ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Sonics 4/11/2005

wow. why is it such a terrible label to be called a jumpshooting team? no one said anything about not being able to win like that. calm down man.... this team is not comprised of slashers and bangers, it's made up of guys like james, wesley, barry, and padgett who are relied upon to knock down JUMPERS. if the rockets aren't making outside shots how many games have you seen them drive it to the hole and start up the running game to win? i'm gonna guess not too many. yes t-mac takes it to the rim and he creates and he's an amazing player but he's a freakin jumpshooter, he's just damn good at it. jordan finished his career(as a bull) as almost strictly a jumpshooter. it doesn't have to be a negative label.

the rockets don't score every point on jumpshots but to say that's not a HUGE part of their offense is even more ridiculous. i guess it just depends on your definition of a jumpshooting team.

 

AS usually no Yao highlights on espn. those hacks make me sick. i swear to God lebron james scratchin his azz could be a top ten play wit these guys.

 

ok i was just peeved for no reason sorry. I guess it's not that bad, but i was under the impression you were defending mark jackson who DID use it as a negative label.

And i guess we'll have to deal with being a "jumpshooting" team until tmac/yao retires, because the only players we're going to sign are guys who will hit the open jumpshot. And yes, they're going to get plenty.

 

it's all good, i didn't see jackson's actual comments. saying we're strictly a jumpshooting team is wrong but i think it's fair to say that we basically live and die with how our well our shooters do. however our team is labeled doesn't really matter.

 

Lol you're right

 

ESPN sportscenter host: "That was a great behind the back move by Lebron". (Then they replay it in slow motion)

 

GREAT WIN.. 3 more wins to 50!!!! YEAH 50

GOOD GOD PEOPLE, we are gonna be a very good team for years to come as long as Tracy or Yao dont go Grant Hill on us...

 

yeah 50 is a sweeeeet number man. i'm drooling...

 

I think Yao played with effort every game, but he's too banged up and have all kinds of nagging little bruises and the legs never have chance to heal yet.

 

When someone dunks on him is when you'll see him again on Sportscenter.

 

Hush.

 

the thread is only 7 page? what tha..where's everybody

 

I was wondering too. Was the server down last night or something? I caught the second half of the game and there were only three pages at the time

 

I now retrack every nasty thing I have ever said about yao being a manchild...and really wasn't ment as nasty just5, ugh, get some kahunnas would ya ya big ape ? WELLL>..his play this week with his chin haggin open and blood gushing around and that stupid bandage hanging off his giant jaw..wel,, yao you ARE the man now dammit....go get em big guy..you have won me over...I can also tell PAT Hueing is having a hand in all this....ROLL ROCKETRS>>>>>>

 

mark jackson doesn't like jump shooters because he never took a jump shot in his life. he's the only player to never pick up his feet a millimeter off the ground when shooting a shot. i mean really, we're a jumpshooting team? he means to tell me that we've been jumping when shooting this whole time? but thats what you do when you shoot the ball right? what team is not a jump shooting team? other than miami pounding it into shaq half the time, what team is not a jump shooting team> everyteams a jump shooting team. the guy does not like it when people jump up off the ground to shoot the ball. he loves mario elie for his set shot. other than that he don't have no friends because they all jumped when they shot the ball. him and mario elie, thats it. they're starting a basketball camp 'called the lost art of the granny set shot'. but nobody will show up and mark jackson is mad and angry at jump-shooters.

 

Damn. You've got issues man.

 

LOL! good stuff

But seriously, ANYTHING Marc Jackson says that is bad about the Rockets is a good thing. I would only start to worry when he starts to praise us.

Here is all you need to know about Marc "Preacher-man" Jackson: when that T-Mac interview with Stephen A. Smith was aired, Jackson said that he applauds the Magic management for being "above this" (apparently he didn't do his homework to learn that Weisass has blasted McGrady for months before T-Mac even replied and cursed him back)
