ClutchCity.net Game Thread: Suns @ Rockets 3/16/2003

looking at calendar the rockets must win
Phoenix have a better calendar

 

Marbury playing like usual? Thats cool. Ballhogging and being selfish usually helps them lose.

Anyways, if you lose I guess we can expect you to come around here blaming the refs...everyone knows the Suns can NEVER outright lose a game.

 

Aww man, I wish I could be at a BOOMING Compaq Center tonight. If you're in Houston and NOT going to this game, you're just plain crazy.

Are fans aloud to take drums and yell chants during games? Seriously. Like, just one guy in the crowd with a base drum, and screams out some stuff for the crowd to repeat. Aything like that?

 

For the sake of argument, I have to point out that Marbury is averaging 8.3 assists/game, 3rd best in the league.

That being said, I had a good feeling about the Chicago game, and I have the same feeling about this one.

Rockets by at least 10.

whether they'll be able to maintain focus after getting this big win is another question entirely.

I think it might not matter though, I just have a feeling that after they get whipped tonight, the suns will lose confidence and fall behind GS.

 

5 in a row and keep rolling!!

Rockets 102

Suns 94
-------------------------------------------

Yao 22 Points
Francis 25 Points

 

I'm not having a real good feeling about this game right now. In the end, I think it all comes down to the crowd.

Booming Crowd= Win by 10

Not So Loud Corwd=Close Loss

 

Big game phobia for the fan I guess.
We will win. Why? Because we are big inside. Suns are pretty successful against teams without big man inside, including the Kings game, which Diavc didnt play. Suns had troubles playing teams with big man, and rockets is one of those teams. Rockets played very well against Suns in the series so far, even the loss was just one point at Sun's home court. We are going to win this time too, espeically we all know Yao plays well in the big game.

 

I am quite curious to see how Yao does againt Tsakalidis since he just returned from injury. Yao generally needs at least a half to figure out his defenders and Tsakalidis is a pretty big body in there.

 

I doubt that Tsakalidis will play many minutes. This will be his first game after almost a 3 month absence. Yao is goigng to kill him.

 

With Jazz losing to Cavs today, a win will put Rox only 1 1/2 back of Utah.

 

It ain't the Iranian national team soccer game Sane

those games are LOUD!!!

 

What's our season series with Utah and LA.?

Hey, you never know...

 

Head to head games with Jazz is 1-2, with Lakers is 2-1, 1 game left for each.

 

Rockets would have to finish strong against the other Western teamsn, or finish with a better record than Utah, cause a tie would give the Jazz the advantage in most cases. The best the season series could be would be 2-2


Then it would go to the conference
Jazz 22-17
ROX 19-19


Then it would go to record in the division
Jazz 12--7
ROX 8-11

And if we could be the Lakers, then we win that season series.


As long as we don't have to go to the division tie breaker with the Jazz, who knows what may happen.

 

Hmm, I have an idea about the radio dilema...

I gotta go to radioshack....if you catch my drift.

 

Anyone know if the game is sold out? I feel bad being in Austin and screaming at the TV. God, I hope the crowd is big and absolutely nuts. Anyone lucky enough to go should come home with a sore throat.

I'm not making any predictions.
(it seems to help )

 

I think the Suns will do what we usually do, and thats have a terrible game right after a terific game. Suns just killed the Kings right? Well that means they will come here 2night thinking they are hot $hit, if we come out like we did against the Bulls there will be no stopping us...

 

You guys realize we have not won 5 in a row ALL SEASON!!! Tonights game would make #5....please god let them win

 

but didn't the rockets just have a terrific game as well?

 

If I were to have a broadcast set up, what would you guys prefer? Gene Peterson or Bill & Calvin?
