ClutchFans Game Thread: Lakers @ Rockets 4/23/2004 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 3)

I kno we won BUT seen Steve and Yao before the game w/ thier eyes closed during the national anthem was the momment of the game.






WHAT AM I SAYIN? STEVE'S SHOT WAS OFF THE HOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Good game! In all respects.

Well, SF3 made difficult but excellent shots, Kobe's was purely lucky because he could not see the rim. But steve's was real, he meant it.

Yao's final shot is awesome, just awesome!

Nice to see Boki ran around.

Why do we have so many on injury list?

 

So when did JVG wouldn't allow any interviews? Did I miss something? Cuz they had interviews post game for the local broadcast.

 

He didn't want anybody talking to Jim Gray.

He's a "sh*t starter..." who would only try to provoke them into saying something that the Lakers could use as motivation.

Nobody in LA can see the local broadcast...

 

MAN WHAT A GAME!! CLUTCH CITY BABY!! THIS IS WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT!!!

 

That was an awesome game. I can't wait to see the game on Sunday.
I'll be the loud as hell guy at the top!

 

loved that absolutely loved it from the moment we won till the moment francis denied gray the interview

great game, great denial

 

Everyone played great. Only a few time I was concerned when Mobley forced some bad shots. I was praying, please, Mobley,
do not do it. Steve played perfectly, he showed he deserve the max contract tonight!

 

Yao did great. He has won back my LOVE! GO YAO! YAOMAINIA!!!

Steve Francis was HUGE!!! in the course of 1 minute Stevie had two.l....yes....TWO and 1's both of which were fouls on Shaq!!!

I loved the pick that Yao set that sent GP to his grave! What a monster pick!


WE RULE!!! WE RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Go ROckets!!! GO Yao! Go Stevie Franchise! Go boki!!!! WHOOOP!!!!!

 

Will, that's the problem with contrarian trading, when you sell high the stock usually goes higher...

 

We win!!!!

Fisrt playoff win in 5 years! Come on guys, bring on some excitement!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

WOOOOOOOO!!! I LOVE THE ROCKETS SO MUCH!!!!!!

STEVIE FRANCHISE, BABY! I knew all along he'd rise to the ocasion and lead us once he got to the playoffs. MAN, HAS STEVE STEPPED UP! He is so good, so clutch, WOO!!! If and when we win the series, Steve will be MVP of it.

 

Amen Will. Holy crap waht a sweet game! He nearly had the triple double, AGAIN!

 

Why are so many people are still talking about trade after a huge win? has it become a knee jerk reaction?

come on, enjoy the win, and wish for the next win!

 

It was great to see us win. We need to be healthy for the next game. Yao needs to be more aggressive on the offensive end but he did well on defense today. Making difficult shots and layups put us over the top but it can't happen all the time.
We need to keep on working harder to overcome our mistakes.
Steve Francis was great tonight. I was very happy to seem him doing such a fine job.
Memories of Clutch City came in my mind tonight.
I just wonder what would have happened if JJ had made the last shot in the 1st game but I'm really glad tonight.

 

Great game!!!!!! It was awesome...Stevie was crazy awesome fantastic just amazing.......very nice I hope he continues to play this well..within the flow of the game..under control..just efficient BASKETBALL. WOOOOOOOO!!! And Mobley was good tonight...Jimmy good..BOKI NACHBAR!!!! KELVIN CATO!!!! YAY! Mark Jackson was good. Mo Taylor and Yao Ming good. Refs good! Power dancers good! CROWD 6th MAN VERY GOOD. Louder 6th man lol...just a classic game..for Rockets fans lol. I love the Rockets! On Sunday..everyone should start chanting..STEVIE STEVIE..and continue chanting KOBE SUCKS!

 

NO DOUBT! The guy has been straight up HUGE! Man, even I never knew he could stand up to the occasion like this! WHOOOOOO! MVP! MVP! MVP!

 

BYE BYE Steve Francis haters YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS mahn this makes my day
