    Maybe I shouldn't start a thread when I am so pissseddd off... :mad:

    But I can't help it. Where is the killer instinct on this team? Where is the fire? Where is the Mario Elie take no prisoners attitude? Where is the Sam Cassell fearlessness?

    We had this game. We had it down to one point late in the fourth quarter on the Jazz's homecourt and instead of getting the killer instinct we play timid and the Jazz come up hard! :mad:

    I'm pissed off right now but the Rox better get that Mario Elie spine in game 7 or its time to hit the links. :mad:

    Forget clutch city - it's not the same as the Rockets early this season. Our "big two" are not making good decisions in the clutch, even though they've been reliable in tht in the past. It's like somebody is putting stupid pills in their gatorade.

    Dude,
    Stop forgetting Maxwell!!
    Maxwell would at least get a technical foul or yell at Tmac and Yao for being wimps!

    No, ClutchCity had heart, and was tough, and didn't wilt away

    The 95 Rox had a 2-0 lead on the Spurs but let them win 2 in houston to ties it up. Of course the Rockets went on to win the series.

    The 94 Rox blew BIG lead in games 1 and 2 against the Suns and after winning 3 in a row lt the Suns win in game 6 to push the series the 7 games. Of course the Rockets went on to win the series.

    The point is the journey that is known as a "championship run" is not always pretty. We'll see how it goes on Saturday.

    This is just a test. A good test early here in the playoffs. Can we take care of our business at home against a good team? Big test for Tmac and Yao.

    It'd be nice if Tracy and Yao can get some help from the other guys on the court too...

    game seven will help determine what our team is made of. unfortunetely our two stars have had a habit of dissapearing in the past....

    The jazz just seem to have better poise and have a great chance of stealing game seven unless yao and mcgrady can come up with stellar performances

    the next closest thing to MAX is Stephen Jackson.

    Jackson on the refs "Do I have MORON written on my head?"

    hahahaha

    Maybe JVG should allow Mario Elie and Clyde talk to team before game 7 and remind them what ClutchCity is all about and how they are to play for leagacy.

    Have you seen our roster? We've got a pile of trash alongside 2 marginal superstars who are soft as sh*t. This is what happens when you fail at the draft year in, year out. Squandering picks and doing bad trades clearly hurts a team, as in our case. There are so many holes on the roster, it's ridiculous.

    Take a look at the '94 Rockets -> they would've swept this team. Dream would've made Yao his b****, and Elie/Max would have put T-Mac in his place. Cassell and Kenny would have their way with Rafer/Head, and Horry would've schooled them too.

    Is Rox better than Mavs NOW? i d't think so.

    NOW in the 3rd quarter(game 6) Warriors leads Mavs 23pts and it seems playoffs should say bye to the present "best" team, what is worse for Rox or Mavs?

    We r still alive, save those negative and blaming posts now, there r too many of them here.
