ClutchFans Game Thread: Pacers @ Rockets 12/23/2003

JO was schooled by KG in the last game. He's going to come out strong and angry.......and gets schooled by Yao and Cato again.

 

players will step it up alittle but only because they lost to suns, and pull through. AFter every bad game, it seems they win one back but it stops after that.

Rockets win by 8.

 

I hope we win this one. The last loss was a sad one. The game was going well and then the Rockets blew it in the 4th.

Cato has been RED HOT lately. I hope he keeps it up.

I can't see this game, but the one on christmas day I can. They are carrying it on my ESPN channel in Saudi Arabia!!!

 

Thanks for the info uprising.

Ill let my little brother know of this, he is a die hard fan of the rockets, but had to move to Saudi Arabia with the rest of my family two years ago. And the most wierd part is that his fav. player is the Cat. O yea can you tell me what city this is in, or if its for the whole country in general. because he lives in riyadh, so i hope he gets it.

 

was presently surprised against new orleans and detroit, but...

... teams with killer power forwards give'em problems.

indy 92
hou 83

 

wow, I noticed u really don't like Yao.....hey it's all good, that's your right

 

Adeel, I live in Daharan. It is on ESPN on Orbit. If he has an Orbit Subscription (satelite) it will be played live along with the Mavs game. They will also show it a number of times through out the day (in more convenient times, like prime time). Does your brother suscribe to ORBIT? If he doesn't I am sure he has friends who do, like 90% of expats have it.

 

"Rockets summary

Sick call

Steve Francis and Cuttino Mobley are questionable for tonight's game with the Pacers after missing Monday's practice. Coach Jeff Van Gundy said the players told him they were sick.

Van Gundy said he did not know if they would be well enough to play tonight. But if they are healthy, he said they would start.

They are the most recent players in the past month who have gotten sick. Only a few weeks ago, Jim Jackson and John Amaechi missed practice and a game because of the flu. "


If so, we may have a game of 40s

 

What is the source/link/date of this information????
Just weird because according to this: http://www.news24houston.com/content/top_stories/default.asp?ArID=20943
Francis and some kids had a party at the Toyota center (12/22 ??). So if he is sick, he went to meet all these kids and get them sick too?

Im going, I bought $10 seats. Im only going to check out where I want to sit for my Comets Season tickets.

 

1) We are 8-1 against Eastern Conference and beat all elite Eastern teams Detroit, New Orleans and New Jersey.

2) We are 9-2 when playing at home.

Rockets win 91-88.

 

Rox win please please please

 

That is our record this year?

 

Of course. We dominate the Eastern teams but being outplayed by the Western teams.

 

This is the only game we can stop a losing streak. I don't think Rox can beat LA.

 

WIN!
GO ROX!! GO!!

 

The Houston Chronicle is reporting that possibly both Steve and Cat are out for tonight's game.

I'd rather see Mobley sit. Anyone can take Reggie at this point in his career.

 

Are you sure? Reggie scored 31 points against Allan Houston this season. I can't see Moochie and Pike is as good as him at least.

-Security check-

Fans should anticipate arriving at Toyota Center early tonight if they want to see the 7:30 tipoff. Because of the raised terror alert level by the Department of Homeland Security, the NBA has mandated that all fans be screened by a metal detector hand wand prior to entering the league's arenas.

Toyota Center will institute the increased security measures tonight, and fans are warned there might be delays.

-Meet the parents-

Bostjan Nachbar has spent the past couple days catching up with his parents, who arrived in Houston from Slovenia on Sunday.

Vlado and Maria Nachbar are spending almost a month at their son's house and will split their time between attending Bostjan's Rockets games and his brother Grega's games at the University of Houston.

"It's great," Bostjan said. "It's one thing when you talk to them on the phone and they're on the other side of the planet. But when they come, it's real nice. It's going to mean a lot to me and my brother that they are going to be at our games."

Grega is a walk-on freshman who has yet to see any action with the Cougars. The NCAA ruled that he had to sit out the first eight games because of his club experience in Europe. He will be eligible for his first game Dec. 30 against LSU.

"He's very excited," Bostjan said of his younger brother. "That's all he talks about."

 

That game will be played without Malone, we may have a chance.
