ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Wizards 11/21/2008

duncan can switch to face up yao too. in a playoff series, duncan will get his numbers against yao. that's what he did against shaq and shaq's a better post defender than yao.

 

Scrubs always have good games when facing Yao. Celtics Perkins was the prime example. now Wizzards' two centers

 

I'll take the score, given we were down by 16 points in the 1st quarter.

 

that was a shot within the offense, not a jack up type of shot. he missed, but it was a good shot.

 

love to see landry play more like this.

bang bang. manly give us 10-20points.

 

trade Yao for a scrub,we may get better

 

All this complaining about Yao is funny. Yao isn't playing bad defense. Blatche is just making shots over him.

 

Why can't we sign Deke? He would be great for second unit. I just loved his finger wagging.

 

All our starters are in the minus !! This is just flatout ridiculous and something needs to change, hopefully it will start the 3rd quarter. By the way, why was T-mac pissed which caused him to make a steal and drive to the basket ?? And why hasn't he worked his ass off like that one freaking minute since ??

 

He was mad about something in the timeout. I guess they fixed it.

The team needs to suck before T-Mac will ball lol. Too bad he can't just do that everytime he touches the ball.

 

that guy is a 36% shooter. man he sucks. Yao, . it is funny.

 

Sacramento also had no other choice but to run the offense. They had no one that could create for others or score off the dribble (even Bibby was more of a shooter than creator). Without ball movement/shooting, they had no chance.

We, however have players that are used to being able to score without running around, setting screens, and making cuts. Hard to break those kind of habits.

 

i really think tmac needs to just sit down for a month or so and let that knee heal

 

The way you guys keep b****!ng every play and every player, we might as well trade all of our big 3 for some scrubs.

 

You're right, a guy that averages 6 points a game on 38% shooting should be exploding against the best center in the league.

 

I agree. This is very true. They didn't have any dominant 1 on 1 scorers. We have 2, now 3.

Some players just need the ball to score. And some players are just iso players. I thought Rick was coming here to help us offensively, not to impose his motion offense and see if it works or not?

 

Nah he shouldn't, Dwight Howard would eat him.

 

5 starters==24 points

Landry+Brooks=23 points.

Our starters won.

 

I agree with that. T-mac is a guy that can create if we iso him and put him in the post. Artest is a better post up player. Obviously the same with Yao.

The 2nd unit is the one that this offense is for.

 

but yao always gives them WIDE OPEN jumpers (but that's understandable b/c you can't expect him to go out). but he gets beaten way too often off the dribble even if he gives them a cushion and still falls for a lot of fakes.

it's like these guys aren't afraid of yao at all. you don't see that with deke manning the paint.

i hope they sign deke back to put some intimidation into the opponent so when yao is in, he should see less fouls
