ClutchFans Game Thread: Mavericks @ Rockets 5/5/2005 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 6)

We've always played better when when were thought to be down and out...tonight will be no different. Plus, Dallas has gotten some unbelievable lucky breaks the past few games so that's due to change as well.

Rockets by 13

 

Is the game at 730 or 830 because clutch says 730 and espn said 930 eastern did they move it back an hour?? Rockets win behind Tmac and Yao's pick n roll.

 

Game starts at 8:30.....Clutch says that the GAME CHAT starts at 7:30

 

We will Conquer the Mav and Ref all the way ...
[h2]I believe![/h2]

 

Uhhh, not to burst your bubble Panda but Avery Johnson & the Mavs fully expect the Rockets to concentrate on running that play because it appears to be the only one that is effective against their smallball lineup. One offensive play won't win this game - better offensive play from the Rockets bench will. And the past 3 games suggest that tonight's result won't be much different because the Dallas bench is younger, faster and better.

 

I can't stand David Stern, Mark Cuban, or the Mavericks.

I have never wanted to the Rockets to win a game as badly as tonight.

I feel like this city is about to explode. I want to hear the thunder in the TC tonight from the crowd.

MAVERICKS MUST FALL!

 

this how we gonna do this...
BLEEP dirk. BLEEP cuban. BLEEP the mavs as a team, organization, and as a mothaBLEEPIN crew..and if u wanna be down with the mavs, BLEEP U too...DAVID STERN, BLEEP U TOO!!!

2pac lives on! GO ROCKETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Clutch City III TONIGHT!

 

JVG's really had a miserable Monday. Don't worry guys, remember what happened last time something like this happened to him.

Yao will make 20 dunks and foul out. 3 fouls for pounding his chest and 2 fouls for insulting smiles and the last foul is ..., oh right, his breath blows Marv and referees out of Toyato center. Final result, Rockets win the game and the whole team foul out and banned from NBA for millions years because Rockets fans are too quiet.

 

I dont really know what you just said but man did I like it.

 

I was thinking about this earlier. How disappointing would it be to lose this game at home? Considering the fact we have already lost 2 home playoff games already? I expect the crowd tonight to be louder than games 3 and 4 because of JVG's comments.

Would you give credit to Mavs for just being better, or would you completely blame the Rockets for not taking care of business.

Mavs may be better in a Game 7, but I don't see them as a killer instinct team, so if the Rockets lose tonight's game, then it will be because they didn't want it bad enough.

If the Rockets do not win this game tonight, I as a fan, will be really ticked off at them because I really feel that if the Rockets come out with 100% urgency, they will win easily.

Basically, the Rockets should be embarrased if they lose a third straight home game to the Mavs, and I would go so far as to call it a choke because the Mavericks are not THAT much better a team to beat the Rockets 3 straight times in Houston.

 

The anticipation is buliding fast. I find it hard to keep my thoughts on work as I toil in my office. Friends are calling in between business calls. "6 hours till GO TIME!" one of my buddy's yelled into the phone when i answered. "CLUTCH CITY RETURNS!" I yell in response as I get amused snickers from the secretary.

Something big is brewing in the bayou city tonight, can you feel it? Its a confidence, tempered with anger, etched with evolving superstars and solidified by a city rallying around a head coach and his players. Its the feeling you get when a city bonds with its sports team, the feeling I havent felt since 95.

There is a dream that is Clutch City III, and tonight, our Rockets take one step toward making that dream a reality.

DO IT.

 

Charge!!!

im GOIng oUT OF mY fREaKING mIND! i AM sO pSYcHED fOR thIS gAME to stART!!!!

 

C'mon Rox we've been here before as a city and a team.

Different cast of characters but same situation.

LETS GO ROX! DO OR DIE! ITS CLUTCHCITY OR NOTHIN!

 

Where do you work? I want to apply. Where I work, whole bunch of laker's fans and red sox fans.

 

Elvin Hayes thinks the Rockets will win the series (heard on 790.)

 

Yao will have a career night if refs let him play.

 

No matter what happens, I can't really blame the Rockets. This was a trying year. In spite of mostly a new cast of players this year, they have accomplished alot.

I expect the Mavs coming out hard and wanting to close this out. All fans should really watch how Tmac, Yao and company handle this onslaught. Only thing that could pull them out right now is heart. We will see how much of this they have.
