ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Heat 10/25/2006 (PRESEASON)

Since Wade and Shaq sat out tonight against the Magic, I assume they will be playing on Wednesday.

 

I watched the Miami game on League Pass today and noticed that they rested Shaq, Wade, Jason, and Haslem. This could be due to the fact that they play back to back and will face Rockets tomorrow on ESPN. This might be a very intense and interesting match, considering its still just a preseason game.

Edit: I guess A_3PO and I were thinking on the same page.

 

I disagree preseason games will not be intense not matter if teams are big rivals

 

id love to see yao vs shaq matchup, shuold be good for yao to show everyone whose the best centre in the league , we've been hyping up v-spans aggressive D but lets see how it really handles against someone of d-wades caliber and also hopefully will see the defense hassle novak and force him to show us if any has any ability other than spotting up for wide open looks.

Sounds asif bonzi will get some time on the court from JVG's comments, interesting to see how the team chemistry works with him being out of alot of practices and no preseason games, he is a vet after all and hopefully will slide in with ease.

i hope all the players can put up a solid performance, tmac has been a bit sloppy but thats okay, but i REALLY want to see snyder and yao DOMINATE this game, snyder has put a few good games under his belt, with some things he could improve, i dont know i just have a really good feeling about him and really hopes he rises up for an amazing performance. As for Yao, i just want to see him own shaq because i know he can lol.

 

yao will get crushed by shaq again and tmac will get clowned by dwade. rox lose big. also, you guys will realize who the true novak is when he goes back to his 2nd round pick self. out of control vspan will have trouble keeping the turnovers under 10. but I think juwan and bowen will have good games.

 

YAO/TMAC will get an overwhelming victory over DWADE/SHAQ!!
115-90!!
GO Rockets!

 

I'll watch on CH 51, bad picture and all. Cause I can't stand it the way those espn guys spray their shorts over Dwayne Wade and Shaq and slant all the comments in the Heat's (or ANY Rockets opponent's) favor.

 

but if its on espnhd??? if u have the chance mute the tv and listen to the radio broadcast of the game.

apparently the game will be on espn hd (espn ticker said it was on espn hd) so i figure the game to be broadcast in hd even though dish networks info on the game says otherwise

 

LOL, all Bowen needs for a good game is to score 2 pts.

 

I just hope that T-Mac will have a good shooting game.

Rockets win by 15 . Go Rockets !!

 

shaq hasn't seen the new and improved yao yet. it doesn't really matter who wins the game but i'd like to see yao show him what it's like.

 

HAH! u have high standards for him then, if bowen has less than 10 turnovers and only lets the person his guarding score less than 30 points and takes less than 20 rebounds then his done better than i expected

 

Time for Yao to shine!!!

 

Yao will make Shaq look silly. GO YAO!

 

I say the stars of the Heat will play due to the fact of it being on ESPN, then again you never know.

 

This will be my first time to see Rockets on big screen this season. Can't wait. Want to see Tracy get his rhythm back and the chemistry between 1 and 11.

 

Don't expect too much out of the game. Yao will play hard by nature to try and get back into shape. I hope bonzi actually plays. I know that he is not up to his fitness level, but I think playing into shape is the best way. Its not like Yao took that long from his toe nail before he came back. I believe it was only 2 days apart when he first began training and his preseason game. I don't see Shaq and Wade doing too much, same goes for T-mac.

 

Thats whats impotant to me, getting Bonzi integrated with the rest of the team, getting him him into game shape and basically prepping him for the start of the season. A win would be nice also..
