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

a double u is a double u

I will take it.

 

adelman is r****ded for drawing up the inbounds play to give tmac the ball when he was 1-4.......then of course tmac misses both.....wtf was adelman thinking

 

Before we start criticizing Mac for the FT's... please do realize that without him we lose this game by 10+

 

not if we play against Portland. meaning Travis Outlaw against Toronto

 

This game represents the season. We can play well, it is just that most of the time, we don't. Somehow, we pulled it off, after hanging around (just barely) for most of the game.

 

Tmac is back!

Yao has 6 assists!

 

I'll take the win, but there were so many things wrong with this game that it's hard to even begin listing these things...but it all starts with Alston taking 18 shots compared to Yao's 13...we won't win many games with that shot distribution.

FTs are another thing that some people just need to farking work on.

 

Lucky it was against a crappy team that is relying on a rookie. Those missed FTs could've been the end of the season

 

Maybe he was the only one who could get open.

 

me too!!

 

tmac has to work on his fts. it's very worrisome that our go-to guy in the 4th cannot knock down a good % of his fts. it's just focus and requires a lot of practice. he has to start taking his fts seriously. it's going to bite us in the butt soon.

and it's not just tmac. everyone excluding yao needs a ton of work at the line.

 

Can't falut Tmac for missing those FTs. Rox wouldn't have come back without him.

But RA's desicion on who shot the free throw at the end is totally unacceptable.

 

gosh... almost had a heart attack on this game... anyways, thank god for the block by Hayes and the miss by Durant...tmac needs to work on his FTs... i think they were all standing around looking dejected and confused because we won the game.. i don't think they expected to.

 

Why do you even let Durant take that 3 at the end? Adelman is a *** n moron

 

Its better if we can blow out an elite team

(next 3 games blowoutssssss)

 

That last defensive play shows why Adelman has gone with Chuck over Yao on defensive possessions at the end of the game. Chuck was able to switch on to Durant, as he'd been doing earlier in the game, and force the miss. It pays to have a defender like him on your team.

Unfortunately, Chuck (and Luis, for that matter) has just been in a horrible slump on the offensive end. Yes (I heard the snickers), more so than usual.

 

great win !!!
my heart.......

 

I criticize the coach for putting him in that situation.

 

t-mac has to shoot 1000 FTs every day from now on. played a heck of a game, almost throws it all away because of the FTs.
great block by hayes, nice 3pt shooting by rafer.

seattle is a weak time, but at least we managed to beat a team after trailing entering the 4th. second time we pull it off in the season, if i'm not mistaken.

head was abused by wally, as soon as he left the court, we did that key run.

glad we got a win, these are the type of games that the rockets can't afford to lose.

 

No energy, no intensity, no hart, same Rockets day after day, month after month, year after year. An undeserved win but a win is a win: same words of the last 4 years.
