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

JL3: 0 assist in 9 minutes of playing as a freakin' Point Guard

What the heck has he learned? Did the midget become JVG's pet or what?

 

other guys had to step up.after t-mac scored 16 points early on,the mavs double him and make him give up the ball which he did...shots just were not going in...rafer ,luther shane ,howard have to shoot well to let t-mac go 0ne on one..the mavs just freezed t-mac and made others guys beat them.well its done now..we'll see them on feb 15

 

great news, Hawks 110: SUN 101 , 1:18 left, seems SUN gonna lose.

 

exactly.

atleast he looked better tonight. maybe that will get him a solid 10 mins next time.

 

Deke's knee still hurts. That's why he did not grab many rbs today.

 

bad loss, we're not gonna shoot this bad every night, the same way we're not gonna shoot well every night sometimes.

dallas is one of the few teams who can double tmac effectively b/c when they go small, they can basically switch up easily on the perimeter.

the role players MUST make shots for us to win next week. tmac played good i think. but again, this was w/o yao and bonzi. w/ yao and bonzi, u can't double tmac the way dallas did. that was sam mitchelll-type of double team, where tmac is doubled on basically every play.

avery is the best coach in the L man. he has destroyed JVG everytime.

 

Yes, you are talking the one after Vspin was knocked on the floor. He made. What is the question?

 

What is Van Gundy's rule on who shoots the technicals?

 

I see, I know what you mean.

 

This morning, CD was talking on the 610 about the trade. He said he did not want to do it, because he did not want disrupt the team chemistry. After this loss, I think CD may change his mind. Also CD mentioned he would remain Rox as some kind jobs after this year.

 

We will win tomorrow night and all will be well, then we get the Mavs at home and win there too.

One game people, it is only one game and without one of our superstar players.

DD

 

I personally think that with Yao, we match up really well against the Mavs, but without him, it is a struggle. With Yao, you have the one guy that Dallas has no answer for just like we usually have little answer for Nowitzki. Yao also forces the game to slow down, something that doesn't work well for Dallas.

 

please CD, just GO!

 

OMG! holy cow- DADA is being.... positive lol

 

the playoffs will be unbelievable if rox get to meet the mavs again.

let's see how the chips fall, all i ask is to get a chance to see that matchup

 

rox had better put the beat down on the bobcats.

against mavs, hope the rowdies are in FULL force. get the crowd really amped up

 

yeah, all 10,000 of them...

 

right now we are in a perfect position...
we play Jazzhole 1st round which is the easiest matchup out of the top 4

The Mavs will play a super Run n Gun series with Nuggets and will be dead tired by the time they face us in the second round.

i can see the Spurs beat the suns because the Spurs will turn up eight notches by the time the playoff comes.

Which sets up the biggest battle between the big men since Olajuwon vs. Robinson:
YAO MING vs TIM DUNCAN

*and who ever wins the West can basically take the Finals Trophy home, too
==============
BUT before all of these....
WE NEED TO WIN AND NOT LET THE LAKERS COME CLOSE! if u go to lakersground.net u can see the laker fans are all praying us to drop a few games

 

This was a BIG GAME. They knew it, we knew it. The Rockets know that the Mavs have more talent. They knew that they would have to play "lock down" defense and shoot the lights out to win. Blow it off if you want, but it was a dress rehearsal. Both team played poorly, but the Rockets froze and that is not a good sign. Big game teams make big game shots. Very disappointing. Beating the midgets of the league is fun for awhile, but you have to prove your metal with the big boys. This was a winnable game.

 

Solid...

If the Rockets win the next time they meet by...lets say 20pts...or lets say a win without Yao...are we back in the good graces with you and does that mean that we can win big games also? Will it prove our mettle with the big boys?

Or...

Will it just be one win in a very long regular season?
