ClutchFans Game Thread: Sixers @ Rockets 1/29/2007

hopefully shane will b able 2 shut down AI

 

Yeah I bet Iverson's really gonna kill us!!!

 

Well, I'd say the strategy is to let the imaginary AI to do whatever he wants without any need to guard him

 

99-89 Sixers

 

I think he means Andre Iguodala.He's been playing really good since the Iversons trade.

Anyway,Rockets will win this one,99-69.

 

This game is perfect for a line-up of

Battier @ 4
Wells @ 3
T-Mac @ 2


Hunter is a poor rebounder. Physically weak. His only skills are athleticism and shotblocking. Meaning, Battier can hold him to nothing, and on the other hand, will draw him out of the paint with 3-pt shooting.

Which gives Bonzi the chance to operate inside against Korver, Willie Green or Iguodala, all of whom won't be able to handle him in the post.

T-Mac is T-Mac. It doesn't matter when or who he plays, only he can stop himself. I'd like to see Iguodala try though.

Those should be our top 3 scoring options for this game. Alston, as always, just needs to practice consistently good shot selection. Deke will go to war with Dalembert, who has been playing well. As long as he doesn't blow up for 30pts, it won't be a factor anyway.

My biggest fear is that Dalembert goes off, Miller gets his, and Korver lights it up from 3-pt range.

Rockets 101
Sixers 91

 

FYI- This game is set to be on FSN HD tomorrow night-

http://msn.foxsports.com/name/HD#FSSouthwest

finally they utilize the channel for a Rockets game- Here in Austin its on Time Warner Cable channel 1639.

 

The next two Monday games are in HD...SUUUUWWWEAAAT !!

DD

 

ok, somebody please tell me just what the hell that means!!

I see it everywhere, and it gives me the ****s.

so what does it mean?? I mean obviously its a reference to "owned" but why the p?

Ok, with that off my chest, the Rockets win this game, but dont expect it to be all our way. Sixers are playing tough and together and with renewed spirits.

Rockets 98
Sixers 87

 

One of the things I love about this team is how professional they are. Bad team, good team, it doesn't matter. They always come prepared, and if they lose, it's never for lack of effort. It starts from the veterans - Deke, Howard and Battier. Even Rafer plays hard and is always competing even when his shot isn't going down. That's why I'm not worried about bottom feeders like the Sixers. The Blazers came in last time looking for an upset (they had strung together some nice wins lately). We took it to them anyway, and handed them a horrible beatdown.

That's why we have one of the best average point differentials in the league ... which according to the great John Hollinger is a good predictor of future success.

I think Rockets (Tmac) will come out strong tomorrow from the first quarter
cuz of the portland game what happened in third quarter in that game wont happen all the time and I believe Rox understand that so they'll start of strong.

I just wanna see bonzi get more minutes to see how much he has improved and plus more minutes will boost his confidence/energy.

 

HAHAHAHHAHA

 

Yep we're good.

The only way to guard T-Mac is hope he has an off night.

Denying him the ball and doubling him when he gets it may work now while he's coasting, but come playoff time, he's going to be unstoppable.

Right now you can get by doubling him, but if his teamates are hitting, he'll find them. Or you can try denying him the ball, but if you force the issue, he'll find a way to get the ball.

He gets so from from the ground and so seperated on his jumpers that usually the hand you try to put in his face won't work, you'll foul him and it won't be hard enough to really change the shot so he might make it at that. You can only hope he misses.

So yeah good luck 76ers, we hardly knew ye.

 

thankyou for posting that, I should of thought to check trusty ol' wikipedia!!

Having said that, I feel about 3/10's dumber for reading that.

silly internet gaming nerds

 

A blowout win, absolutely.
100-70 Rox win.

 

Battier = 4
Bonzi/Synder = 3
T-mac/Head = 2

This will equal blowout win

J.ho will also have a big night, for some reason.. otherwise we'll lose?

 

True. This is a very different team from years past when it comes to how they approach mediocre competition. They take every game and opponent seriously. It's a big reason they're 14-5 at home. Maybe it's due to their injury problems. With Yao and T-Mac both missing significant time, they're in no position to take any game lightly.

With regards to the HD broadcasts, why do they have to be on Monday, the one night I have class?! Oh well, at least I'll be home in time for the 4th quarter.

 

Does anyone know if Dish Network has FSN HD?
