Steve is going to try and make a point. If the Rockets don't show up with any intensity, its going to be a long night.
Rockets lose Rocks - 90 Magic - 110 Steve has big night!!!tracy has big noght but tamc has no supports from no one!!
Actually, I think TMAC will destroy the Magic tonight. Although he has something to prove, I'm yet to really see him lose his cool and get consumed by something outside of the game. I'm not at all implying that he isn't going to have extra fire or motivation going into this game but TMAC is TMAC. He's a superstar player much different then Francis. Francis lets his emotions get the best of him and you can tell he's coming into this game with his head all messed up. He's still realing from the trade of Cuttino, and he still has all that rage against Houston for trading him. Trust me, that won't work in his favor. Hill is also playing with an injured wrist, something that bodes quite well for Houston. I'm not particularly concerned about being beat by Dwight Howard or the Wild Turkey. I think Yao comes to play tonight and has a very good game and combining that with the 35 plus I think TMAC has waiting for Orlando I think the Rockets pull this one out. TMAC will still allow this game to come to him while Francis will force the issue (like he did here) and subsequently hurt the Magic
I live in New Braunfels, Last night there was something about a Rockets 'Viewing' party at Silber and I10. I will be in Houston 2nite (on that side of town) and I don't see the Tread newhere, can someone give me some info? Thanks
Good News! Grant Hill MIGHT not play because of a sore right wrist, I don't think he will since he's thinking about resting it for an extended period of time. Still won't be easy by any means though, the Magic have won a handful of games without Hill being much of a factor and they came back against the Pistons with Hill on the bench the other night. Rebounding will be huge for the Rockets as usual, we keep up with them or outrebound them and we WILL win. http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/orl-bk-hill011905,1,3123713.story?coll=orl-sports-headlines
Do you have a link for that? The MRI came back negative and he was expected to play tonight, according to the AP. Did something change?
I dont often post in game threads...especially predicit9ing the outcome of a game before it is played....BUT... this one is just too predictable. Francis is going to light us up. Cato is gonna make Yao his betch and the Rockets will continue to lose.
http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/orl-bk-hill011905,1,3123713.story?coll=orl-sports-headlines Well, he says he MIGHT miss tonight's game, but he also says he might miss a lot of games because of it. It probably isn't 100%, my bad.
Steve will scorch us today... he wants to get revenge... Rox Lose by 20 points.. also, Steve finally dunks on Yao! \ I miss Francis...
My wishlist for tonight's game: 1. Rockets win. Nothing really matters if we lose. 2.Tracy Mcgrady's line: 20 pts 10 rebs 12 assists show the world he's not like what Wuss described: selfish. he could be indeed a team player and do whatever it takes to get the win. 3. Yao Ming's line: 36 pts 16 rebs 3 pfs give clutchcity some love Yao. In the rare case we lost, I don't wanna see: 1. Tracy Mcgrady scored 60 pts. Wuss would bash the **** out of him tomorrow. 2. Yao Ming sucked and fouled out. for the sake of clutchcity.net. The server would explode with all those trade Yao threads.
If Hill doesn't play (looks like it), there is no way for Magic to win. Francis will be all pumped up, but you know he will make those silly mental mistakes that cost Magic the game. Magic defense is very crappy too.
Any word on when Strickland will suit up? As much fun as everyone has had making cracks about his decrepitude, we may need another body at point soon. I know Rod is out of shape, but Sura's limp looked pretty bad last game and I don't know about Wesley and Barrett handling all the minutes at point.
I like this game. . . wish it was the NBA finals Francis v Sura Christie v Wesley Hill v. TMac? Howard v Howard *grin* Cato v Yao TurkeyGloo may hurt us alot . . .. Rockets 123 Magic 119 Double overtime Rocket River
I am willing to bet anybody on this message board, A BILLION KAZILLION JILLION DIZILLION DIZOLLARS that, if the Rockets get down at some point, or Orlando does well, TNT or whoever is doing the game cuts to a crowd shot during a timeout of some yahoo in Orlando gear with a homemade cardboard sign with the oh-so-creative-and-not-played-out slogan "Houston, we[you] have a problem!" blah.
