ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Cavaliers 3/5/2007

Well, I just hope Yao Ming's parent and girl friend Ye Li will come, rave and support Yao Ming on this big night of his return.

And even though he won't be playing big minutes.....maybe 15 ~ 20 minutes or so.

But given Ye Li's presence, he will be motivated and ends up a night with 15 points/10 rebounds/2 assists/2 blocks..............mediocre performance per Yao Ming's standard.

 

OOPPSS !!! Sorry, I messed up, thinking this game will be played in Toyota Centre.

Given the Yaos are not spendthrifts......the chances for them travelling to Cleveland to be with Yao Ming is close to ZERO !!!

 

10 weeks without the power center , no everything is over , go Yao , go Rocket !!

 

TMac makes LeBron his blowup doll and scores 35 on him. Yao comes back and gets a modest 15 in 25 minutes. Rockets win big 103-84.

 

Superman's return,We will definitely win Cavaliers.

 

Forget about the skid...We get back to our winning ways...

Rox: 95

Cavs: 91

 

Is this a knock on Shane? Because I was joking...

But maybe a... But, for now...

 

On the radio 610, TMac is so happy for Yao's return, so everyone is going to pump up.

Rox:102
Cav:89

 

I am worried about Varejao aggressive playing tonight against YAO in his first day back.

 

I'm worried Yao's coming back too soon and will re-injure himself. He's chomping at the bit too much, Van Gundy is too ready to let him play. I feel disaster is looming.

 

Check out this one:

Hope you like it. Terminator comes back!!

 

You are too negative. This type of ingury is not a big deal if it was 10 years ago. Players will play while it heals itself. Yao has rested for 10 weeks. No problem AT ALL. Do not jinx

 

Rockets 95
Cavaliers 90

McGrady 31 pts
Yao 15 points mostly in first quarter
Rockets get some scoring help from Shane and Luther,
T-Mac hits a crucial jumper in the final minute.

 

Not easywin,but we will win.

Yao: 10pts,5rebs,1blk

Tmac: 32pts 5+ 5+

 

Can't wait for Yao's return.....
Rockets win
100-97

 

Rockets win 91-86. Yao plays 20-25 minutes...

 

Don't worry, Dawson and Van gundy would not let Yao come back, if Yao is not ready.

 

Yeah and if Yao came back next month and still got hurt, you would say he was rushed then as well.

 

Lebron's so called supporting cast will go missing once again along with Tmac's but Yao will be the difference.

 

Not to go off on a tangent, but I just had Dish Network installed and I have a question about Rockets coverage.

I live in the Greenspoint area and I was relieved to find that I still get Fox Sports Southwest on dish. However, the channel guide only lists Mavericks games, and even those are blacked out. Plus, I get Mavericks Insider instead of Rockets programming. This is my version of hell.

Since I am barely outside of city limits, I would assume I would still receive Rockets listings, even if the games were blacked out. When I had cable, I could catch all the Rockets games on FSN. Would anyone have any idea if this is normal procedure for Dish Network? I wouldn’t want to miss watching Yao’s return.
