ClutchFans Game Thread: Blazers @ Rockets 11/3/2007

We ROLL 115-98..................................

3-0

 

win win win then... loss loss

 

This is not a game to look past. CBark summed it up best with his analysis at the end of the Rockets-Lakers game - "Thur ain't a team that so much betta than anotha team in the NBA right nah. It's like when I played bahk in thu day. When I went to 'Lanta, I had to face Dominique. Ev'ry game was a showdown." - But then again Toronto blew out the Nets (also Barkley's pick for champ of the east), so what do his predictions mean anyway. Rox 97-90.

Other notes of interest on issues of no actual import, on espn.com they've got predictions for end of the year award recipients and there are some votes for Yao for MVP and for Bonzi for 6th man. Also, if Kobe scores less than 31 tonight, TMac will be the leagues leading scorer. Just in case, you wanna know some inane facts that don't really matter in the larger scheme of the season.

 

Better not be another trap game

 

By the Power of Greyskull...... Rockets will show that they have the poweeeerrrrrrrrrr..........

Rockets win by at least 8 points. The MacMing combo delivers a 55 point knock out punch.

 

Rockets 115-101
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh

 

Rockets get a big lead and loose the lead at the end............need a better closer at the POINT POSITION


Rockets 106
Blazers 99

 

I'm a little amused at most people here being so dismissive of a Blazers team that played quite competitively against the Spurs on opening night.

Who wants to bet that if it actually does turn out to be a close game, people will start chiding the Rockets for "underestimating" the opponent?

 

If we can handle the jazz on the road, we can handle the blaze at home.

Find that amusing too

 

they got blown out by 20 by the hornets.

if we take them lightly, yes it will be a close game.

but yao will look to redeem himself. tmac will look to continue his return to the top 3 in the L. our bench wants to show they can ball. most importantly, we're still looking to improve.

look for our starters to do a better job opening the game.

 

126-88 rox

 

big win.108-74

 

Wow...

 

Blazers on a back to back

we win easily...a blowout 118-92

 

Our starters want to put up bigger numbers this game after the Utah game.
Tracy McGrady will have another 30+ point game.
Yao says we must protect this house.

If Portland is shell shocked on the second leg of a back to back:
112-88 Rockets

If Portland is hungry after the Hornets game:
101-95

 

basically, no matter what, they gonna lose..
I feel bad for the blazers...really.

 

i want us to make the TC a place no team wants to come. let's get a 35-36 win record on our HC.

 

I don't

We need to get mentally ready for the Dallas/San Antonio back to back.

 

Dallas lost to Atlanta, Phoenix lost to LA. I guess we are the ones to beat in the West. I expect a 40 point blowout. Anything less would be uncivilized.

And Yao gets 40 pts

 

especially for the Jazz..
