Clutchfans Game Thread: Blazers @ Rockets 4/5/2009

Thanks, I don't get to see Rockets games often.

 

loss. Go to 8 seed and match laker in first round

 

Get some home cooking and a win. From here on out Yao should be taking 22 shots per game.

 

Will this game be on My20?

 

this is a must win game for the rockets..we can't lose ground on home court cause i think we need it in order to advance to the second round..but i have a feeling that we won't be facing utah this year haa! but to the game..oden is playing so we'll see him against yao..our guards (kyle lowry) needs to play good defense against brandon roy. and ain't landry suppose to be back this game? but i predict a win for the rockets in this one. blazers-92 rockets-98..I GUARENTEE THIS SCORE!!! LMAO!!

 

Rockets win by 10.

 

This is the first time I've predicted something like this:

Yao Ming goes for 40 as Rockets win by 10.

 

This energy is coming to me and I kinda see it now. Woo, Ahh ...

Last 5 minute of the game. Rocket is closing on an early 10 pt deficit, we are down by 4 now. Yao is laboring. The game is faster than his breath. He is trying to pin Oden, Oh, no, AB swings the ball to the other side, now Yao's confused. Artest gets the ball, it seems he thinks it's the Rocky time for him. Yao just comes to strong side low block, wobbling on a Battier pick. Yao gets fronted, he can barely move now. Artest waives him up. Yao obeys. Yao comes up set a pick for Artest. Yao is 20 foot out. Artest buries his head, lunges to the hole. Nobody is even guarding Yao, 7'6 and 20 foot out , every blazer sticks onto Artest like Morph flying to flame. Time is running down, Arest dribbles, wobbles, launches a 360 twisting fade away, missed the rim by 5 foot and gets blocked twice on the way. Roy gets the ball, fast break the other end, two points. AB gets the ball back, feels he has to out quick the entire blazers and get that 2pt back. Dashes to the basket, only to find himself surrounded by Aldridge, Oden and Outlaw. AB launches a mid air tear drop, gets blocked 3 times. Outlet, Fenendez gets the ball, does a 720 reverse dunk. 8pts down. Yao is in disgust, and barely moves now. RA time out.

 

On FSN, thankgod.

 

Is that you Bill?

 

In the last two games the Rockets have played as though they would like to win but not willing to desire it and enforce their will on the game, also we looked like we were short of a player or two, especiallay against the Lakers! Against the Blazers we need to play as though our lives depended upon our victory

Pardon?


Just Kidding...Anyway, I think the Rockets will win by a small margin. LaMarcus is on a roll now, and we know that Brandon Roy brings the energy every night.

I'm more concerned with Yao not recognizing that some of the Blazer bigs, not to mention names, flop on a consistent basis. It would be unfortunate for Yao to be in foul trouble the entire game.

I'm also nervous about Travis Outlaw doing some damage off of the bench.

The Blazers are young, extremely talented, probably more so than the Rox. Fortunately, we have a team of veterans, so we should *know* how to win against inexperience.

I'll hope for the best.

 

I have a feeling the clock will screw us over again and some how Roy pulls a 0.1 full court thanks to his buddies the time keepers

 

My first Rockets game of the season

 

e-z win

 

Yao has 18/9, Ron gets 23 points on 45% shooting, Shane scores in double digits, Scola gets 14/11, Rockets win by <10 points.

 

rox need to win after the 2 game west coast slide.

 

Hope rox come back from last lost. Feel like this game is not easy.

Rox are short on PF. Scola and Hayes need step up on defense.

 

gigantic game, don't fool yourselves. we win...







or not.
