ClutchFans Game Thread: Clippers @ Rockets 3/20/2006

Sam is showing us why Rafer was his backup with the Bucks.

I'm proud of Sam and Cuttino. I hope they do well in the playoffs.

They represent Rocket Heart, even though they dont play for us anymore.

These guys are heroes, they deserve keys to the city.

SORRY @$$HOLE STEVE KERR ....... If you said Chris Kaman is the second best NBA Centre, you're very very far off !!! It's about time you should either eat crows for your low and cheap d@ss on Yao Ming, or kiss the @$$ of the @$$ like Charles Barkley did !!

Chris Kaman the 2nd Best Centre in NBA ???? MY @$$ !!!

 

Dude, calm down - Steve Kerr is and has been a known Rocket hater for years. There's no point in taking anything he says about Yao or the Rockets seriously.

 

Minor point, but I see it often here. It's "crow" and not "crows" in that context. Just like it's not "Magics" or "Heats". "Magic" and "Heat" are already in it's plural form.

Carry on.

 

Clippers Guard Sam Cassell
(24 points and 3 assists)
On playing in Houston:
"This is home for me. Everyone likes to play well at home and obviously I'm no different."

Clippers Head Coach Mike Dunleavy
On the win:
"I thought after the first quarter we came out defensively and did a good job. Radmanovic came off the bench and did a good job for us rebounding and with his defense. We got a big lift off our bench. Defensively, Shaun (Livingston) did a good job running the team. We did a better job in the second half of moving the ball around and then we were able to pull away."

On defending Rockets Center Yao MIng:
"I thought we did a great job of defending Yao Ming even though he had 25 points. He's been playing incredible basketball the last six weeks."

Rockets Head Coach Jeff Van Gundy
On the loss:
"Every game he (Sam Cassell) comes against us, he comes off and he starts strong and he did tonight. But those aren't really the worrisome ones. Some of the preventable ones, the 21-points in transition, 17 of them were in the 1st half and those were preventable. Those were also a product of our turnovers. (Chris) Kaman scoring in the post one-on-one, a foul on (Shaun) Livingston, on 2 consecutive jump shots by Rafer (Alston), not only puts us in a predicament, essentially because of the foul trouble and being in the penalty, but it also takes him (Rafer Alston) out of the game. There's a lot that goes into winning and a lot that goes into losing."

 

note to Rockets:

Dont let Bogans wear the old school #10 against the Clippers.
That was Cassell's number.

Cuttino never wore the old school jersey, just the pajama ones.

Also, why is Stromile #4? thats Barkley's number. he's obviously not worthy.
