ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Sonics 10/20/2007 (PRESEASON)

Man....one thing i like about James over Rafer is his penetration and aggressive at the hoop. And of course i think he has better size and play better defense.

Now that i seen the lineup of James Tmac Shane Scola and Yao...i am kind of leaning toward that lineup now.

 

MJ is playing horrible!!!


NOT!

 

let's see.

lebron, 1 nba final
wade, 1 championship ring
kobe, never mind.

tmac, 0 playoffs win.

 

how can u hate mike james?

he passes. ppl make it seem like he's a ballhog. sure if he's on the 2nd unit. but he's been doing his job whenever he's w/ tmac and yao.

AND he makes his shots more often that not.

 

McGrady blocked durant.. poor kevin..

 

Would what MJ just do be termed putting his defender "in the popcorn maker"? That was a nasty crossover.

 

Now you are talkin' sense, my man.

 

cmon it's ONLY preseason. let the reg. season tell the story. though talent-wise i consider tmac > all, but he has to win for me to say he's better than kobe.

 

I think MJ is starting to gel (again) with the other players. If he isn't starting on opening night I think he will be before Thanksgiving.

 

DAM mike put a mix on that boy!!!!

 

somebody tell me why snyder is back in

 

If TMac would never take another 3 I would be really happy.

 

oh my, Mike James crossing the defender up then out to Battier for the 3!!!

 

Kobe 3 championships due to having the most dominante player of alltime.
Same with wade.
Lebron only beat one ok team in the road to the finals. individually and team wise tracy is superior. when he is healthy there isnt anyone better. damn hater fool..

 

4:39 HOU - S. Battier made a 25-foot three-pointer from the left wing. Assist: M. James

16 points from Shane Battier !! I guess he really likes the Rick Adelman's new systems, and is putting in more efforts in offense.

 

Ok Let's see what our bench can do

 

Yao has become the best center in the NBA in the past two years by being consistent. It used to be that every third game or so Yao would have a complete clunker and be a total non-factor. In part due to JVG keeping him in the low post, the clunkers mostly disappeared.

I really hope today is not evidence that the clunkers will come back. Part of the reason he is sucking is because he isn't getting consistent touches and isn't allowed to get into a rhythm. Again, Adelman's system seems to allow this sort of thing to happen.

 

Can we buy Kirk Snyder a ticket out of town? I love the guy's athleticism but he should not be shooting threes, yet that seems to be all he's doing.

 

And Snyder does not deserve to be on this team. Lucas, Novak, and Landry all bring more to the table.

 

What the hell is Snyder doing?
