No, it is not. It doesn't matter if you got 20+ in the first 3 quarters, if you miss your last 4 or 5 shots, it is a choke job because you didn't deliver when it matters the most,
No it wasn't about the 3.... But you're Tmac and you have a Center guarding you...the LAST thing you want to do is fade away for a 3 pointer. When he caught the ball he should have drove past Dalembert Once he caught it(he had about 3 secs when he caught it.) and Dalembert prbly would have fouled him or he would have had a nice floater or better shot than that. Also if he drives to the Rim, Dalembert has to go back and Tmac could have pulled up for a two...he's a Center on Tracy...Tracy takes ALL the ADVANTAGE if he just drives to the rim.
Would everyone really be this angry if the last shot had went it? I tend to look at the positive - Tmac scored 24 - and he DUNKED! I haven't seen that for a while. How come no one has said a thing about that? Yes, we got beat, but we are still contenders and anything can happen. So much negativity ... we aren't the OKC Thunder.
Exactly!! That's why I think we need someone like Maggette on this team. He knows how to get to the free throw line which is missing on this team.
<br> 1. Rick Adelman 2. Rafer Alston 3. There is no need of Ron Artest <br> Fire Rick we can't really do anything with Alston, so just keep living with him trade Artest for whatever, and give his minutes to Wafer
QUOTE=badgerfan Yao should never have gone out to set the pick. Wasn't anyone listening to Clyde? Get the ball to Yao as soon as possible, wait for the double team, shoot the open shot.
Oh man, I would love to have him, he is like a MUCH better Von Wafer..... Artest and Luther gets him.......why not? Screw 2010. DD
Dude, I know Battier is you personal scapgoat, but if you watched the game without your Dead Horse Goggles on you would noticed that he played great defense. He was all over the court. He forced the Sixers into tossing a lot of wild shots and some of them went in, or they got long rebounds. If you want to blame him for the loss, fine, but it's like blaming poor service at the bar for causing the Titanic to sink.
<br> The percentages are skewed because JVG had the one season with Francis, plus the injury season..
I think I liked this team more when Artest and McGrady were out...they played with more energy, they moved the ball, they developed some chemistry together....and most importantly, they actually won. Not that I'm blaming them for the loss tonight... but geez, that Rockets team that I saw the past few weeks was pretty beautiful to watch...this team now....bleh.
Battier made 2 bone headed mistakes that were crucial in preventing the lead from being cut. Yao was just messing up. Warriors here we come.
I hope people start bringing tons of "WE WANT DEKE" signs to the stadium if just to annoy the hell out of Adelman.
I got $50 million reasons and a history of hamstring pulls why you don't want him here. That's just an incredibly bad idea. Just play Von Wafer.
What? He made TWO clutch shots in the closing moment of the game, against referees I might add. Sure, he missed FT and generally played bad tonight, but who else hit a shot when they got behind? Oh, and did you notice how the defense collapsed when he was out of the lineup?
Yao played very poorly in the first 3 Qs, but I think he's pretty clutch in the 4th. However, if Yao played better in the first 3Qs, the results could be different.
Wafer is not nearly the player Magette is....I would roll the dice on that deal, and his weak hamstrings. DD
Good call. I just don't get why this team can't get it going. I hope Morey gets something by trading deadline to help this team. Right now the team is heading in the wrong direction in standings. Down to 6th place and counting.
