ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Timberwolves 3/20/2005

Thanks for Deke.

 

You mean including the 5 more he put up but didn't count since he went to the FT line?

 

Bullard will be kicked off tonight.

Just no personality man, I am surprised he came this far. But I guess the competition was crappy, so it made him look better.

Dee Brown I think will get the job

 

Man we miss Juwan. Spoon isn't going to cut it, the twin towers was a flop, Padgett doesn't seem to have JVG's confidence as a starter, Bowen was the best solution tonight. JVG, start RB at the PF.

 

we need a pass first PG, not a pass first center.
Seriously, PG is still the missing link.

 

I thought he shoulda driven more to the basket, but given his history, he usually makes most of those shots anyway. I dont see why he is being called selfish, if you watch the game, who else is he gonna give it to outside of Yao who has 9 FGA and 14 FTA in only 28 minutes played.

This was just another bad game in a row, I dont know why the Rox looked so lackluster coming out of the gate. They almost remind me of the teams form last couple of years, where we would get up for the big games, but against teams who dont affect our standings like scrubby tams or Eastern COnf. teams, we would just mail it in. Hopefull yhe way we lost the last 2 games can wake us up.

 

If Deke was on the court from the very begining, we might have won this one with the same performance from other players...

 

Why is it people on this board feel the need to interpret and take a shot at someone whenever someone has different opions.

It's BBS not religious conformation.

 

You nailed it, Nick. Instead of this bickering after a loss, somehow the team is not bringing it in the beginning.

 

We wont be a bad team because TMac wont have too many 4-22 nights and MJ and Wesley are in a small funk. The defense tonight was not very good either save for a few moments in the 4th

 

Now that IDIOT Woody Paige continues his hate on Yao, calling him soft and "didn't live up to expectations"!

I hate the national media. I hope they NEVER praise us again, they are a bunch of phonies who change their opinions as often as they change underwear

 

I'm actually glad that this team is back on earth again. They may start to play some defense again soon.

 

you mean shaq never goes to the line?

oh wait, lets use your logic.

shaq goes to the line 10 times per game on average.

thats 5 more shots.

19.

yao goes to the line 6 times on average.

3 more shots.

15.

the discrepancy is even worse in light of this

 

But what is really our system? It seems that we are basically a jump shooting team with less athletic, less reliable shooters than the Suns.

When our outside shots are not falling, we struggle ridiculously on the offensive end. Witness the ugly first 6 min when we could not buy an uncontested shot.

BTW, Yao and Tmac really needs to shoot the FTs better from now on. We might have had a chance if we had not missed that many freebies from the line tonight.

 

a lot of roxs fans they don't like yao
they want roxs to win but they don't want yao to be a star
they just want him to be a role player
they only care tmac
they don't care how many shots he take
they just don't want yao takes more shots than him

 

You hit the nail in the head, man!

 

WTF????

 

Please stop this stupid comment. There are this kind of fans but they are not ROCKETS fan! In this board, I remember only the already lost charvo belongs to this fan.

 

Tmac needs to put that Weisbrod feud outta his head cuz its clearly affecting his shooting. The last thing we need is to let Weisbrod affect us in this matter. The best revenge agaisnt Weisbrod is to forget about that moron - his team is self-destructing anyways, as a direct result of his stupidity - and to play with intensity and beat the crap out of everyone like we were doing.

 

Do we have to have a discussion on Yao's soht attempts every frigging game?????? We lost cuz the team shot 33%, Give it a ****ing rest already
