ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Mavericks 2/9/2007

Wow, clutch must have been pumped by this game. It's still 2 days till the game.
Never the less, we will cage some horses.

 

Dallas got lucky last game. Dam George but this one we should win. Gonna be a very good game! Lets hope Rockets show up. Also these two are top defensive teams.

HOU: 95
DAL: 88

 

I really want to know how do Jeff think?Why not make Kirk play and make Vassill more showtime?

 

I really don have a good feeling abt this.
The mavs are doing so well this season,but they get lost in All Star vote badly. It's in their territory, sure they will do their best to insult us.
Hope ROX won't lose too much. My guess is
Mavs 110 : Rox 98

 

We win in Dallas on Friday then in H-Town next Thursday and are instantly within the level of the top 3 in the league with no doubt in anyone's mind.

I just hope we win one of the next 2 against the Mavs, that should be fine.

 

Beat the Mavs, save a bunch of cows. 110-108 Rox!

 

Mavs are better than the Rockets, especially without Yao.

Mavs 105
Rockets 94

No doubt, Mavs have more talent and more depth, but I think the Rockets win this one with a stiffling defensive performance and TMac having a career night. Josh Howard concerns me the most even more than Dirk and Terry, but the Rockets are in sync and rolling. Why not?

 

I think its finally time for the Rockets to beat the Mavs.

 

It has been awhile since the Rockets have won in Dallas. McGrady brings his A game and the Rockets pull the upset.

 

Rox 110 Mavs 109

 

They're not unbeatable. I'll be pissed if someone comes up and scores triple their average again(George)

 

The Rockets need to be more balanced in the 1st half and keep it close. Then Tracy can take over later in the game instead of the beginning. If we are to win, Tracy must dominate the 4th quarter, not the 1st half.

 

Rockets Win
Dallas Sucks
Dirk sucks
Jason Terry Sucks
As a matter of fact the whole teams sucks
I hate Dallas
Rockets Win

 

Its 9:01 A.M. and the Mavs still Suck...

Tough road game, and I'll be in Houston, but we pull it out...

Rox: 95

Mavs: 93

 

Rox win, 97-94.

I expect a pretty close one, hopefully this team can pull it out- I think we showed last time that we can beat the Mavericks, even without Yao.

 

We definitely don't won't Tmac having career night and having his back go out again. Everybody has to step up. Bonzi has to play and play well. A little touch of snyder will help to match the mavs size. Good defense will propel the Rockets to victory.

 

i dont think that will happen again (the back thing) it seems he is getting more and more comfortable with it and the mental block is going away.

what i dont want to happen is how last time tmac went crazy and it ended up the rest of the players stood around. i cant remember how many times rafer,luther,battier,howard had open shots tmac set them up for but they didnt take it and gave the ball back to tmac since he was so on fire. once tmac cooled off a bit they still played that way and it ultimately led to the dallas victory. their offensive energy went down and then so did their defensive energy.

 

I really feel good about this one. Win.

 

I love the Rockets and all dat but um....

Lets be real.

Gundy is doing a great job.

T-Mac can be considered possible MVP candidate.

The team plays great defense.

The team has GREAT chemistry.

But the team is missing Yao. That right there won't allow us to get over the hump against against the big boys.

Rockets lose...

105-96
