Clutchfans Game Thread: Rockets @ Warriors 12/12/2008

Same reason I am not playing

 

ugh..after I say this, Udrih missed 2 FTs after the timeout and suddenly instead of being a 3 point game, now the lakers are 10 points up instead

 

yao was tired and started to play soft at the end, but you guys can't denied he rocked in this game. he dunked most of his fg up until the end, and more importantly... we won

 

No way they're gonna turn it around by 10 points deficit with only 1:36 on the clock.Hope they could defeat the Fakers but it's just the HOPE.

Well,the best part of tonight's games is we roll over the Warriors second time this season.

 

but only a confident tracy will take those shots on a consistent basis. for tracy to take those shots, it shows you his confidence is back (in his health for him to do those things).

and the game was out of line so he was just jackin' it up and called his own plays.

obviously if tracy wants to try some things, you have to let him b/c he's such a talent you cannot handcuff how he plays. he did a great job of playing within himself before then.

but again, shots like that tells me tracy is on his way back.

 

He did way better than I expected and it was a great relief and a lot of fun. He looked fluid out there. I don't know what to expect next,let's keep our fingers crossed.

 

Yeah he could be really out of shape for tomorrow's game. But the Clippers aren't doing themselves any favors either letting the game go into 2OT...

 

Why are you guys so hard on Mcgrady???

I bet if you had his injuries and at the same athletic level...you would sit out too. Besides, he did well this game so don't complain about what he did in 30 seconds of the many minutes he played.

 

T-Mac looked comfortable playing against the worst defensive team in the league. But he played 35 NBA minutes, and he did better than I expected. I want to see how he responds tomorrow.

 

Why the heck the coach keep playing our starters when we lead by 20 plus points? They've already show no interests in staying on court, Yao seem to want to get rested and Tracy should not play more than 35 minutes considering it is his first game after two weeks' holiday, not to mention we have a B2B tomorrow.

 

I don't get that either. Sure the bench had a few relapses in defense but we were still up by like 16 pts when that happened...

 

I think the idea was to get some in game practice in.

Tmac and Yao have been averaging 33 minutes the past couple of weeks (when they played), so I'm not really worried about their stamina.

 

Adelman isn't confident enough when Yao and Tracy aren't on the floor. Our inability to close out games and to collapse is well known.

 

Eh.. up by 20 though? We've given up 2 double digit leads late in a game, but we've pulled far more close games out.

 

Brooks and Landry on the floor together ... they can be exciting, dynamic players on offense. But there are A LOT of defensive breakdowns with them.

 

I can't help it. I am very hard for McGrady. There is no doubt he makes the Rockets harder.

 

RA could've just put Battier, maybe even hayes in there. But tmac and yao IMO was not warranted at that point.

 

TMac as rockin' it tonite

 

Scolandry aka double headed monster, combined for 37 Points and 13 rebounds. They are defintely our most consistent duo.

Its funny because when I think PF, I don't think Scola or Landry, I think Scolandry, they are like a package!

Good game by the Mac as well, everyone played well.

 

Good to see Mac back on track.
