ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Raptors 3/16/2007

The last two words have no effect on tigermission1, just to let you know.

 

get Chuckster on the court god damn it... hes the reason we led 20!

 

Bonzi didn't make the road trip, so don't expect him to see him next game either.

 

yeah gg refs ****ing calling everything on us.

 

what is the deal with these refs treating the raptors like the princes of the league

 

I am not talking about a specific possession, I am commenting on his overall body language. He looks dead tired and that's when he gets in trouble (with TOs especially).

Stamina/Endurance is and has always been Yao's biggest enemy.

Anyways, the Rockets are playing loose and careless this quarter, they're far too relaxed for a team that has never won anything.

You have Spurs, Mavs, Suns, and Heat streaking going into the playoffs. The Rockets, on the other hand, are cruising along hoping to 'save energy' for the playoffs.

That's why we're nowhere near an elite team. It's the mental approach to the game that defines greatness and leads to success, not just talent.

 

This team is lacking that kiler instinct right now. When you have a guy down, step on his throat. Don't let him back up.

We got lucky on that missed layup.

I sure hope this game doesn't go down to the wire like the Clipper game.

 

our defense have just broken down completely in the second quarter.

 

refs are working their butts off trying to give the raps some serious homecourt advantage

 

YAO is tired.. he needs get himself into the game shape ... come on big man, you can do it. dominate the game! make score 30 points in the second!

 

Rockets with only 4 FT attempts and the Raptors have 14!
We should really thank the Refs for doing such a solid job keeping the raptors in this game!

 

Is Luther Head a professional player? He and Snyder played path pathetic basket here, why JVG keeps playing them?

I don't get it. Dump them and you can get much better players from oversea.

 

Mmm...I'm watching this game on TSN.

Two things; the Raptors color commentary is a HELL of a lot better then Clyde. They were discussing Yao's strength and how he should use it more to his advantage in low post situations rather then finesse it all the time, especially when manned up by Bargninai (which is major disrespect from Sam Mitchell). Talked about his conditioning, the knee brace and how the Raptors were using speed to discomfort Yao.

I'm sitting there, thinking about how the only insightful thing Clyde has ever said about Yao; "Yao is a big fella."

Second...HOW DO THE ROCKETS LOSE THESE BIG LEADS. GAH.

 

Refs are not calling any foul on Toronto right now, tough second half is coming up next.

 

What did we do to the refs to piss them off!? Yao could be on the receiving end of a Stone Cold Stunner and they still wouldn't call it.

 

Yao really did not well at all since Sun's game.

 

We're getting F8cked over by the refs. This is beyond blatant. Someone needs to get a T. I'd say Yao should do it but he's been kinda soft lately.

 

Luther Head is not a PG, hes a SG, a size doesnt determine your position, what your good at does.

 

Why can't Yao shoot some bank shots like Duncan?

Fundamental, big man.

 

Luther Head did some helps, but not as much as NBA refs.
