Actually I remember Bulls games, and I also those threes Kerr made from MJ's driving and passing, and those points Lonley made during crunch time again from MJ's driving and passing. That's smart basketball. That's called team sport and trusting your teammates. If you always do the obvious things, you will never have a chance.
Steve does what he thinks the best..which does not mean a lot. He gets credit for trying his best, which may not be right for the team, or situation. If the coaching staff thinks they know how to work with him (by not trading him or using him differently), blame the coaches for the repeated bad plays at the end of most quarters. Having said that, it is probably best for both Steve the the Rockets to part their way. Mobley made bonehead decisions sometimes, but he soes not panic as easily as Steve. He also defends better. Get an average PG + second tier 3 or 4, Rockets will be a team nobody wants to see in the playoff.
It is you who has some memory problem. JVG gave the ball to Cat and he found JJ for the last shot. If it were SF, he would have jacked up an off balance air ball.
Wrong. 1. I've heard VG state numerous times the importance of fast breaks, getting easy transition baskets and pushing the ball in general. 2. When M Jackson is in the game he pushes the ball quite a bit more than Steve. Steve has said it plenty of times- "I'm going to play my game no matter what..." Well, that's his game.
I dont feel too bad about this loss.. I think everyone on the team played hard and JVG should have seen that and been happy about that at least. True SF made a bad decision at the end but JVG should have saved some timeouts too.. it was a fun hard fought game and we held our own against the champs. If we could ever learn to control our turnovers we would have one awesome team. J
Why do I have this weird feeling that Steve's about to be traded? Anyways....Yes SF should have taken it to the hole but after that nobody appeared open. So he took a bad shot. Nobody got open and the pick was unsuccesful so pretty much it was a busted play. And I'm guessing if there was a timeout avaiable than there wouldn't be a busted play. Blame the L on Mo Taylor and JVG before you do Steve.
We truly do have Francis-only fans. What did we see? 1. Yao had an awesome game. 2. Steve had a terrible game. 3. Steve still wanted to run the show during the last 5 minutes of the 4th quarter. The last shot of the game was terrible. So, in this thread the Francis-only fans suggest: 1. It's somehow Van Gundy's fault that Francis can't hit more than 1/3 of his shots. 2. Yao isn't "ready" to be the man (clearly, that efficient offensive play is all luck). And how dare he not block Ginobli's freaky-deaky hook shots after he blew past his man in the lane. There are more YOFs than FOFs on this board. But the FOFs are more insidious, because they're less honest about their inclinations.
I thought we were past the moral victories by now...specially since the spurs have already beaten the rockets twice this season....I don't think it's too much to ask for a little progress...this team is pretty much exactly the same as it was last year record wise at this time and that means no playoffs again...
True... MJ also HAS the ability to get shots off that other can NOT do. Thus, it's a strength with high percentage chance of being effective. Just because he's MJ.
Go to sleep, guys. Its' freances'team. 0.5 around. Some night his shot is hot, we win, some night it''s cold, sorry. Get along with it, or be some other team's fan. .
Posey and Horry are not on the Rockets payroll because of the horrid salary maneuvers of the last few years. The team is doomed to failure until these albatrosses come off the payroll. You can guess who the albatrosses are.
What did we see? 1. Yao had an awesome game. Not meeting expectations 2. Steve had a terrible game. He payed really hard 3. Steve still wanted to run the show during the last 5 minutes of the 4th quarter. The last shot of the game was terrible. It's called leadership So, in this thread the Francis-only fans suggest: 1. It's somehow Van Gundy's fault that Francis can't hit more than 1/3 of his shots. 2. Yao isn't "ready" to be the man (clearly, that efficient offensive play is all luck).

haven, when di people say in this thread that its jvg's fault for steve missing most his shots. Im just talking about the last shot. If JVG used his timeouts wisely, we could of gotten a better shot.
