Kenny said no defense? Sure they don't have it this year, but what about the JVG years? Geez, those talking heads.

 

I like the locker room cam....thats great!!!!

 

When RA talks, all I hear is inaudible noises...
