ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Heat 11/10/2005

Rockets win period....

First period...

 

rockets win...finally.


oh yeah...its the heat....hmmmm....

I forsee them shooting themselves in the foot all game long. and some how we squeek out with an ugly win.

 

Yay, maybe single coverage for Yao. Might have a remote chance to win...


If we can shoot better than 40%....

 

I need a break already. I'm not watching this one, I don't need any more pain. And one thing you can absolutely count on, more pain. Heat by 20-30 or worse.

 

its amazing how much different of a team we are without mcgrady in the lineup, add to that the fact that we never seem to play well in florida:
rockets:82
heat: 97

 

If you think Yao played bad last two games, then wait for this one. Yao has always had trouble with physical/dirty players, and AM is one of those players. Yao will be intimidated this game, shoot below 50% with less than 15pts, <8rbs. A "trade Yao" thread will be started in the middle of this game.

Prediction: we loss by 12

 

Rockets get the road trip off to a good start.

Rockets 91
Heat 83

 

want to say it's going to be a win but i'm not so confident. and i hate to predict a loss, so i'll just shut up.

 

as with all my predictions, they're 100% accurate


so rockets win 98-81

 

This will get ugly in a hurry.

Heat 97
Rockets 82

 

i predict Yao willl shove the ball down Zo's throat

 

Another ugly game but we come out on top.

Roxs 78
Heat 73

 

I second that, not necessary scoring wise. But without TMac, if we want to win, we have to win ugly. We just can't exchange offense with them. An ugly win, here we go!

 

AM wont front Yao and Yao will dominate AM. Yao can make about 20pts.

Prediction: we win by 3.

 

No one can match up Wade, and Yao loses his confidence. A blow-out loss to Rockets.

OR

Yao will himself out of the slump and single-handely lead Rockets to a 1 point win.

 

Only thing different than the last two games is instead of getting beat by 2-7 points by mediocre teams is that we get killed by a squad with a lot of good players. Miami will pack the lane and swarm Yao and dare us to make our outside shot, we will shoot air balls and clang the rim and lose our 3rd game in a row.

 

Our guards are slow of foot, and can't shoot and Yao gets smothered.

Heat 86
Rocks 77

DD

 

We may be able to sneak out an ugly win but only because Miami seems to be having adjustment issues right now also. Do they have any shimpy point guards to kill us with driving tear drops?
Either way I'm not worried, I would like it more if we got off to a great start right out of the gate, but this team is going to get better and the extra touches Yao is getting now will pay off in the long run. But I think this is going to be a long road trip we may lose all five considering the only team ripe to be beaten will catch us on the second night of a back to back.

 

First blowout of the year, no need to get punked in fourth quarter.
