GT: Playoffs 2007 - 1st Round - Rockets vs. Jazz G7

Thats what I was wondering... there was what 7 secs left? Williams could hold the ball the rest of the time and not advance past half if he wanted to. WOW nice call JVG.

 

Damn man, how do you not foul in that situation.. Feel terrible for Tmac

I don't, since he was one of the two idiots just standing there.

 

well it all over for the rockets, i hope jvg is gone and you guys pick up a decent coach and another good player. i think you guys need a better pg and a better PF, then you would be able to contend for the title

Obviously JVG told them not to. Why else wouldnt they foul?

That's messed.

 

Well in the end the better team won, and you just have to give it to the Jazz. They were resilient as hell and when it looked like Houston took control with a 6-point lead, the Jazz came back to tie it and lead. Whenever the Rockets came back, Utah was able to storm on and maintain a reachable margin. Tracy was too passive, even in the end. I guess he lacks the killer instinct still but in this game I thought he did all he could. Stumbled up a few times but leading the comeback in itself was amazing. I don't know what the team was doing not fouling but you can't really fault them. We simply couldn't stop Boozer this game and he made us play.

Congrats to Utah, and once Houston gains one more piece this summer I think we can reach the next level.

 

Which coach would tell his players not to foul if there is only eight seconds left after they already have not gotten the steal.

My thoughts exactly. I think that T-Mac and Battier had brain farts.

Well it's common sense. I remember in the closing seconds Jason Kidd was shooting a free throw, and Coach Frank told him to make it. He did the opposite by missing it on purpose, so the opponent had no chance at a shot. Nets won.


I'm sorry, but Mac should have fouled.

 

I guess Battier and TMac just thought they could force the pass or that the other would foul, and the miscommunication just caused the game.

There was less than 8 secs left, Williams could hold the ball for the rest of the game!

And if he had held it to 6 seconds left, one of them would have fouled. You just can't start pointing fingers on one play when plenty others caused us the loss. The absence of that foul stands out but there's no one you can blame until we know why that happened.

Im not saying that was the main cause in the loss, but I was just frustrated with the outcome. Honestly at the end, I dont even think AK got touched, so the game would have been over.

 

the refs did all they could to help the rockets get back or win....but fkin jvg's play is what killed them.

tmac soo diappointed n tears shed in the live conference..ouch it must hv hurt

Was it on NBA.com?

 

ya it was......he had to most 'sigh' in a conversation ever.......

 

must be tough for him to cover up for jvg for the public....he said jvg was the best person ..best coach he ever had...best individual...he wouldn't comment on firing jvg and said he would leave it for the management...but he wanted him back....

this HAS to be fake...it just has to be....

 

I feel bad for T-Mac..
