ClutchCity.net Game Thread: Mavericks @ Rockets 2/21/2003

Going to the game and I imagine I will be getting alot of stares due to my cursing.

Dallas - 109
Houston - 87

Look for me on TV - I'm in Section 118, Row E. I'll be the guy with the red face and bulging neck veins.

 

when andy yao asked ym question in his weekly interview, "have you ever seen a better shooter than nowitzki?"
"there is one, me."
YM replied without 0.1 second hesitation.
let it be tonight's reality.

 

damn i can not edit
the question should be
"have you even seen a better shooter and as tall as nowitzki?"

 

I watched the video of Steve Francis on Rockets.com about his thoughts on playing tonight and injury. He doesn't sound too optomistic about playing tonight. It didn't sound like his injury was too serious but he said that if he is 60-70% tonight he probably will play it smart and won't go so he doesnt do further damage. But he won't know until he stretchs out before the game.

I really hope he plays. As a Rockets fan living outside of Houston and can't get League Pass I live for these nationally televised games and I really want to see Steve and without him it will make the game that much tougher to win.

well every time i say we are not gonna win we do so
we will not win tonight
hope it works

 

Mavs have our game in a bag!

 

Rockets will lose big tonight!!! Funny how here in Dallas noone is even mentioning the Houston game. Meaning Dallas is not scared of the Rockets and really don't give a **** about them because they will not be in the playoffs. Maybe next year, Rockets fans. And to the moron who wrote Detroit beating the Mavs, you need to be shot. Mavs have kicked their asses worse that they have your Rocks. I find that hard to believe because they really have pounded Houston. When Detroit played in Dallas they were down at one point by around 55 points. Oh, then the Pistons really tried to hype the game up big, how they were going to repay the Mavs for the loss. Sounds like Houston, oh and in the end it really worked for them. Mavs pounded them by 30.

 

MMFL-

I bet you have been waiting for years to say that! I hope you enjoy it b/c in another year or so you won't be saying it no more! You know your Mavs are a bunch of no D playing jackers, who are nothing more than the Kings whipping boys!

 

Yao's been playing a lot more physical in the last few games and his stamina seems to be better. He banged it pretty hard against the Lakers and Phoenix. He's only shown his finesse game against Dallas so far this season. I don't think Bradley will be able to keep up and Raef's going to be in for a surprise.

Dallas will have to focus on guarding the 3-point shooters - Rice and Franchise - so Yao will have more flex.

Yao breaks his scoring and FT% record tonight - 37 points, 12 rebounds.

Will be a close one but I suspect another heartbreak for the Rox.

 

MWWL,

And how many championships have Dallas won?

 

As a huge Mavs fan please don't lump me or other Mavs fans with this classless child.

 

MFFL,
Please go back to your mavs board where no one pays attention to you or responds to your pathetic posts. Thank you. -SRF

 

MFFL...so sorry the MAVS didn't get Brian Grant, your group of PANSIES will have their hands full, and their backs broken again, perhaps not by our ROX this year, but by the Lake Show, Kings, Blazers, or anyone else who has a big guy who can go to the rack. Actually, if we finish 8, I'd love to beat you guys in a 7 game series, not that we'd need all 7 to do it. Good luck, regular season over-achieving MAVS. Your worst nightmare, Houston Rockets.

With that off my chest...Rox win tonight by 4.

99
95

Ming goes off!

 

Since I have very low expectations, I think I will have fun tonight. I'm looking forward to the Mooch show. Let's see what happens when Mooch and Cat are the pgs. Maybe it's better?

Yao goes off. Rice hits, Taylor hits, Eddie fouls out, Posey bricks, Cat hits and misses a lottttt. Dallas still outscores us by wide margin - 86-105.

 

MFFL...you are a world-class jackass. Telling someone they should be shot...that's not cool, man. This board condones and appreciates the other fans' view, but when you come on here with all the horse**** you post, you're crossing the line. Right now you're far over the line.

That being said,

Mavericks 94
Rockets 86

 

just saw some funny posts from ESPN, hope some fun before the game

Favorite Quotes From the Rocket Head Coach and Starting Five:

Rudy Tomjanovich: "Beer. It's what's for breakfast, lunch, and dinner."

Cuttino Mobley: "I love to play team ball. There's no "I" in Cuttino...
well... ummm... nevermind. Yes there is."

Eddie Griffin: " ."

James Posey: "Slap! Pow! Kazaam! Thwack! What?!? That wasn't a foul!"

Steve Francis: "The only difference between me and Ming is that he's 7'5 and
Chinese... and shoots the ball better, and passes the ball better, and
rebounds the ball better, and doesn't get a technical foul every other game.

Yao Ming: "Shaquille O'Neal is like a pure white water river flowing in the
valley beneath the beautiful mountains of the Appalacians. The white water
erodes the riverbanks with such an extreme force that eventually wears and
tears down the mountain. I must become a white water river also."

 

MFFL,

This game doesn't matter because the Rockets will win the Championship before the Mavs ever will.

 

Absolutely agreed with that.

The Current Mavs are not good enough to win a championship. With Ming gelling with teammates, we will be the champs before the Mavs do

 

I was just listening to Yao Ming's Manderin interview.

He said seomthing like, we should learned something from Utah's back to back game. We should never relax and until the final whistle. We should continue to pound on the opposing teams even when we're up by 15 points or 20 points.

Hope the Rox can tear up the Mavs tonight.

Some predictions:
Norwizki : 1-15 3PT,
Nash: 2-10 3PT,
Finley: 0-11 3PT

The Big 3 of mavs keep shooting 3s and brick most of them, that will get them out of this game. Yao gets all the rebounds and start fast break.

Go Rox, kick Mavs Butt.

 

LMAO!! That was funny.

Some of the other ones made me go
