ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Hawks 3/12/2008

I know but I can't find any information about it on the NBA website. I am just trying to make sure the information is valid.

 

I did some searching and it seems like Horford was suspended back in December 2007 and Pachulia was suspended in January. I do not see anything current. I guess the FOX page is only mentioning the history of the 2007-2008 team stats.

 

So because there is an S, they are automatically suspended? Sweet!

 

The streak continues at 20...and the double digit win streak continues as well...

Rox: 107

Hawks: 95

GO ROCKETS!!!

 

Rockets -5.5 translates to the Rockets winning by at least 5.5. It is equal to Atlanta +5.5.

 

Me and my Brother will be there yellin!

 

The Hawks have beat some pretty good teams at home this season, and they're clawing and scratching for that eighth spot. I'll say the double digit streak ends, but we'll still win.

 

No 'Rockets -5.5' means the Rockets are favored by 5.5. points. The bookies think it will be a closer than usual game for us.

 

This is tough road game as the Hawks are quite formidable at home. I just hope we are not underestimating them and will not to be complacent. Saying that, LET'S BRING DOWN THE HAWKS FOR NO. 20!!!

 

20 wins all day baby all day

 

Guys....do you know of a live feed I can use to watch the game online? I have to travel to Louisiana tonight.

Let's go 20!!!!

 

I think this will be a tough game. We will prevail with our DEFENSE, and T-Mac will drop 40points.

Lets make history

Go Rockets!

 

The bettors out there think Hawks will win! 62% of the action is on Hawks to win straight up. Even though its only +180 for Hawks win. And the line is only Houston -5.5. Vegas thinks we are going to have trouble tonight.

 

ROX are 19-11 on the road, Hawks are 19-12 at home. They don't look all that formidable(spelling?). We don't need to worry about under or over estimating teams. We are the fans and we are supposed to just support and believe in the Rockets......

 

Here is the record of the 1993-94 Rockets 15 games streak. Got it from the Hawks' board, not sure about its accuracy so take it for what it's worth. Looks like they didn't exactly blow out teams like the current streak. 5 of those 15 wins came with less than 4 points of margin. So I say the 2007-2008 team is having a stronger momentum.

The interesting thing is our last streak was ended by Atlanta. So if we lose to them tonight history just repeated itself. Otherwise we will make history!

Nah, Horford was suspended a few months ago for almost ending TJ Ford's career with a flagrant foul. Guess they figure no need to update the Hawks page. Sad, really. That team underachieves big time. I mean their starting five is solid. It is past time for Coach Woodson to go. Think of what a Larry Brown of JVG could do for that team.

 

Limit Joe Johnson and Mike Bibby's influence on the game and the Rockets will continue to roll.

Go Rox!
