ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Clippers 12/17/2005

55??? Are you serious man, The clippers don't suck that much. lol

 

Tracy McGrady has spoken on this matter.

 

This is a real test. it will show where we truly are in there bigger schem of things. our primeter defense needs to be ready because if they are not, sammy and cat will torch us something chronic

 

meh this one is close... too close to call. We're on a rise, they're on a skid. I can definately see us losing this one. It's all about heart for the rockets... and we don't have DA either. I can see t-mac having a mediocre game say... 21/5/4 and yao getting something like... 25/12/2.... but here's my score prediction:

Clips 97
Rox 91

 

Bump.

 

Maggettes not playing and theyre on a 3 game losing streak...ROCKETS WIN

 

I can't wait for the game today. The Rockets have found thier swagger and I expect a close game today but a Rockets win nontheless. Go Rockets!!!

 

I predict clipper's youth and athleticism gave us trouble in the beginning. They lead going into 3rd quarter. Then the Rockets are gonna turn up their defense and choke the life out of the clippers, and we go on a run to close out the 3rd quarter to be up by 3. Then we blow the clippers out of the water by limit them to just 15 points and we score 34 points in the 4th to beat the clippers.

 

I predict we win because today is my farging birthday!

 

This is going to be a tough game. Their strength is our weakness and Kaman does a good job of fouling Yao without getting whistled.

 

first blow out win of the season.

102-76

i love these earlier games, it makes the waiting for a game to come on so much easier. The only bad thing is that as a rockets fan, you have nothing to look forward to the rest of the day. good thing theres a back 2 back.

 

I think this could be a potential big game for Swift. Don't see Howard getting minutes as he probably doesn't have much of a chance against Brand. If Swift can get a couple of blocks on him, and realy work on the defensive end, and limit him to around 18-20 points, I'd be happy.

Rockets win

98-92

 

This should be a good game. Cat will try to prove he's better than T-mac and make 1 of 10 from the 3-pt line. The Rox prevail 102-98.

 

I watched the Clips against the Spurs the other night and they are for real. Brand is much improved & in incredible shape - much quicker. Sam I Am, even at 35, is the glue and leader they have needed.

What the Rox have done on the road, minus 4 guards including all PG's, is truly remarkable. Can't wait to see them when/if everyone is healthy.

I think this game goes down to the wire. Not expecting a W...but then I wasn't expecting us to be 4-0 so far on this road trip!

This is going to be the most awesome game yet this season.

Clippers are for real and they are despearate to reclaim their new-found elite status. They have quick, smart guards who always give us trouble. Brand is a handfull and could get us in deep trouble if Yao is forced to help out on double teaming him.

On the other hand, when our team is playing its game, I fear no team in the NBA with the exception of Spurs and Pistons. The two-man game between McGrady and Yao cannot be stopped. Period.

Houston 89
Clippers 88

 

Rockets win. 91:89

 

Clippers are Clippers. They will find a way to lose and we have their numbers.

102:88 Rox

 

Rockets 96
Clippers 92

 

Hate to ask the same old question again, but will this game be available live on PPstream or PPlive? Seems like CCTV 5 granted protesters wish and decided to only play the recorded game at a later time
I remember that there is another program brought up by a poster here but I cannot recall the exact name of the program, it's called Syncast or something similar which will have NBT TV channel available, would someone kindly help me on that one?
Much appreciated!
Oh yeat 102- 98 Rockets!
