ClutchFans Game Thread: Blazers @ Rockets 4/6/2007

WTF is going on.

I think I know. Jazz knows that we are taking precaution with our stars. They are dropping games to induce the Rocket to catch up to them(with our stars). If we fall for that we could end up like the Wizard.

 

VSpan: DNP-CD ???

Brilliant!

Gundy, your arse is on the line next.

 

Deron williams is out with a groin injury, could be serious.

 

Best news I've heard all day ... Best news that Rafer Alston has heard all day, too

 

Of course, I feel sorry for Deron Williams (or any player that gets injured as a matter of fact) .. but right now, my desire for the Rockets to get past the 1st round overwhelms my empathy for injured players

 

they playin tricks on us.

but serious, who's their back up? still better than rafer

 

but serious, u can hear barkley.

"what? houston didn't beat utah. deron beat utah."

they'll lose to the mavs for sure.

but i'm sure deron will play in the playoffs.

 

Come on Dallas, beat the Nuggets.

Oh, and Lakers need to win this one too.

 

dadakota, u should watch this lakers game. he has missed mo evans for an open dunk on a break settling for a 3pt shot over 2 defenders. and he's not passing much to odom who's on fire

laker fans are angry lol

 

why Lakers?

 

I am rooting for my fav first round matchups. I think Denver/Suns is more intriguing than Lakers/Suns.

Oh great, just as I say that, Dirk chokes in the clutch and turns it over.

 

im serious, kobe just doesn't pass. his scores cover that fact but u can see when kobe fell down, odom didn't even want to pick him up after a foul

 

Even with the heated rivalry that occured between the Lakers/Suns last year? I think Suns bring out the best in Kobe really, and you get to see interesting contrast between an one man team and a 5 man team. just my opinion

 

Lakers/Suns is a good matchup as well, but look at it this way: Lakers with Kobe can make life hard on an unsuspecting Spurs team, same way McGrady used to make things hard on otherwise superior teams when he was in Orlando and his first year here in Houston. Lakers and Spurs is still a good matchup. On the other hand, I think the Nuggets are an easy matchup for the Spurs, I think the Spurs would walk right over them.

So basically, I am rooting for two good matchups instead of one good matchup in the Lakers/Suns and another predictable, boring one in the Nuggets/Spurs.

Actually, I wouldn't be entirely upset if the Nuggs slip to the eighth spot (very possible) and took on the Mavs in the first round, because I think they can match up with them.

I am not saying any of those teams would win, but I believe they would make for more compelling first round series.

 

groin injuries are manageable, he'll be fine.

 

Ehhhh sorry to derail but...

How do I post a poll?? I get an option saying "post a poll with this thread" but where do I fill them in?

 

I woke up, saw that Yao and Tracy would not play and i went to bed again.....
BAD LOSS

I'm not concern about T-Mac, he has only a stifff back, but what happend yo YAO:/?

 

Is that a Drexler's jersey in the middle of the pic? Maybe he is coming out of retirement.

 

hit submit thread and then it will ask you to fill in the poll stuff

 

this is why they get paid multi-millions....
