ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Spurs 11/16/2007

We are not expecting.

We are dreading.

 

Dread Rafer ending the year at 30% from 3. Not 20. He will finish the year closer to his career average than the 20% he is at now. The law of averages dictates this. Rafer did not suddenly forget how to shoot the ball.

 

"So close" games sure do suck...

 

Only when ya lose.

 

Don't you have to know something before forgetting it?

According to Wang Meng in this, Yao suggested to Adelman before the game to let him defend Duncan and start Scola instead of Hayes, but Adelman didn't listen. His reasons were he'd be a much better defender on Duncan and without Tmac's sharp passing Hayes would be useless on offense and the defenders would totally ignore him.

Duncan shot 9 for 13 in the first half and scored 20 points. In the second, after Yao was switched on him, Duncan shot 2 for 9 and only 5 points.

 

Maybe Adleman doesn't know what he's doing afterall

Kidding aside, Yao does know his personnel better than Coach A.

 

Is there a torrent of this game?
