ClutchFans Game Thread: Pacers @ Rockets 11/26/2008

i think wafer might start tonight.

 

BATTIER'S BACK ....BATTIER'S BACK!!!!!!

 

Everyone that is a little skeptical is rightfully so...

Pacers are good...

We need to play good defense.

If we lose, than it shows that we really need Tmac, but I hope it doesnt come to that.

 

Batman is back Batman is back

 

battier is back and thats a good thing...but u guys dont expect the same old battier when he plays, like when yao and mcgrady was playing(not 100%) u guys started bashing them.

 

without tmac, we still should annihilate the pacers. looking forward to see battier on court

 

trust me, Tmac has been a HUGE defensive liability these last few weeks. With a team like the Pacers, its better that he not play right now. They have a ton of quick perimeter scorers. Our offense will actually move better too i think !

 

We jump out early on the Pacers and they just cannot recover from it.

94:82, Rockets win.

 

TMac needs to rest and get to 100% healthy as much as possible. That said must get some contributions from Wafer or better yet get SF3 some PT.

 

Watch out for Landry.

Landry's gonna have a MONSTA game....20 points, 7 rebounds, 2 Assists

 

No Tinsley = Rockets Win

 

ooo ooo whos starting at SG tonight? Would love it if we do it Mavs styles and start a bench player like how they've been starting Antonie Wright and Gerald Green...

Start Von Wafer at SG!

 

Yes Tinsley = Rockets Blowout

 

rockets win~
4 wins in a low

 

This game worries me a little bit. The Rockets need to treat this game similar to playing against Golden State. Nesterovich and Murphy will pull Yao out to the perimeter so rebounding will have to be a group effort. There's a good chance, that they will swarm or front Yao, so Landry and Scola will have to ready to hit the mid-range shot.

 

11-5
Here we go!!

 

Artest will fill the mcgrady void and score 23 points to lead the team. Yao also finishes the night strong with 20 pts and 16 rebs. Battier first game back will play around 15-18 mins. He is going to contribute by knocking down some corner 3s and tremendous man-to-man defense.

 

i love battier to death. i can't wait to see the batman play. It's gonna be great to see artestand battier taking turns in shutting down granger.

 

Artest will start at SG tonight for Tmac Battier is back at SF.

 

My prediction : Rockets 101 Pacers 75......

LETS GO ROCKETS
