ClutchFans Game Thread: Wizards @ Rockets 2/15/2005

Rockets 124 Wizards 76

 

Gilbert Arenas has taken his game on another level. I think that he's as good an all-around player as Steve Francis right now. Jamison is still Jamison, a good-scoring tweener. Put a body on him and challenge his shot. He may still get 20+ points but he won't be the deciding factor for this game. Haywood has had a very good season for Washington, but you know that he's not going to try to front Yao. And Hayes can not contain TMac period.

I think that the Rockets matchup well with this Washington team, and we catch them on the second night of back-to-back games. If we don't go into a funk like we did last night we should be able to beat them and continue our winning streak.

 

I predicted an L here, but now I realized Wiz on a back to back. I still think an L, but it'll be close and high. (Wiz done decently on 2nd nights surprisingly)

Wash 106
Hous 102

 

Rox crush the Wizz

Yao dominates both ends of the court.

Yao 32pts/18rebs/14blks
Tmac 39pts/10rebs/10assists/8stls

WBPS continues there hot shooting and we win in a blow out.

No matter what, streak ends 2/23 (road back to back against SA)...

Still Rox keep it going til then, 94-87.

T-Mac with first triple-double of the season...

 

Streak keeps going. We should reach ten straight at least.

I don't care how good the other team is, as long as we have both Yao and TMac, we are going to keep winning.

Rockets 102
Wiz 96

 

TMAc is due for a huge game. Mark him for 36, Rox control game throughout. We win 105-91.

 

Another crucial, must-win game before our schedule gets really hard. Who's gonna check Antawn Jamison? that is the question. Is JHO up to the task? These guys are a lot better than Portland. Hopefully we'll play hard for all four quarters. Statistically, we're pretty close to the Wizards, but we're just heating up while they're cooling down. Also we're playing at home.
Rockets 100, Wiz 99.

well the wiz on back to backs, and the first game of those being the hornets

safe to say, the wizard's won't be too fatigued after the hornets game lol

although I predict we still win

Tmac finally breaks out of his slump and the rockets win

95-87

 

This is the first real challenge the Rox have this month. So far it has been injury depleted or out of form teams. The Wiz are a good team and in form. T-Mac needs to get his 3pt shot back and Rox need to win this cause they certainly won't get lucky against Washington.

 

Rox will play a lackluster first half. They will try to come from behind, but the Wiz will put them away in the final seconds.

 

I believe you may be right Relativist.

 

New Orleans doing well so far in occupying Washington.

 

Is there anyone that lives on the south side of Houston that will be going to the game tomorrow that I could get a ride with? I just moved to town and badly want to go, but the taxi fare there and back is too much, and I dont yet have a car. If so, I would pay some gas, or whatever.... I live on Richmond, by the SuperWalmart. If so, reply in this thread or my email is jonroddam@hotmail.com. Thx a lot.

 

I am watching the Washington vs NO game. Nachbar played great. I hope we kept him.

 

He is a fouling machine. The Rox are much better off with Wesley.

 

if tmac continues to play like shooting below 40%, rox will end the steak. rox might have spent too much luck in 3 or 4 games in the last 7, and maybe they should pay it back in this one.

anyway, i hope it's the 8th win!

 

If Wizards can't win in New Orleans, how could they win in Houston? They don't have a center who can stop Yao, I say Rockets win by 9.

 

Washinton is one of the teams who do not play defence at all. I expect T-mac get 40 points again and to balance his last 4 low score gams
