ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Spurs 2/23/2005

Were you watchin' the play? Barry drove himself into no-man's land and tried to bail himself up by flippin' the ball to YAO from 2 feet away in traffic

 

Damned Yao. Get a freaking Rb and stay away from those stupid fouls!!!

 

Well, the Spurs are damn good... but had we had Sura, I'm pretty sure we'd be in better shape.

Damn... who knew that just one seemingly role-player that everyone here was calling out just two weeks ago is such a vital, integral, difference-making, x-factor that drastically changes our production.

He keeps Tracy fresher because he doesn't have to bring the ball up.... he keeps the offense moving so its not so one-dimensional (notice how the Spurs are denying Yao all sorts of position right now, and the offense stalls)... and he's our best rebounder.

UGH!

 

You're right, but neither of those last two passes were very good.

 

I don't understand Yao.
Is he a bust or what?
The game is close to the end, Yao got only 2 rebounds??????
This is the only reason that Rox got killed!
Yao sucks.

 

It is the nba and there is 430 left remember last night?????

 

Okay, it's time for TMAC to step up...

Can he miss any more shots???

 

I am now full conviced that Tmac is not yet in Kobe's league in terms of absolute greatness.

This thought has been hatching in my mind for weeks now and the time for truth has arrived. Tmac does not have the extra drive and "umph" Kobe has.

That said I will take what tmac gives over the rest of the NBA at his position save for Lebron.

 

Geritol Player of the Game was Rod Strickland.

 

What a fight by the team.

To be fair, with or withour Sura, we should have less than 40% chance to win this game,

no better than 60% to win last game

 

Donot agree. With sura, we have more than 60% on both games.

 

What the hell is Strickland doing here?

 

We will lose tonight. But with a decent PG, we can compete with anyone.

 

STRICKLAND IS TERRIBLE!!!!!

 

can u believe this!!!!

 

If the team is healthy, I like out chance against the Spurs.

 

strickland sux major. we need a point guard.

 

Yeah, great assessment. He's only played 26 minutes and is playing pretty solid defense. The guy is defending the other center and look at how many rebounds he has. Oh yeah, isn't he shooting nearly 70% the last 10 games?

 

CD, please make it happen. We need a PG, damn it. Looks like a free fall from here on.

 

The combo of Parker and Manu killed us today. I'd love to have one of them on the rockets team...
