Clutchfans Game Thread: Cavaliers @ Rockets 2/26/2009

We can contain LBJ with Bat&Ron but hopefully we can shut down their perimeter offense at the same time. Both Mo Will and D west can light it up any minute. Close out the perimeter and team D on LBJ will be the key to the win ><

there was a karate chop on the neck too, see scola's right hand

 

I feel that we are the favorites to win, but Las Vegas has us loosing by 2 or more.

 

refs and Mo are dangerous.

 

Yep, refs are the biggest factor in this game...seriously.

It's funny because Cle fans think Z is big enough to stop Yao...Yao has no problems with the big slow guys...he has problems with the quick smaller ones who annoy him like a bug.

If the refs call this one right and don't let their big men flop all night long like how they did in cleveland, we win this one because Yao will dominate.

Shane will expose Lebron, Artest will punk Lebron, Brooks is too fast for any of their guards, and Scola will be his scolaness.

 

BART!

 

I didn't watch much of the first meeting between these 2 teams. How bad was the flopping? I mean I see bad flopping from any team on a consistent basis.

 

western confederacy > eastern union thats for sure

 

ENGRISH mutha*****, do you speak it?!!!

 

I don't get it. The Rox are 23-6 at home, better than San Antonio and Orlando. The Cavs are only 18-10 on road. Who is the favorites to win?!

I can't believe so many people here kept bringing up the refs - that's a lack of confidence. Calls tend to go in favor of the home team, and the more agressive and hustling team. Go make some noice!!!

 

Well you never know, I mean only LeBron James is in the house and we know how much the NBA and the refs like him. But you may be right! Calls may go in our favor.

 

Why isn't this in the game thread?

 

Bizarrely, the calls seem to go in favor of the Cavs and the Lakers - the teams of LeBron and Kobe respectively....

 

Very important game that can define the rest of our season.
The guys and the league will know today if we really can still expect to win that championship.
For my part I still believe : Rockets 97 - 85 Cavs.

 

Idunno, even when we play at home, the calls don't seem to really go in our favor. I'm not saying we should get homecooking, but many calls or lack thereof really leave me scratching my head.

 

someone updated this in another thread, but violet palmer has been assigned to today's game.

we will be playing 6-on-5 and yao will not be playing more than 25 minutes. thanks NBA

 

win by defense

 

I really dont think LBJ is so wonderful that we cant stop him!Just NBA need a big star like Mike,so he is taken care by refs all the time!Just try to make him to do more jump shots ,then we will win!ohhh!Dont let him ---4 steps lay up!My god!
He is not kobe,I think Yaoming in the paint is menace for LBJ ,just you know if LBJ hits Yaoming ,80% is yaoming's foul!Thats it!To see LBJ in the international ,you will know he is not that strong like what we think!
