ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Raptors 12/9/2007

I MISS JVG!!!!!!!!

 

Sooooo Glad I didn't watch this game.

Big lost to a lousy team. And the Rockets had a lead.

That seems like a rerun of some sort.

Oh well, it's December right?

 

Raptors turned into the best defense team in the 2nd half. Rockets turned into the worst team in the NBA. One thing that Skip is the best at is bring the ball up court. Francis was slow doing that today. Was not as aggressive as we've seen him. T-mac turned into a one man show? Why? Yao made a vanishing act too. Give Francis a chance as a starter. Remember, the first half we played good. Credit the win to the Raptors defense. If I had to blame one player, T-Mac takes this one.

 

WE NEED MJ TO HANDLE THE BALL 38 MINUTES SO HE COULD SCORE 30 POINTS PER GAME AND LEADS THE ROCKETS TO CHAMPIONSHIP. FORGET T-MAC AND YAO. MJ GOT BLING - A RING. MJ IS BASKETBALL GOD AND HE CAN DO IT.























oh! i think MJ is Michael Jordan, not freaking Mike James.

 

He didn't get those rebound in the second half when the team needed him to.

 

Don't you think Pop would have a few choice words r TMac after those horrible chucks? He would bench TMac right away. He knows that *every* possession is important. TMac's chuck when we were up 11 would have resulted in a time out and a tongue lashing by Pop.

Seriously, when was the last time you saw a low percentage shot by the Spurs? TMac has the green light to shoot low percentage shots. That, my friends, is why he'll never win a championship.

It is so simple, but so-called good players and coaches don't get it.

 

I hate to ruin my Sunday afternoon over a sports team, but this game seiously pissed me off. We are going one step forward two steps back. I have seen no signs of this team getting better. As I said in the game thread, we have no identity right now.

And for the rants:

TMAC needs to stop taking those stupid jumpers!! You are a streaky shooter Tracy! Don't shoot them when you are cold. You play at your best when you pass the ball and get your teammates involved.

Yao, get a board for the sake of mother Terasa!!! You are 7 freaking 6. Don't let freaking Humphries own you. And demand the ball on offense when the perimeter players are not making shots. You are SUPPOSEd to be the best center in the league.

Steve, I love you but make a ******* free throw when you are on the line!!!

And MJ, just disappear. You suck so much I don't want to ever see you again!!!!

 

Only in the first half.

 

because tmac is the team......the spurs are a team.

 

The Spurs continue to win without Duncan beating Dallas and Utah, the Rockets can't even beat the Raptors without "Skip to my Brick!"

 

I'm pretty sure that TMac playing the point for a large portion of the game affected his shot. Francis backing in Ford in the backcourt in the first half was insane. Adelman needs to just stick with the same lineup that he knows can win games, and develop an effective, consistent, bench. That is all. We should win the championship.

 

He make a couple three in the first few minutes; then he disappeared. After that, TMac said, "This is my ball and you can't have it"

 

correction only in the first quarter

 

thats more than usual

 

I don't think Yao played too poorly. It certainly wasn't his best game, but he protected the rim like he's supposed to. When the Raps got into the lane, Yao went up, and they kicked it out and Rasho and whatshisname buried the J's. Yao can't be in 2 places at once.

 

attaboy shane! dissappearing right on time

 

Yeah, Tmac thrills me, then kills me...he is a sight to see when he is on, but it makes him take some ridiculous shots early in the shot clock without anyone touching the ball. SIGH...Tmac is like that hot chick you have a crush on...teases you, then stomps on your heart...

 

Adelman - just a horrendous coaching job. Sucked! JVG looks good right now. BTW, how long does it take for 12 professsional players to learn and execute a system??????????

Put Mike James at the end of the bench right next to Luther Head. If either one sees any more playing time soon, it'll be another huge RA mistake.

Except for Landry's hustle, Rocket rebounders were MIA. But so were the shooters/scorers, passers, and Defense.

Like it or not, missing Rafer was more important than anyone thought.

Just a bad day? Or another enduring nightmare?

 

This is about what I'm going through right now with the Rockets

Agreed about James. If he's not hitting that rainbow J of his, and he's dribbling and stumbling about out around the 3 point line - 30 seconds'a that and PARK HIS ASS!!!
