ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Mavericks 1/12/2005

yeah i thought JVG did a good job coaching and making sure our guys were in the game.

Barry played well so did Dikembe and Barrett and Bowen.

Awesome game. Maybe the best game of the season. Really great man Sura, Wesley, Tmac, Howard, and Yao. Niceeeee Bill's likin it

I hope we can keep this up.

Yao 25? Tmac 30? Sura 15, Wesley 15, Howard 15. We can do it. Go Rockets!!! I think that we can be really good. Of course Dallas has no D. We played excellent defense.

 

HA!!!! Rockets move into 7th playoff spot!!! Minnesota loses again.

 

Finally I feel free to say that Dallas sucks A$$!!!
Go Rockets!

 

great win!!!

I cant believe that we can beat Mavs at 124:114! keep going on!

go!go!go!

 

Go Rockets !!!

 

Holy crap, we are at 7th place!

Barry's great stat sheet:

J. Barry 22 1-2 0-1 2-2 /4pts (on two shots) 4 reb's 2 steals 0 TOs. GREAT line.

 

It was great to see Tmac showing some vocal leadership on the court; it was like 'I'm not going to settle for mediocrity anymore.' It was also nice to see Tmac chew out Dike for droping that wide open pass right under the rim; now I want to see Tmac do that to Yao for playing average a lot of nights (even though Yao played good tonight).

 

dallas sucks!

 

WOOOOHOOO! We're undefeated since I got my new recliner to sit and watch the games! Ok, so I just got it yesterday.

GREAT win! Seriously, did we swap teams with Phoenix? LOL! Energy, hustle, ball movement, shooting, it all came together for once and shows that the team has started to really come together, find an identity, and, dare I say, gel.

They said that they were turning a corner, but I won't come to that kind of conclusion until after tomorrow night's game. That will be the REAL test. Laugh all you want, but this team has not played well against lesser teams.

I VERY beatable team, at home, on the second game of a back-to-back; if they put together this type of game tomorrow for a win then I'll punch my playoff ticket.

 

Now, the turning the corner talk has credibility. I was impressed and surprised. Give it up for Howard! His best game of the year. TMac is half man and half amazing. Wow. Ming did well. Solid games by Wesley, Barry, Mutombo, everyone. Great team effort. I loved it. The Rockets picked and rolled the Mavs out of the gym.

 

FYI- we have averaged over 100 pts over the last 13 games...

JVG is an offensive genius!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

The heck with his stats, the guy is a smart, smart player. I really enjoy watching the guy play, and even if he isn't shooting, his passes and defense are great.

 

We're gonna need a bigger wagon. : )

 

Brilliant team work. Howard was great tonight. T-Mac did a fine job without getting to the line but he needs to make more free throws onwards more often. Today he got the support from the frontline and also from our backcourt.
I hope he will be well for the next game.
If we could get a good player for the TE I feel our chances of winning could increase considerably.

 

Wow.

 

Now thats what I'm talking about!!! Now lets beat a team we should beat the NETS. Props to Juwan.

 

Good point I wonder who we could get.

 

Did they show the Van Gundy & Juwan Howard confrontation?

I just got back from the game, and was not sure if the TV crews showed the sideline after Howard missed that dunk (layout) or whatever?. Van Gundy was yelling at him, as we returned to the bench, and Howard was yelling back. The Trainer had to come in and push Howard out of Van Gundys face. Man, were emotions high tonight.

GREAT GAME, I nearly had beer thrown on me for cheering for the Rockets all night.

 

There lies the problem unfortunately. We don't have more than the TE and a possible 2nd round pick to intice anyone. It's hard to get a good role player who is young but I'm sure the team is looking around to add to the roster.
