ClutchFans Game Thread: Mavericks @ Rockets 3/6/2005

Hoping for a win but expecting an L....

 

No Dampier, Yao has little excuse not to dominate.

 

3rd

I think the Rockets will come out with something to prove. They could have won all of the games they have lost since the All star break but they gave it up in the 4th.

I hope Bob Sura will be back, I'm gonna go with my heart and say they pull this one out.

A definite loss, unless we have same crazy shooting day as the last time we met, . We still have no answer for Dirk, and Finley will kill us this time. Don't forget Mavs is a very good rebounding team and Dampier always defends Yao well.

119 : 90 Mavs win

Man, our schedule is brutal next week. Mavs, Sonics, Phx and Kings. We could lose all of them and in the position of fighting for the playoff booth by the end of next week.

 

Dirk goes off for 50 again. Whenever he plays us, his eyes light up.

 

Pretty sure Dampier's out

 

We are due but who knows.

 

*It's going to come down to how well our backcourt defends their backcourt.
*We all know Dirk will probably go off for 40, that's fine as long as T-Mac can cancel that out.
*Yao has to have a big game since he'll be having bench players on him the whole time.

But when push comes to shove aside from Dirk who will blow up, their backcourt is absolutely loaded. They have good scorers and great depth. Our backcourt needs bring their A-game defensively otherwise they're going to shoot us out of the gym.

 

I feel good about this one, a win by over ten points. Crazy, uh?

 

Dampier is out with stress fracture to his foot.

I would say Yao will be a monster after all the rest he has gotten in the last TWO games and then the couple of days off.....BUT! He will most likely be in foul trouble again....

Time for the other guys to step it up.

1 more week till SURA!

I wish this game was next sunday, not this week. Then I would be attending the game.

 

I thinking about going to the game, has anyone had any luck with moving down from the upper level? There are always a ton of empty seats.

 

I really hope we win this one. Yao is key.

Just in case we lose, I've compiled a handy list for the over-agitated.

Mark 'X' in each box that applies

[ ]- God, we really need Sura back.
[ ]- Yao sucks at rebounding
[ ]- Mike James is shooting too much, I don't care if it's over 60%.
[ ]- Moochie killed us....again and again and again.
[ ]- Tmac isn't playing hard enough and doesn't take over when he can.
[ ]- Yao sucks, let's trade him for Mihm.
[ ]- JVG is a horrible coach with no offensive capability
[ ]- Stupid yao, why can't he stop getting fouls
[ ]- we should have gotten Payton instead of James
[ ]- freakin' Falsone, he's the reason we keep on losing
[ ]- Wesley is worthless, he can't make ANY of his shots.
[ ]- We need a new power forward who can play defense.
[ ]- Let's trade the whole team
[ ]- the francis-tmac trade is looking better for Orlando now.
[ ]- our rebounding sucks, trade T-mac for Swift
[ ]- How can we lose to a team like Dallas????
[ ]- Stupid refs, if I could eat their children, I would
[ ]- I think Rockets fan have to decide whether they want to suffer through the travails of Yao developing into a good NBA player or win now.
[ ]- Shutup Charvo!!!!


Hope that will make things easier in case we lose.

 

We will win.

112-105

Chemistry is back and JVG lets a smile accidently slip during the 4th qtr. as we go up by 12 with a minute to go. Dallas scores 5 garbage points on their last 2 possessions but we win.

Wake up, wake up, ohhh

 

Got to break this funk and start winning again. I think we can pull it out. Yao just has to get aggressive underneath.

He should have the advantage at C, but it might be stickman Bradley guarding him tonight.

 

Well if Sura plays (610 reporting that he could come off the IL and play on Sunday) then I think we will win. If Sura doenst play I fell like we wil again fall apart in the 4th and lose a close one.
