ClutchFans Game Thread: Jazz @ Rockets 5/5/2007 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 7)

Believe me, Yao is mentally tough, he has been in this kind of situation before when he had to play big without a lot of help from his teamates to lead Chinese national team to advance. Chinese team beat Serbia and Montenegro in Olympic Game and Slovakia in world championship to advance as a underdog both time. Yao has been huge before and he will be huge again tomorrow.

Exactly it could be the very game of Yao and T-mac 's life, we win we will go much further than everybody could expect, we lose, we will never get where we are again.

T-mac and Yao please lead our Rockets to start a new Dynasty.

 

T-mac gonna show, Yao gonna show, please hit those 3333333sssssss!

 

I'm nervous but hopeful. It's Game 7 at home...this is what all the uproar over home court advantage was for, right? We have the Jazz in our city, at our place, with our crowd for the right to advance to the second round. Let's see what happens.

T -12 hours. I'm on pins and needles already.

 

Hey all,

I have been a Rockets fan since 1982. Lived in Houston and now live in Indonesia. I am like most of you in that I am nervous about this game. Not to say I don't have confidence that the Rockets can win but it just depends on which Rockets team shows up. All of you get to watch the game on t.v. but living here, I have to follow the game play by play on the computer. You talk about tough. The page refreshes every 30 seconds and I get to see what happened. Hard way to follow the Rockets but I have been doing it all season since we arrived here in October. Diehard Rockets fan.

Bottom line: TMac has to attack all night long. Wide open three's ok but otherwise drive to the hole. Being at home will probably get more fouls called his way and go to the line.
Yao has to stay out of foul trouble and and keep his turnovers down. He proved he can do it when he had 0 turnovers already in this series. Get deep post up position and dunk or get fouled. Keep from having to take outside shots longer than 15 ft. Aggresiveness will result in fouls called for him and he is automatic from the foul line.
Bench has to contribute. Rafer, JHoward, Shane, and Luther have to score at least 10 pts. each.
Chuck Hayes needs to be careful with foul trouble and get in double digits in rebounds. No second chance shots from Jazz. Need to limit there offensive rebounds.
Field goal percentage has to be at least 45% and we need to make at least 10-- 3 pointers.

Make it loud at the Toyota Center guys. Wish I could be there but there will be one former Houstonian who will be rutting our guys on from 10,000 miles away at 8:30am Sunday morning.

See you guys in the second round.

 

It's up to you folks to make yourselves heard here in Shanghai. LET'S GET LOUDER THAN THE FRIGGIN' JAZZ FANS!!!!

 

This will be the game that motivates the whole team to take that proverbial next step to the next level. Yao goes ballistic on the Jazz as Boozer and Mehmet run for their lives. Tmac lets it all out and takes AK47 and Fisher out of the game with foul trouble.
Battier, Alston and Head shoot over 40% from 3pt land while the two headed monster of Juwan and Chuck Hayes combine for 16 pts and 13 rebounds.
Rockets win! Jazz flop like crazy in the final few minutes in a vain attempt to catch up.

 

there are a lot of options... first try gamecast on espn. It's better than updating your page every 30 sec. or you could try sopcast and watch a stream if you have broadband.

 

Its all set up for us to make it to the conference finals, we just need to win tonight. Just win baby!

Rockets 89
Jazz 86

 

If the Refs allow Derek Harper to hand-check, impede, claw, grab, hold
(Kenny Smith) the Rockets are in trouble. Whoa. Wait. Did I just say Derek Harper? I meant Gorden Gireck. If they allow Gordon Gireck to manhandle Tmac it'll be tough for the Rockets.

 

Please referees - call a fair game

 

I have confidence... we will win.

 

Just relax-have faith - Rockets win by 8 points tonite

 

I go in at 12:30 to work, and work up until game time. I haven't poo'ed yet.


I'm working it up though.


Now's not the time for the home team to lose their first game.


Rockets -88
Utah-85

 

Yeah, and Rockets have to be confident too

 

had a dream last night.. rockets up 85-69 afftter 3 qtrs!

 

gogogo!!rox
tmac 40pts 15ast 10reb
yao 30pts 15reb 10blk

 

Its going to be a blowout

 

right now i hope T-Mac got the pigs blood all over himself sitting naked in the weight room, he needs to go ape **** tonight!

 

i don't think i could be less excited about throwing away $13 for spiderman 3 on the imax instead of watching game 7 tonight if i tried.

**** me, thought we'd close it out in 6, agreed to spiderman 3 at 7:30 today.

**** **** ****.

 

Time for T-Mac to step up & get him self and his team out of the first round...
