ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Timberwolves 12/16/2003

The ROX have got to do sumthin!! Of our 10 losses, 9 are in the Western Conf. Of those 9, 6 of them were in the Midwest Division. If something doesn't shake, we have no chance even if we do make the playoffs. I know its early, but this trend has got to stop.

 

Have you graduated from primary school? What the word "everyone" means? It means 100%. Is this true that not even one post blame Yao? Are you kidding? If I can find a single post blame Yao but not Steve, I say you are a liar.

 

a little change of subject but who thinks we gonna get beat by cleavland. I have a feeling we will.

 

It worked for me, thanks very very much.
There are people who don't want to watch live and there are also people who's dying to just listen on the radio.

 

Look this is not about me...whether I graduated from primary school is not important. Furthermore, you don't want to mess with me tonight. So I used the wrong word..you got the point!

Thanks for the reply.
Now I can add the Timberwolves to the list of audio links.

 

What the hell was that?!!!!!!!!!
I smell a shakeup coming real soon. Let's not delay the inevitable and end this misery and suffering NOW!!

 

Hehehe....I was just joking.

 

Players really don't TRUST Yao to pass him the ball. He turns over the ball a lot just like everyone else, and his jump shot has a low percentage. Plus, he can't rebound consistently. He needs time to improve before guards pass him the ball.

 

Yao is being aggressive, he gets potion and stays that way going in a semi circle to the other block while in the paint, the guards wait till he has position on the block to give him the ball and dont pass it to him when he's in motion. the guards need to stop being so hesistant with throwing the ball to Yao when he's moving. Cato needs to hit a shot and stop gettin in foul trouble. mooch needs to be traded. but people don't worry, no matter what, we'll make the playoffs, we'll hit some shots, and we will make a trade.

 

LMAO.

A good one, brother. The only thing that can light up my mood tonight.

 

I'm drunk...

and sad...

but hopeful...

goodnight...

Man, this was tough to watch. The Rockets are playing so uninspired and with no fire at all. I can accept them losing,but at least if they went down fighting it wouldn't be so bad. I really think Yao is losing interest bc his teamates are playing streetball. I wish we never got rid of Kenny or Hawk,at least u know they're gonna give it 110% every game.

 

Rockets need to do something...Rockets keep winning against teams from Eastern Conf which has really weak teams and keep loosing games whever ROX meet western team...

Rockets need to admit that the fresh start of early season was all about lucky schedule...

Francis can't be a good passer(I belive there's not many player can defeat him in one on one action, but you know...)
And...even though he has been good job during this season, Mobley is questionable for me all the time.
Jim Jackson is not who he was and Cato can't shoot(did you see his horrible shoots during the game? he barely hit the rim if it's not a dunk)
Yao...well I'm getting frustrating about him...I still belive he has big potential but he's too weak to dominate the game...

I can see some good signs from Mo Taylor but he also commit too many TOs...

I don't think Rockets can make 50% winning percentage at the end....just guess....but not hope that happen....

 

Everytime I see Van Gundy substitute Moochie into the game, or when he takes out Yao and puts in Taylor, I feel the need to hurl..

Why can't he leave Moochie out of the game -- all he does is kill precious time off the shot clock and looks to pass with about 7-8 seconds to shoot. Not to mention his unusually high number of turnovers considering his playing time. It's better to just leave him on the bench. So much for that fat contract he got in the offseason. I think he's detrimental to the team--trade him, do something!

And as far as subbing Taylor into the game. Why can't Gundy take out Cato? He subbed in Taylor for Yao all game against the T-Wolves. Cato helps alot on the boards, but is it necessary for him to shoot jumpers from about 15 ft. out? Until he stops taking those ill advised shots, he shouldn't play. He's a big reason our field goal percentage is so low--not to mention Steve Francis' disgusting slump. Taylor can hit those outside shots that Cato supposedly thinks he has mastered the art of. And while taylor shoots, it can draw the double team off of Yao. When Cato shoots, the other team laughs and leaves him open, concentrating more on Yao.

 

I live in LA these days and it saddens me to say that Clippers have a more exciting team than our Rox. WTF is wrong with this team?

Definitely time for a change. Trade SF. Trade Yao. Trade JVG. Trade somebody.

 

Exactly Yao Ming is losing interest and its evident to everyone watching the last few Games. Its not only him, I wonder about other players as well. When we were playing the last few Preseason Games and JVG was going deep, there was excitement among the players and fans alike. The Game is so dead now, he keeps playing the same players who keep playing the same old way every game.He need life, he needs Nachbar and Piatowski on the floor with Mobley Yao Ming and Taylor. Moochie sits on the bench from now on!! IMO. Cato comes off and plays backup Center.IMO Ford plays the back up Fower Forward. The Coach needs more change of pace, the public won't come to the Toyota Center to see a poor slowed down version of the 1984 New York Knickerbockers.Its realy dreadful to watch even for long time fans !!!!!

 

It's not so obvious to me. How exactly did you come up with such conclusion about Yao?

Yao has never made this much money in his life and now he is LOSING INTEREST after his first real pro-contract. I hope not.

 

I'd trade him to Golden State. Yao will get a whole a lot of Chinese basketball fans going to Warriors game to support him. Rockets will get 2 #1 draft picks and Dunleavy. Maybe this is the best for everyone. I'd like to get a passing point guard in the draft. I don't want Duke point guards.

 

The way they are playing now, I think they would lose all games before they meet the Lakers.
