ClutchFans Game Thread: Cavaliers @ Rockets 2/7/2008

gooden probaly will not play plus tmac still wants to prove everyone wrong about the allstar game and he knows that this tmac vs lebron i really think we will win this one and plus we will get that blowout we have been wanting

 

Triple-Double for Yao or T-Mac.

 

Honsetly, playoff is difficult for Houston. With Tmac back, Head, Brooks and Wells can not find themselves, So is Rafter although he adjusts himself better anyway. Rick has to find out a way to solve it. Otherwise, Tmac will become Al in 76ers sooner or later. Just wonder why it's always Tmac who hold the ball? Obviously, when he is out, the ball moves very quickly and smoothly. Why he can not play as a shooter, and keep on running to the basket? Dirk is the 1st option in Mavs, he doesn't shoot that much. James shoots that much, Cavs is not an elite team, have a look at Celtics, Pistons, Spurs, Mavs and Hornets.

The last three wins, the X-factor is Landry&Scola, not anyone else.

 

I am a Red Rowdy, so that hits me hard.

But anyway... our arena maybe the most quiet to the Jazz announcers but the real question is this? Who has more rings?

 

Don't jinx it. Yao will give you a triple-double with 10 TOs.

 

It's not gonna be an easy game. If Rockets play like what they did in the last a couple games, something bad is gonna happen. Just watched the game between Utah and Denver, I come to realize all the WC teams are pushing themselves dead hard. Rockets are going nowhere if they cant go as hustle as others, so MOVE ROCKETS! like it's the end of the world!!

 

Huh? The Cavs are a better team than the Rockets? They're certainly hot as can be right now, but I wouldn't go so far as to say that they are better than the Rockets. If they win, it's because the Rockets had a bad night or LeBron went absolutely nuts. If Rockets win, it's because they are the better team. No way in hell are the Cavs better than the Rockets.

 

yea that's why both teams didn't play defense as both shot 50%

 

If they are missing varejao and gooden to freaking bad, nobody feels sorry for us when tmac and or yao does not play...........so f those pretenders.

Get a W.........the West is a beast.

 

hopefully rockets pull out a win ...104-97

 

Yao redeems himself

Team effort......ROCKETS win 105-95

 

Lol, the Rockets are the superior team, Cleveland is overrated. Who do the Cavs have besides Lebron.

Hughes- lol he shoots terribly most of the time
Big Z-Too old and not as good as he used to be
Gooden- Decend low post scorer, that's about it
Everyone else are just role players

Lebron himself has troubles with free throws, and shooting (sometimes). Their record is a fluke b/c they are in the Eastern conference and get to play bad teams more often then the Rockets. They've lost to some bad teams too like getting blown out by the Knicks and Nets.

 

My comment about the Cavs being a superior team is what the TNT studio guys will say after the game. I personally believe Houston is the better team by far in this game. But was just kinda joking around with the poster who said that the TNT guys will hate on Houston regardless of the outcome.

 

finally a game that should be quite entertaining ...

hmm. I think we have a good shot at another win. I say we do what teams were doing when Tmac was on fire ... Double Lebron and make him pass the ball out ... Don't let him get in the lane and create. I remember whenever Tmac was on fire in the first half, the smart teams would automatically double him and make him give up the ball before the play was set. Basically put pressure on him, and everytime he touches the ball, double him. If we do that, we have a good shot of winning. Hopefully Gibson and the rest of the cavs have an off shooting night?

 

another must win game...

rockets by 15

 

Well Rockets fans. We lost Steve Francis out for the year!!!! He was not doing nothing for us any way!!! ANd face the Rockets won't go far in the playoffs anyway. So it all works out!!!! We should of traded Tracy for KObe in the beginning of the season when the Lakers were shopping him.....!!! Sorry fans

 

From one rookie to another, that's not a good way to start.

Rockets win anywho.

 

The Cavs to me seems like a similar team to the Rockets.

Great wing player plus talented but slow center. I'm not saying Ilgauskas is as good as Yao but he's a pretty good center with post up moves and nice outside jumper. Then the role players like Varejao and Gooden just compliment them. Larry Hughes is their 3rd scorer that Bonzi is suppose to be, Gibson is a better open shooter then Rafer.

All in all, I think we're going to be in a dogfight, especially the way Lebron has been playing lately. Battier better get plenty of sleep.
