ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Sonics 1/23/2008

*****, where is the motion offense? Everybody is standing around, picking their arse. No cutters, no slashers, .... {sigh}

 

This game is kind of a must win. Maybe they should go back to Yao, temporarily, while everyone else pulls it together.

 

I would take Tmac out of the game at this point, offensively he isnt doing a thing and defensively neither. The energy with him on court drops by 10 times.

 

Okay, nice offensive rebound. Too bad you threw immediately threw it right to Wally for a transition 2. It would have been better if you didn't get the rebound so that we could have gotten our defense set.

Better?

 

ITS TIME to get ride of an abundance of underachieving sg's

 

You know what is really sad about Luther and the team in general? He sucks on defense and is an undersized guard yet we cherish him so much because he can score (sometimes)... much like Hayes, we are damned and we need them.

 

The movements are in ther brain.

 

we're shooting 47% from the field. our offense is FINE.

we're giving up 61% shooting.

now seriously, why are we losing? it's NOT the offense. we need to pick it up offensively. we might try to play some zone to hide tmac b/c he's not moving well laterally.

 

As bad as our season has been so far, at least we're not Seattle. Case in point: they have a "Nick Collison Bobblehead" night coming up.

 

Too late to go back to Yao exclusively. Our shooters have shown that they've lost their rhythm and are no longer an outside threat - hence the sonics defenders sagging in for a double whenever Yao posts up.

 

IT'S TIME ... to lay an egg.

 

Nobody on the Rockets has looked good tonight. If you bench everyone who's screwed up the Rockets would have to forfeit.

 

Tmac doesn't have not much movement on both sides. I know he's hurt, he should just sit.

 

I don't know why, but TMac isn't trying tonight. He brings no energy or motivation, and when he sulked there after his missed layup instead of rushing back for transition defense, that set the tone for tonight.

 

nah then he would me Tracy McLady

 

The rockets dont like to be in the lead, we got this game.

 

Talentless scrubs like Luther and Hayes can only survive in JVG's safe and sound system. In a system like RAs which requires your creativity and athleticism, Luther and Hayes are worthless. (And conversely, how Brooks and Landry is doing well...even Scola, although not athletic, he's very creative around the post)

 

his first 3 touches = all drives

he just cut straight down the lane on yao's post up

are u guys seein the same thing or just like to diss the guy?

 

Scrubola catches all air.

 

actually his first touch was a shot which he iced
