Who is Tmac? Does he play for the bulls. Sucks for them they have had so many injuries this year. Glad the Rockets team is healthy. We have so much team chemistry this year! Great team win tonight!
Yep, I got the same feeling from a game he called for us earlier in the season. Nice to see the Rockets getting some love from someone other than US. Hubie=Red Rowdy
Dallas was hot, I think they were 7-2 in their last 9 or something. To be dealing with all the uncertainty, to no longer have Rafer, to have that many TO's and to play such sloppy ball and to win anyway was big.
I would take the risk of losing a game or two to give Yao more rests, so that he is more efficient while playing, and most importantly, to minimize the chance for injury. Like towards the end of the third quarter, when the team was leading...
dirk nowitzki had 9 pts or whatever and we still barely won........jj barea looked like steve nash out there......yao only had 2 pts in the 4th quarter......sorry people, i cant get too excited over this.........last 2 real possession was aaron brooks holding the ball till the shot clock was at like 6 and then putting up a wild lay up and a 3, luckily the 3 went in.
i miss the game until the last 8 minutes, what i saw is a mess. nobody is cool enough and a few turnovers. yao still is confused whether to finish the offense himself or pass, the guy should be tougher and stronger, at least skilled enough at pretending to shoot, create an open postion for his shooters, and pass the ball out. AB is pretty confident and enthusiastic, but lacks experience, which is what he gotta improve in order to deal with those top PG in the playoff. ron gotta be smarter, calm down at the crucial moment.
woo....Lowry is not bad...and his just threw the crazy alleyoop pass to Yao at backcourt..not work though...
I am totally with you on that last statement. This kind of basketball is fun to watch. Not alot of stagnation, or one person dribbling for like 15 seconds. I saw a lot of ball movement and cohesiveness. Other than a few ill advised jacks by Artest(other than that his game was on point), it was fun to watch. Also can't wait to see Lowry once he becomes more acclimated to his new team.
I think SCOLA played very good, he Made important contributions towin the game. Look at Nowitzki 's Scores (9)and Hit rate(4-18). have you seen such a low percentage of hits with Nowitzki before this game .so ,abosolutely,these are SCOLA 's done
haha glad i picked him up on my fantasy team when i heard the trade I knew he wouldn't disappoint Although I recently just lost my first pick...amare... And a few weeks back Jason Terry... UGHHHH BUT GREAT WIN AND GREAT FINISH!!!!
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/bk/bkn/6273629.html Do you think this play was called by Rick or they merely wanted AB to do it and sort of expected Aaron to make the right play ? Either way, I'm worried. - If it was called I'm really worried about Ron. If you look at the clutchfans video of the last two threes by AB you can see Artest calling for the ball the minute the rebound was secured and AB got the ball. He walked up the court and had his hands in the air for a few secs but when AB refused he finally 'stayed within the offense.' The last thing he did was twirl his hands in the air that people had to rotate / move or whatever but nobody reacted. He probably wanted to take it upon himself (again). Glad that AB did what the coach asked of him - If it wasn't called I'm also a bit worried because especially with a 2nd year guy like AB in a clutch situation like that to call for a play just in case, as insurance in case the motion offense (take what the defense gives you) doesn't work. Also the Rockets should really send a tape with all the hacking players got away with on Yao, the moving screens that were set by mainly Nowitzki, the blocking fouls / no calls that should've been charges and the flopping of Josh Howard. If we get treated like this in a playoff time game at home, how bad will it be on the road ? Very worrisome and this game was definetly officiated in favor of the Mavs, it's not even close.
Wouldn't worry too much about it. IMO it's good that Artest wanted to take the big shot or make the big play. Artest is playing for a contract and playing selfishly isn't going to get him what he wants...since one of his knocks has been that he's a ball-stopper. He's here to prove that he can play within a team and be a good player and not a head case. I've seen times Kobe call for the ball, and didn't get it but his teammate made a good play and he was happy. So as long as Artest is happy about it. But lol did anyone notice AB after the 2nd three that he highfived everyone and goes right past Lowry? Probably nothing, AB seems like a cool dude and probably just didn't see Lowry. You look at Dirk on the other end, he had Brooks on him and DIDN'T demand the ball
