Clutchfans Game Thread: Hornets @ Rockets 4/13/2009

Yao would've had a field day if Chandler doesn't play.

 

Come on Yao we cannot lose this game you need to be there!

Though, in saying this I remember we bet the Hornets @ NO w/o Yao in the last game - before Landry got shot.

 

yao gave chandler something like 28/14 last year on a broken foot.

 

I wasn't hyping up Chandler at all. I guess I wasn't specific enough.

I meant that they would have nobody to defend him whatsoever. Yao would've had it even easier than when playing against Chandler. I know Chandler can't stop him either.

 

50% chance of a win IMO.If Chandler plays it will get harder than that.

 

if Yao couldn't play tomorrow, it's all your fault....

 

If you look at the standings this is a must win game.

It is possible that by the final game the Mavs will have nothing to play for (having already secured the 6th seed) so that we can steal one in Dallas.

If we win this game there is a very good chance we will get a 2nd or 3rd seed and will not face the Lakers until the WCF.

 

We beat the Hornets without Yao last time, and the Hornets played awful recently, so I think Rockets will win.

 

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW


Just hope we get the 3rd seed.

2nd seed is too risky...we might find ourselves facing the j*zz if we go 2nd

 

beat them again without yao!

 

don't worry. after lost to GSW, they have almost clinched the 8th seed.

i hope we could be the 2nd, where we haven't be for years.

 

I expect the Mavs to go flat out against us irrespective of whether Yao plays or not. They are playing much better than before.

 

The Mavs have beaten a slumping New Orleans, and Jazz team. They have not been playing any defense and they do not strike an inch of fear into me. With Shane Battier and Ron Artest on the wings. I dont fear perimeter oriented teams.

 

Hornets = Weak Sauce

CP3 dropping 40 on us won't automatically win them the game.

Peja is in a slump and won't do **** with Batman guarding him. Scola and Tru Warrier should do well against invisible All-Star David West.

 

This should be an easy win:
1. They are coming off the first game of a back-to-back, with no days of rest(We are coming off 2 days of rest)
2. It is being played in Houston
3. Chandler might be out for them (Yao also could be out however)
4. We have been playing hot lately, they have been in a slump

Prediction: Rockets 101, Hornets 92

 

if this bone bruise of yao is not a trick, then we need to take a chance and rest him in any case. we'd still have a good chance to win.

 

WHO DAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

This should be an easy win. I hope they rest Yao in this game and let Mt. Mutombo sex things up like he did back in New Orleans.

 

Yao is expected to play tomorrow now. Great news, hopefully now we can really beat these Hornets!

 

I'm pretty sure there IS a chance Utah could rise to 7th if the results go their way

it looks like Denver has all but clinched the 2nd seed...I dun actually mind that
