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

I only attend a handful of games in any season but over 20 years they've never lost lost one that I've attended. Take this one to the bank.

 

You should go to more games!! Anyway, I am predicting a loss but I am hoping I am wrong.

 

hey i won pretty handily against them in nba live 2005

how hard can it be?

Rockets: 120

Mavericks: 99

send them back on the train they came in on!

again.... hold the applause.

 

Michael Finley - Left calf contusion

 

Rockets come roaring back out of their recent slump to whoop Dallas. T-Mac gets a near triple double. Since its a nationally televised game on ABC, the refs are pressured into not calling BS fouls on Yao, who ends up scoring 25+. Rockets shoot 50% from the field. Wesley hits 4/8 from three point range.
Rockets 100, Dallas 80.

 

GATER, since you will be there live I think we will all be expecting some of your expert analysis on the board when you get home.

 

Yao fouls out in the 2nd on national TV.

But rockets win anyway due to Dallas injuries.

JVG cannot hide his happiness.

 

I can't watch the game. Can someone please post the audio link here?

 

Yao picks up his first foul...we've only played a minute

 

that sick perverted wounded Ming is back aanother dummy foul.

good news is no Dirk.

 

Nowitzkis out? uh oh, the refs are going to do their best to make sure the game stays close for the national audience.

 

Howard elbowing?? LOL

 

We need to up the intensity... Dallas is pretty soft, but we're still letting them do what they want on offense, and we're "taking what the defense gives us" when we have the ball.

Lets force the issue a little... push the ball.

 

alright with yao and tracy both on the bench james took two shots to beat the shot clock there but i know some will say he took too many shots and should pass to bowen or mutumbo
in those situations.

 

What kind of lineup is JVG playing with? its terrible! why is Juwan our numero uno option

 

McGrady got a cut on his chin, and he's getting treatment for it.

 

i didn't know that..hope he comes back soon because I cant stand this

 

Mavs are hanging in despite not having Dirk, Finley and Dampier. The Mavs aren't playing great, the Rox are just letting them hang around. I expect that we will pull away, when they fatigue and our starters go back in.

 

Or when the Rockets wake up... everybody looks half-asleep out there (which is reasonable, since this is a really early game).

McGrady back in.

 

Man... its so quiet in the TC that I was able to hear the voices of both Cuban and Nellie very clearly (as they were complaining as usual).
