ClutchFans Game Thread: Cavaliers @ Rockets 2/7/2008

Exactly. I dont care what do you do, just double him, triple him, whatever makes his life uncomfortable.

 

Rox win...

Rox: 99

Cavs: 91

 

Yep this will be a good game, hopefully it will be on HD so I can fully enjoy myself. I predict Rockets will have a great game against the Cavaliers and win by 10.

 

The Cavs have almost the same record so it should be a hard fought battle. If everybody's healthy and Yao gets his 20+ shots and around 20-30 pts we will win. If not, we will lose cause Lebron will get his pts anyway. We have to focus on shutting down other players. Yao can kill Illgauskus anytime so it's the PG's job to give Yao the ball. Also, perimeter defence will be very important because they can shoot the three very well.

I predict a loss though: Rockets 97 - Cavs 111

 

close game, but Lebron will outplay Tmac down the stretch, because.............well because Lebron > Tmac

 

This is going to be a very tough game for the Rockets. The Cavs match up well but let's hope we can pull it off!

 

Sweet the game's on TNT!
The best team on TV!
Kenny, Charles, Ernie, Magic!

 

This will be a solid defensive effort for the Rockets. Lebron will get his 30+, but wont get a whole lot of help and the Cavs will get about 80-85 points. Dont forget they will be without their "hustle" guy in Varejao and this will limit their second chance points opportunities.

On offense, look for the Rockets to be able to get Yao more touches as Ilgauskas isnt the fronting type of center. Scola and Landry will have a field day if the Cavs use the 4 to double Yao. Brooks and Alston will get plenty of open 3 point attempts(10 or more) though they could dribble in for a closer shot if they so choose. T-Mac will rise to the challenge of LeBron, though probably will not outscore him. Turnovers will probably be an issue(14-16), as the Cav Guards will get their share of swipes at Yao.


Rockets win 102-84. More turnovers bring the Rockets score down, less and it will go up.

 

Tmac will own LBJ like he always do.

 

man i hate watch games on tnt and espn cause they hate on the rockets like ****. tnt especially because at half time..........sir stupid charles cant even finish a sentence without stuttering LOL. ohh and kenny hating on the rockets as usual. and i bet the tnt will be on LBJ dick......not hating on LBJ he is good but they dont have to always be on his jock.......get off his dick dam it. i hope the rockets win to shut up charles and kenny! imo even though if we win the game i think they will still hate on us. go rockets!

 

If the Rockets win it will be because the Cavs were off or Lebron got no help or he had a bad game. If the Cavs win it will be because they are the superior team.

 

Keep the streak going!
Rox 96
Cavs 88

 

Game's on TNT, so we get to listen to those Emmy-winning dumba$$es.

Historically, LBJ underperforms against the Rox:

G: 8
PPG: 21.4
FG%: 39.9
RBD: 5.9
AST: 5.4

That's nearly ten points less and 8% worse on his season averages. Nearly two fewer rebounds and assists as well. Hopefully that streak can continue.

 

Theres no doubt in my mind that we will win this game. Yao will come back and do his thing. I don't think he will have a big scoring night because T-Mac and Lebron will be going at it. I think Yao will have about 15 points and 20 rebs. While T-Mac carry us in scoring with 35 or 40 sometihing.

The reason I think T-Mac will have a big game with points is becasue I think he will be playing like he has something to prove. He loves to go head-to-head with the best in the game and trying to show them up.


Cavs 98
Rockets 104

 

I can promise you T-Mac won't let that happen. He will paly this game with a chip on his shoulder.

 

It will be in HD on TNT.

 

a bit off topic but does anyone know how long gooden will be out....just wondering because he's on my fantasy league team?

 

Not a healthy T-Mac.

 

That one is going to be a good one. T-Mac Vs Lebron!!! SO excited!!!!!
T-Mac will win the battle. He will have like 28-35 points.
The Rockets should win that one, they are at home. Plz Yao do something.
If we win that one, we will be 29-20. Yesssss!!!

prediction: Rockets win.

 

It is time to see some FIRE. Rockets, WAKE UP! Play with some intensity, like you really want it! Kick it into gear, and get serious. If you don't, I am going to talk bad about you for weeks. That is a fearful thing.
