ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Timberwolves 12/6/2006

I can think of another 's' word, on how we played tonight.

We clearly have a Jekyll and Hyde thing going on here. No one is expecting them to play they way they played last night (at least I hope no one is) against the Warrior, every night, but no way in hell that they can play this bad after a terrific win.

 

Do you enjoy the rockets losing? because your posts come off as being a mavs fan in disguise or something. You sound happy and enthusiastic about our rockets struggling. The negativity is sickening to hear from a
"Rockets fan".

 

Isn't he shooting about the same percentage as last year?

Also, the only one with a fiery attitude on our bench is V-Span and he didn't sniff the court in the 2nd half.

JVG still fuming over last night...I wonder if he benches Yao or Tmac after their horrible games tonight?

DD

 

This team will lose in the exact same way in the playoffs. Teams will double our two stars and make the role players beat them. T-mac still jacking up 3's to the end and Yao getting his shot blocked because he wasn't going up strong enough.

The last play of the game where T-mac looked lost with KG on him was inexplicable. Did we not have any time outs left? JVG call a time out and draw up something. You're down 3 with a chance to tie and we get nothing. Not even a good shot at the basket.

Also, JVG's substitutions killed his own teams momentum. They start to get on a roll and he pulls the wrong guy at the wrong time. Yet another 4th quarter melt down. This game was just taken by a team more interested in winning it.

 

MY question is, why hasn't anyone called the NBA out on it's racism yet? Besides JVG vaguely hinting at it and getting fined $100K to shut him up...Yao dunks the crap out of the ball, turns to walk away and lets out a scream of relief at his frustration, not directing it at anyone in particular, and gets T-ed up...KG fouls the crap out of Yao and jumps around like a moron, and it's ok...oh no, can't have the asian guy getting too full and confident of himself, a player of his color and talent is too threatening for us, we already let the black guys have the league, now we gotta let the asian guy be good too? that's too much to handle...in the NBA it's a zebra effect...its only about the black and white. he gets no calls from the refs and no love from the media or players. u can read between the lines when players freeze him out when asked about the best young centers in todays game...ok, that's my rant.

that game SUCKED.

 

Yao didn't take many jumpers this game, but had a lot of missed soft layups and blocked dunk attempts when Twolvs obviously clog the middle and refs obviously let a lot of hacking go away. If Yao could make a few his jumpers, he might have more room to operate.

 

We should have played Novak>

 

Yao should show the Refs up in a game like this......get a tech on purpose.....when he is getting pushed around, he needs to let them know that it is NOT acceptable and if Yao won't do it, then the little bald general needs to step in and do it for the team.

JVG should be SCREAMING at the refs....Pop would.

Yes i enjoy Rafer and Juwan help the Rockets lose.

I have a Dirk doll on my bed.

You nailed it!

I would let you borrow my sarcasm detector but since you are a Rockets fan, No soup for you!!

 

That is exactly what we need. We gave this one away without a fight. We just dropped the soap and took it like Deliverance.

 

can someone remind me again why we traded mike james for rafer alston?

 

if we played Novak we could have won the game

*runs*

 

you're talking about JVG. his best offensive scheme is get the ball to the greatness that is Tracy McGrady and pray that he makes something happen. well, we saw how that went...

 

i think we're overreacting.........but yes refs are racist and yes we need a fiery guy. cmon bobby we need ya! one bad game, lets take it as a learning experience. 12-6 its all good kindof. maybe. hopefully. lol jk mayb.....JK JK JK! 12-6 ahhhh i feel like im going crazy

 

and what the hell? lol i find this hilarious DD "I have seen the future, and it is Dan Langhi. This guy has more game then most players in the NBA today... Langhi will be a star in the NBA, no doubt in my mind."

because James a little biatch

I'll rather watch Alston hitting bricks

 

Chojie, I did not see the game but can you tell me whether or not Tracy's plan to "let Mike James keep launching them" worked out?

 

The Wolves are a good defensive team, and we're a sub-average offensive team, on the season. So credit them for their defense. They had a lot to do with shutting down our stars.

 

thats one of the classics that still stuns new members

 

Well, Yao did get a technical which was unintended, what was he gonna do after that?

The T was a total BS call. You have KG jumping up and down on the court like a ***** and almost in the face of his opponents and yet the Refs turned a blind eye.

Bullcrap.
