ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Grizzlies 11/7/2006

WIN by 3 points

 

hopefully, the Gay-Battier comparisons can be put to rest.

 

This should be an interesting game, if for nothing else than Battier and Bonzi playing together on a team against the Griz!

The thing I would like to see in this game, better rotation of players off the bench. In Sunday's game there were times I could tell players needed to come out for a break and JVG just left them in to struggle.

On a team with this much depth, the rotation of players in and out can and should definately be a key to winning

 

Are we only a home team? we win by 31 against our toughest opponent so far at home, and are 0-2 on the road.....and looked like crap in those games.

Here's to winning our first on the road. GO ROCKETS.

 

rockets win..
but i forsee a really really nasty facial on battier by gay... i just have a feeling gay is going to rip the rim off and posterize battier

 

hmm just saw my own post.. "nasty", "facial" and "gay" doesnt sound quite right in the same sentence.. hehe okay i have sick mind..

 

with pau gasol being out for awhile, does anyone know if the memphis offense is being centered around rudy gay? if so, this will be a very interesting game. this would be one of those occasions where shane's defensive prowess against quicker, "small" 4s would be tested.

 

95 - 87

Yao 28 pt,9r eb
Tmac 36 pt,8 reb,4 asst

Rox W!

 

I do not expect T-Mac recover so quick, the problem T-MAc has can not be solved in one or two game.

 

Stromile Swift has a monster game by dunking on Yao and swatting shots, and making us all regret trading him. Or maybe not. Rockets win 101-95!

 

Rox: 90

Griz: 85

Without Pao, c'mon...

 

Rockets win (2-2)

Important that Yao wont get so many early fouls and that the bench will do their part.
Rudy Gay will be coming of the bench and have a real silent night and my last words are Defend Warrick ( cause he's not in my fantasy team and he could go off )

 

Rockets 107-102
Yao- 28pts 11rbs
Tmac-25pts

 

Rockets win and show what the team is like when everything is running.
Scoring high, defending great, low TO and most of all playing like an unit.

 

I will be at this game. YAY!

 

Boy someone else like me who thinks he knows better than VG. I was waiting for VG to put Vspan in on Chris Paul and get in his face and rattle the little sob a bit.

For some reason other teams use this tactic of rattling players like Rafer and Franchise with in your face defense or double teams. VG just seems to want to rely on the game plan - prevent defense - he never seems to blitz. The Marty Shottenheimer of the NBA. The only thing the prevent defense ever prevented on MS's teams was victory.

 

Rockets 101
Grizzlies 93

Yao scores 36 pts again

 

Take it ez on us.

 

The official trade evaluation game:
Battier vs Gay
Bonzi vs Swift

 

Yao with 25 and 14, Tmac has a perfect shooting game.

Or we'll lose.
