ClutchFans Game Thread: Sonics @ Rockets 12/29/2003

Dont forget UTAH to.

 

Passed the damn ball to Yao's hands. Gee, he is 7 freaking 5, he doesnt hop around.

 

If SF or JJ made one more FT, then it would be different.

 

Because he is too much of a p***y to get position and demand the ball.

If Yao wants to shoot more, than PLAY like a man...not some tall amazoneon no jumping b**** A$$ woman that he is playing like now.

The way he plays he would not score at the local YMCA either....he is so fricken soft....and his upper body balance sucks...

Why can't he box someone out? Why can't he use his elbows in people faces to clear some room? Why can't he play ball like a FRICKEN MAN !!!

yao just had to jump an inch to get the ball. Anyways if he didn jump Ray allen can jump and get the ball out of yao's hands. It isnt like allen can touch yao's hands when they are fully extended

 

Time to bring up the Francis trade. I am sick tired. The guy is most overrated. I dont know what he was doing out there down the strecth. People, I am telling you he is not that good.

 

Oh please, having rebounding stats are nice, you have to get the clutch rebounds to. He doesn't clear room for others. This entire team isn't playing with any fire or consistency and it's embarrassing.

 

Francis made a horrible pass there....Yao needs to get a LOT better at standing his ground...a feather in his back and he falls over.


Cato STINKS on outlet passes, and our whole frontline tonight just watched rebound after rebound fall into enemy hands.

Where the HECK is our energy player off the bench? We desperatly need a Rueban Patterson, Eduardo Najera type of player....who energizes with his hustle.

We have the most lackidasical players on the planet, and a PG who is possible the worst decision maker this side of Quincy Carter.

Pathetic.

uggggggh.........................time for more trade threads. Actually, i have seen enough...it is time for a change. i have officially moved over to the " let's trade Francis or Mobley" fan club. I'm really sick of the chemistry this team has or lack of. I'll give Yao one more year before I say trade him too. Just terrible to watch the Rockets.

 

i saw mo and yao post up numerous times but they never get the ball.

 

This makes no sense. Yao lead houston with 15 points tonight. Yet you say he can't score at the YMCA?? Does this mean everyone else on the rox who scored LESS than Yao can score at the YMCA? Try making some sense next time if you want to bash Yao.

 

I watched that inbound-pass three more times, thanks to my DVR. Francis threw that ball out of Yao's reach, pure and simple. How could it be a mistake on 7'5 center, if the ball was inbounded right.

 

so ugh...being a kid who rode on rashard's bus in middle school and high school...i was really pissed off at the rockets when they didnt draft him. a hometown kid with enormous talent and an enormous heart-driven desire to play for his home town and houston shafts him. now look at him. look at us.


rasheed? mcgrady? trade yao jackson francis and mobley....
fire gundy?
whatever. some radical changes have to be made.

 

bill and calvin even said steve threw it away.

 

Yao was soft, didnt rebound well tonight. But if people blame Yao for the loss, there is no justice. He was the only one scoring for us in the end.

 

I have said it before, and I'll say it again...if Yao don't get as much shots as anyone on the team, the Rox is not going to win much game. Why can't they understand that!! I don't care if he's double...there has to be a way to get him the ball. Tell him to stop doing too much pick n roll which tire him out...tell him to post up and demand the ball ...and stop pick and roll. If not trade Mobley for Wallace nOW!!!

 

Xeno.....15 points at 7'6", are you satisfied with that output?

He should be averaging 25 points and getting 12+ boards.

He simply is out of position ALL THE DARNED time, he is a very smart player, but he is not tough at all, and his toughness is severly lacking.

Yao needs to toughen up, or he will NEVER be a great player....his is good now...but we need him to be great.......

Just look at how many times he falls to the ground.....his balance is horrendous.

It's the whole team's fault when they lose and when they win, it's the whole team who gets the W. You win as a team and lose as a team. Simple as that, tonight it's the whole team's fault we lost from the frontcourt to the back.

 

It's sad that Houston passed on Houston native Rashard Lewis.

 

15 points only because his teammates ignore him. Look at Lebron...he's a rookie and is taking over 20 shots a game. Whatever, can't change the mind of a YOB...another clueless person to add to my ignore list.
