ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Wizards 3/9/2010

I admire your optimism.

 

I know that most of you have thrown in the towel, but I'm still hoping for the playoffs until the math says that it's impossible.

The Spurs didn't win in Cleveland, and Tony Parker is out for 6 weeks. I see problems.

The Thunder have a tough final schedule.

The Blazers flip-flop.


20 games left, and while i know our guys haven't done well, we still have a chance.

 

I don't know whether to root for the win or not.

 

Andray Blatche is going to be interesting to watch.

 

Plus, Cleveland was playing with out LeBron or A. Parker. Even with Ginobili's 38 point outburst, they still managed to lose. Ginobili aint gonna have those type of numbers on a consistent basis.

The Thunder are gonna make the playoffs just because of their athleticism. The only achilles heel for them is they don't have a true big man or low post scorer. They play inconsistent defense also.

The Blazers are cursed I pray Camby is out for at least a few more weeks, if not more. They can't rely on Roy to do everything for them and Aldrige is too soft.

I can see us moving past either the Spurs or Blazers but not the Thunder.

 

Once we get Ariza and Lowry back we'll be streaking like Frank the Tank.

 

Hopefully a win

 

We can do nothing but hope.

 

Yup. I don't know whether to root for a top draft pick or a victory which at this point of the season seems to be fairly meaningless.

I'd like to see more Jordan Hill. I'd like to see more CBud.

 

Who cares if we win? We can't make the playoff anyway. I just wanna see more Jordan Hill's action!

 

is lowry coming back?

 

Earl Boykins, finally someone that's smaller than Aaron! I'm excited about that matchup.

Blatche and McGee worry me, but Adelman better play Hill more!

BTW? Whats the update on Lowry and Ariza?

 

its been over imo.

 

They say Ariza is probable, so we have a better chance to win this game now.

We seriously need a win. We've ****ed up twice on what was supposed to be a winning streak. Once more, and we may have to call it over for a playoff run, if you haven't done so already.

 

Pulled this off an Astros blog:

"Michael Lewis asked Daryl Morey whether or not the Rockets utilized "clutch" stats. Morey answered this way:

"

Just found that interesting.

 

I would like to watch Lowry-Martin combo playing.

 

20 games left...it's not over. :grin:


But the Rockets HAVE to win this one. No Gilbert, No Caron, No Antawn...just shut down Nick Young and Blatche.


32-31 here we come.


Rockets by 7.

 

We should give the Wizards a good game. Like the Pistons, they are a better team than the Rockets, but we should be able to at least keep it close.

 

"(Lowry) is questionable to play tonight against the Wizards with Trevor Ariza upgraded to probable"

I believe Lowry will give us a spark.
