ClutchFans Game Thread: Grizzlies @ Rockets 11/9/2004

We will win!

TMac will torch the opponents with 28-8-8, and Yao will posterize Gasshole with 25-11. No foul trouble by Yao and he regains the respect from the referees.

And Boki 2-2 from 3s.

 

what a timing. never happened to me before.

win of course. further improvement showing as a team.

 

With 2 days off and a much needed rest, the Rox will "lift off" to a 89 to 80 Win!

Hope it helps.

 

Every game they played so far have been an improvement and I think they will take another step further, noticebly Yao will want to make a statement here for his poor performance in Memphis. With Memphis struggling and Rox goin on a little streak I'd say....

93-87 Rox


T-Mac: 25pts, 4Ast, 5Rb
Yao: 20pts, 5Ast, 11Rb

 

I am a little worried about this game. Grizzles is 0-3 and desperate. It's tough to fight a desperate opponent. It will be interesting to see if we can deal with the 'Yao Defense' better this time.

 

It is going to be a blow-out

ROX 91 : Grizzlies 70

 

hey this game is going to rock but i have a favor to ask ... this is going to be the first time im actually going to houston to see my rockets play and i was wondering if anyone could tell me how to get to the toyota center from I 10 ... im coming from San Antonio and ive never been in houston so i need to figure out how to get to the arena. If anyone could help it would be much appericated. Oh ya and we better win ... it being my first game to go to ever and all.

 

I agree.. I see small improvements game to game and I think Yao will feel like he has something to prove because of his poor showing against the Griz last game.

When Yao comes out with a chip on his shoulder he is unstoppable and I have confidence in JVG's ability to make adjustments. Remember how the Celtics used to play us and the adjustments we made and Yao having a follow up monster game?

Absolutely. And I'll bet Rox 90+.

 

Roxs tear apart the bear cubs.


Roxs 92
Grizzled 74

 

Edit: took out my directions. droxford gave you better directions.


Hope you have fun

 

Pau gets t-ed up twice for making those incredibly disgusting whining faces after calls and is ejected.

 

For the sake of my health, please Rockets win by 10.

Rockets: 90
Gizz: 80

 

I totally remember that face...what did Clutch call it...'bitter beer' face!

 

IMPORTANT: Memorize these directions and follow them precisely. If you miss a freeway exit, or take the wrong exit you are very, very screwed and you're on your own!. Have a Houston map handy and pray, 'cause dealing with freeways near downtown Houston is very tricky. If you have a friend in the car, have him/her be the navigator and both of you should be alert as to your directions.

• Take I-10 directly toward downtown.
  
• When you start approaching downtown, you'll see signs indicating I-45 North/South (note: you DON'T want to get on I-45). The I-45 exit will be the left two lanes - you don't want either of them. Stay in the middle lane (the far right lane will take you into downtown Smith Street, so you want the second or third lane from the right). This will keep you on I-10.
  
• You will continue to drive on I-10, seeing downtown on your right. Do not get into the right lane - it will be an exit-only to take to to downtown - you don't want that yet. You're going to keep going to another freeway: 59 south.
  
• Immediately after the right lane does its exit-only, get over as far right as you can go - you will want to exit 59 South. It's a one-lane exit, and you don't have much time to get there (you'll have to fight merging traffic to get there, too. Try not to stress out).
  
• After you exit 59 South, stay in the right lane and take the first right exit you see (Hamilton street). Lock your doors becuase you're gonna drive right by the Star of Hope Mission and there are a ton of scary individuals around (some you may recognize from the ClutchFans.net bbs).
  
• Continue to drive straight on Hamilton until the street dead-ends into the George R. Brown Convention center - you will have to turn right onto Walker.
  
• After turning right on Walker, get in the left lane because you're gonna turn left at the second or third light, which is La Branch.
  
  Follow La Branch down 5 blocks - the stadium will be on the left side.

Once you have exited the freeway, missing a turn isn't tha big of a deal - just make the block or something. But you really don't want to mess up when you're getting around the freeways. Also remember that it's legal to turn left at a red light if you're turning off a one-way onto a one-way (this is important to do when driving downtown to keep traffic flowing).

And for God's sake, don't drive around looking up gawking at the pretty skyscrapers.

If you are scared by these directions, go ahead and take that Smith Street exit into downtown and use your map to get your way through the grid of one-way streets to the intersection of Clay and La Branch. It'll take you a while to get there because of red lights, but it's harder to get lost. Stay off Main Street - it's for experienced downtown Houston drivers only!. There's a train that runs up and down Main street, so don't block the intersection and use caution when crossing Main.

There will probably be lots of people walking and driving stupidly around the stadium. Slow down and be careful.

Good luck!

DO NOT use Blatz's directions - they take you South (for some reason) through Galleria traffic and then to 59 north to downtown (which has several lanes closed due to construction and has monster gridlock traffic all the time).

A wake up loss.

First NBA 2005 lottery draft thread will appear after the game.

86: 94

 

surely a loss. they are bound to win soon, and the usually have our number esp. since we just beat them.
