ClutchFans Game Thread: Sonics @ Rockets 2/22/2005

Great, Stricknine is in the game now.

 

Yao 3 fouls.

 

we are getting schooled in rebounding

 

Jerome James was punching Yao Ming while backing in to him and they called a foul on Yao. unbelievable.

 

Anyone see that movie The Cooler?

Rod Strickland is our cooler. He's poison. Every time he comes into the game you can watch our lead evaporate.

 

They clearly are trying to bait him into foul trouble... its their only hope right now.

 

I love how Jerome James pushes Yao Ming in the back with his forearms as Yao turns around to shoot that fadeaway. the refs suck.

 

Yeah, I've seen it. I thought Karl Malone or Barkley are the ultimate definition of cooler in NBA.

 

HHHHMMMMM............What's it called when the defensive player swats the offensive player's arms down?

Isn't there a word for that?

 

strickland leading rebounder lol

 

The question with Strick was is he out of shape or is he old. I think the answer is old, he is not finishing his layups, a sure sign he has lost a step. Man, I hope CD is able to get Portland to return his calls.

 

Its hillarious... I guess its just because JVG's defense only yields jumpshots which yield long rebounds which yield good rebounding numbers from your PG (but, we still miss Sura).

 

I like Andre as point.

 

Where is Barry? We need him to play more minutes when Sura is out.

 

Wesley shoots too much. 7/16 so far. bad offenseplan?

 

mcgrady needs to step up in the 4th if rockets wanna win this one

 

They need to get Yao the ball EVERY TIME down.

 

COLLISON with the COLLISION on YAO!

 

wow how are sonics in this game

35% FG
15% from 3
59% from free throw

 

Offensive rebounding, second-chance points, and we're not shooting all that great either.
