ClutchFans Game Thread: Warriors @ Rockets 1/29/2008

Should be a fun game to watch.

 

Utah was the game the Rockets had a better shot at. Now they're really in a tight spot.

 

Hope Yao will be better but everybody has to get to back to the game they played when McGrady was out. Start Scola at PF and please keep the motion offense in place, no McGrady iso ****ty plays.

I predict the beginning of a losing streak though sorry

 

Yao back, team wins...

105-99

 

i'm afraid that we'll see threads..Warriors own the Rox..

 

Tough matchup. Hoping for a W but their guards are athletic and can shoot light out on any given night. Can't see us winning with the leaving the 3pt man open and porous defense. Next game please!!

 

i dont expect the warriors to shoot the lights out like last time, but we'll see....

 

Keys for the game:
1. Keep Away the Warriors from the 3s.
2. Making the Free Throws!!!!!
3. Role players should contribute!!!
4. Make fast break points.

Starting line-up should be:
PG- Rafer Alston
SG- Tracy McGrady
SF- Shane Battier
PF- Luis Scola
C- Yao Ming

Hayes shouldnt start anyymore!!!

Things that should stay the same as last game:
Battier beign hot!!!
The first three quarters of defense
T-Mac getting some of his mid-range shots.

Things that should change from the last game:
1. Yao not playing.
2. T-Mac shooting a lot of three s.
3. Alston making turnovers.
4. Not playing Bonzi a lot.
5. Missing free throws.
6. Horrible offense.
7. Hayes starting

Key player for the Rockets: (role player)

Aaron Brooks is the key player. With the Warriors playing fast basket-ball, Brooks could be a key player. He should hit great three s and make fast plays. KEEP AN EYE ON HIM!!!

Player that the Rockets should take care of:

Not doubt about it, Monta Ellis is the player that the Rokcets should take care of. Last three games, look what he scored, 28, 39, 24 and before that, he was also very hot. That player is right now playing one of his best basket-ball. Rockets should do something about him.

Match Importance;
Very important. The Rockets should win this one. If they lose that one, then, it s going to be very hard for them to make the playoffs. They have to give everything they have. They are at home and I know they dont match well the Warriors but they have to win that one.

Crowd:
The crowd should be very loud and loud crow get the Rockets more energy. Last game, the crowd was disappointing.

Yao Ming please play, we need you. Hope that you are now okay.

I am really excited about this game but I am also scared that we lose that game. Really looking foward to that game.

Prediction:
A win, the Rockets will give everthing the have.

 

Ladies' Night!!!

 

if nobody protect the paint, it will only take Monta Ellis 3 sec to bring the ball upcourt for a layup. Just watch how Monta Ellis finish around the rim, could any Rockets guards (except T-Mac) do that?

 

I see it being close with B. Davis killing us down the stretch, because of our inability to stop anyone in the 4th quarter......

 

They have 3 guards that are nearly impossible to stop. Ellis Monta, Baron Davis, and Stephen Jackson. Ouch.

Now they are getting stellar performances from Beidrins in both rebounding and scoring. Add Chris Webber to the mix and now Houston we have a problem.

I watched GS torch the Suns last year. They put in 5 guards and it looked more like a ping pong game the way the balls were flying. Within the first 5 minutes, the Suns were buried.

 

bounce back win!!!
103-88

 

Rockets need a win over this team......I hope Yao is back.

 

In last nite's game Warriors vs Knicks, both Nate Robinson & Monta Ellis were able to just take the ball and run down court for a layup in 3 sec. Anyone who want to stop them ended up with a foul. Is there any guard in the Rockets ready for this kind of 3 sec layup match?

 

^^^of course...............Rafer........

 

Oh boy.....Rafer against Davis...hide the women and children...extreme abuse...not even fair....Morey you should watch every horrifying minute of this....no going to the restroom, foodcourt, or lottering in the lobby...FEEL our pain.

 

Brooks did a semi good job on holding williams off in jazz's game. I just don't think Brooks has the muscle to hold baron out of his moves. someone need to take alston out, he will be killed by baron.

We need better defender on Yao's week side. their speed will be our biggest problem and harrington's 3s. he is going to front Yao like no tomorrow.

 

We need this one. I'd say more than the Jazz game. They're really been dominating us the last several games. 2/3 in this stretch would not be bad at all.
