ClutchFans Game Thread: Grizzlies @ Rockets 4/13/2005

Calling "f*****" to a board member is not allowed but calling it to a NBA player is allowed?
OK,I didn't know that.
But you can't break the rules even you don't them,so if it's a ban,it's a ban.
Good bye.

 

It would be great to grab Miller, but it's just not going to happen. We just don't have the players to grab him. He's actually more like 6-8. He signed a 6 year 48 million deal if I recall.

 

I think you're being a little modest now. It was no-look, off the backboard, bounce off Gasol's fugly face, reverse 840 spin catches in mid-air, to himself drains the triple, nothing but net. Yeah, I guess that's pretty 'simple.'

 

Did anybody check out the T-MAC interview on NBA TV? He was really poised and made a lot of nice comments. He said he respects Yao so much because even though Tracy has pressure to perform, Yao's pressure is so much bigger because of his background. He also said that JVG has been good to him and the coaching staff is really good. They asked him if he thought we could advance in the playoffs and he said that if we play together as we know we can, we can be a great team.

 

Actually, I'm a slow typer.

It's all good; we're just having a little fun. I hope you make the playoffs, good luck.

 

McGrady was very upset when Miller was traded away from Orlando, they were best friends.

I think T-Mac would love for that to happen. And it would be a great pick up for the Rocks, although I am not so sure of his salary or when he would be a free agent, etc.

 

THE WORST FREAKING CROWD EVER!!!!

I just came back from the game....I cant even believe how horrible the fans are. Crunch time and 90% are sitting on their a$$e$ talking about BS crap. I tried to rally my section to get up in the 4th quarter....they just sat back and barely clapped. You see game Vs the Suns, Spurs, Dallas, Sacramento, & Sonics...their fans get into it...are loud and they cheer through 4 quarters!!! Rockets fans just sit on their A$$es...Its like we dont deserve a team. I will be there on Saturday night. I hope the fans do something this time. I also got my playoff tickets and I am ready to go!!!

 

Last I check, they wore same color uniform and played for the same team today.

 

nice observation.










Hey MemphisX where art thou?

 

LOL

 

People keep saying that it's going to change for the playoffs, but I don't know man. I mean this as close to the postseason as you can get, and it's not like there were 12000 people. I mean it was sold out. It's kind of like an NBA team, you cant flip the switch and become a great team all of sudden. Same for the crowd. They can't become something they're not and this Rockets crowd is the quitest and most disinterested bunch I've experienced. It makes Orlando fans look crazy by comparison (even though 70 year old go to Magic games)

 

Anybody know if there are going to be any highlight videos? I live all the way in Guatemala, but originally from houston and the only highlights or footage of the rockets I get to see are the ones that you guys post. Its sux down here.. all day long nothing but soccer... soccer.. and soccer...

 

MemphisX come out and plaaaaaaaaay!

 

It's a team effort, basketball is fun to watch again with Tmac & Yao in the game.

 

Yeah, didn't his sig proclaim that Memphis will have a better record than the Houston?

 

Well, I switched over to ESPN for the Sonics-Mavs game, and heard an unbelievable praise from the guys calling the game (Bill Walton and Musburger, or whatever his name is)...

Mus was saying that he has "never ever seen a player who can shoot it and score it like McGrady, he just puts it up from all over the place." Bill Walton then followed that up by saying, "It McGrady was playing like this before January, he would have been hand-down in the race for MVP."

They said more than that, but I can't remember now, may be someone else heard it and can write a more accurate quote of what they exactly said.

But, WOW! I guess many people hate Mus, but he was overly gracious in those comments (He basically called T-Mac the greatest player he's ever seen!)

 

You ought to yell at these guys or something. Tell them don't waste money coming here and not supporting the team and just watch.

 

Yeah i just checked out Patricia's FA Sheet and it says that Miller signed an extenstion in 2003 for 6/48 Mil. His rookie contracted ended in 2004 so his contract extension won't run out until 2010.

I think at 8 Million/yr for another 5 seasons, he's definitely worth it. After Yao signs his Max contract, we'll have our core set. Miller/McGrady/Ming will all be in their primes for the next 5 years.

The 3 M's. I can already see the nicknames starting. CD get it done man, I think it would be a great move.

Sura / James
Miller / Wesley
McGrady / Draft Pick
Howard / Baker / Spoon (both trade assets)
Ming / Mutombo

 

i saw that as well and musberger said he thought the rockets could very well be a contender in the playoffs which surprised me because it came out of nowhere

 

I think this deserves to be reposted
