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

First home court game of the season, SO EXCITING! We have to be careful with this young team. They didn't do bad in the first opening game against Spus. They're talented and athletic!

 

You forgot about San Antonio.

 

u wish, 12 playoff teams we will face, including 2 spurs, 2 dalls, 2 phonxs

to be honest, those 6 games, if we can win 3 it would be great

 

i don't worry about portland, i worry about new orland, they are good this year, they will be very good this year, a playoff team.

 

BIG win for Rockets

113-89


Mac goes for 42 & Ming goes for 27

 

i hope it would be a sell out crowd tomorrow supporting our beloved rockets. because when i watch rox games in tv back in the philippines, many seats are empty. especially on the corners. why is that?

 

At this stage,no team in NBA is weak enough for us to ignore.Plus we get this trading rumor that might be disrupting our chemistry...My only hope is that Yao won't be so sluggish on our home opener.
BTW,do Rockets' players read ClutchFans?

 

The Blazers had their high hopes for the season dashed before it ever even started. Portland lost Greg Oden, the top pick from the 2007 NBA Draft, to season-ending knee surgery in the summer. Despite the loss, the Blazers don't arrive into Houston without some talent. They're led by rookie of the year Brandon Roy and a rising star in former University of Texas stadnout LaMarcus Aldridge.
They're good man,don't take this like over W.

 

And they don't have D-Miles because of the injury and that makes our job easier but Portland is Portland and they will not give up easy,even Spurs had some problems.

 

predict how many dunks t-mac will have tonight. he's had TWO in each game so far! that is really amazing.

also we could very well lose this game. we could come out too confident and lack energy. good teams beat teams theyre supposed to beat so hopefully we dont take them lightly.

 

Oh man, first season in new home court. Gotta be excitin' game.

We have 2-0 start, Blazers aresn' the best team, especially without Randolph and Oden but damn Aldridge has been great and Martel Webster has shown a great shootin' touch. But damn, it should really be a win for us. That's the first game at home floor, we need to be confident before Monday and Tuesday.

After that two games I of course expect big things from Tracy, he's really hot.

But I also really hope Yao will play better, he will find his shape. And of course our bench, I also expect big things from them.

And of course the start. We had 2 slow starts. Of course we won those games but it's important to play well from the beginin' so I expect a quick start and quick finish.

Rockets win, I don't care about the score but we win,

GO ROCKETS!

 

The Rockets should win this one. They're a good young team, but we're a better veteran team with more experience.

They got a good Brandon Roy and Aldridge. But we got Tmac, Yao, MJ, Bonz, Rowdies... man we got everything.

 

The blazers have no one to guard tmac, and with tmac getting comfortable in this offense it is hard not to see tmac not getting atleast 30points.
Yao on the other hand may struggle alittle as pryzbilla is a defensive big, so it will be interesting to see how Yao deals with it.

 

That's what Yao feels most comfortable with. He'll have a good night.

 

the lakes beat the suns and the HAWKS beat the mavs last night. THE HAWKS!?!?!?! what is goin on here. o' i know, the ref is not favoring the favorite team because they're being watch by the FBI.


GO ROX!!!!!!!!!!!1 BIG 2-0

 

The Hawks have a pretty good team , especially at home.
Thye have a chance to make the playoffs.
Plus Howard was out and Harris got injures during the game as well.

 

Go to the game. Rox112: Blazers 89. The Rockets will have a 3:0 start since 1996-1997.

 

how bad is the injury? And what did thug boy do this time to be out?

 

we won't go undefeated. spurs/dallas/suns are just too tough to beat them twice in one month.

but i think we'll fare well say 12-5.

 

yao avg 27-28 ppg v. portland last yr right. yao tend to play well v. traditional centers.
