ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Nuggets 12/16/2009

I really wanted to go to this game, but I have a final at 7:00, so I can;t make it.

The Nuggs have been struggling a bit lately. They have lost to 3 pretty bad teams recently. I would love the W to shove it in all the bandwagon Nuggets fans faces.

 

Chauncy vs. AB damn what a great match up

We have enough man power to control Carmelo...

Adelman messed up by playing his starters almost a full game...

Hope for the best, expect the worst...blah

I hope we can pull this one out

 

13 points in 33 seconds.

How many points in 7 minutes?

 

I think the key to win is the defence on Billups

 

This is going to be extremely tough. The key to this game is fighting fatigue, since we're coming off a back-to-back and playing the Nuggets AT Denver...ridiculous schedule.

 

I'm interested in the guards matchups.

 

Carmelo Anthony>Lebron James

 

We were able to control Melo last season. Let's see if we can carry on the momentum.

 

hard game, back-to-back + the altitude + good team

 

I think T-mac will be played based on shots, not time. So I expect him to make about 4 or 5 shots and then sit down. Probably under 10 mins.

Ariza and buddinger will probably split time.

I think we can beat these guys as long as we can overcome the fatigue and not let them get any big leads. If they get us in a big hole, fatigue will become a huge factor in fighting our way out.

There's not going to be the same energy advantage we had in Houston last night with T-mac's first game and all.

 

I don't belive he will play 7 minutes for 4-5 more games, really.

If that was the case, he shouldn't have played yesterday either. But the coach changed his mind.

IMO it is all about how he feels. They are extremly cautious with Tracy. But if he feels fine, if he wants to play and plays well, if his knee is allright than his pt will raise

 

I'd rather the Nugs win, and the bandwagon Nugs fans go back to being Lakers fans. Win/win! :grin:

Good luck tonight guys. Looking forward to a great game.

 

Oh God. I HATE the Denver Nuggets, almost as much as the Jazz. As an ex-Denver resident, expect the Nuggets to flop and play tough.

Kenyon Martin will play dirty. Chauncey will abuse Aaron in the post. Melo will get his.


Just get a win...please.

 

Okay Okay, I take some of that back in respect to Nuggets4

 

i have a feeling we could upset them tomorrow :grin: i hope its true... wish us luck !go rockets!!....

Rockets 92
Denver 85;

 

Anybody wonder why Aldeman played Brooks 43 mins & Scola 40 mins last night? Thought he could of gave them some rest considering this back-to-back.

 

I wonder how ESPN feels right now. Instead of putting the Rockets at Nuggets on the schedule tonight, they chose the Wizards at Kings.

 

I know the team hates them, but I LOVE back to back games....more hoops to watch !!

DD

 

AB tortures Billups.

Melo gets his number.

Tough win for us.

 

Of all the teams in the league, this is to me one of the worst matchups for Houston, really second only to the Lakers with Pau Gasol. These guys are big, athletic and very physical. And it's the second night of a back-to-back, going on the road, into high altitude.

If the Rockets pull this off I'll be really impressed. To be honest, I don't expect a W.
