ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Mavericks 4/25/2005 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 2)

Man, the unsung hero was Sura.

But T-Mac proved this series so far that he IS by far the best all-around player in the league.

His passing kept us in the game, he would have made Jason Kidd proud.

I don't know what to say about this kid, because words really can't describe it.

McGrady in the post game conference now is saying that JVG wanted to call a timeout, but McGrady told him "No! Don't call a timeout." JVG agreed, and then McGrady went and told Yao to set a "weakside PnR" for him so he can take the shot.

So add another thing to McGrady's resume: crunchtime coach

McGrady also said in the post-game conference that Dirk's struggles have to do with what he calls "Rockets defense"

Both him and Yao were asked if they agree with Magic's assessment that if they continue to play like this they would go all the way to the Finals, and just to be funny because Yao had already answered this Q "I agree", McGrady smiled and said "I agree"

 

"We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight!" We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!"

YEWAHHAHAHHQHAHHAHH!

 

That is the difference b/w bradley and Yao. Yao would have challenged. Bradley ducked.

Bradley wasn't that bad a player. He was drafted No.2 pick.

 

I would normally agree about being worried, but we have to remember TMac has been in this position to only lose the series, so I dont think he will let this team let up. I think JVG is the best coach to have in this position as well cause he will coach as if its the 7th game of the Finals no matter what.

I'm not saying that this series is donem but I like our chances. Dallas has to beat us 4 of 5 (3 of which are in Houston) to wn this series. The way we are playing, that's tough!

 

I'm speechless. We're witnessing a thing of beauty here.

 

i bet rockets add 1 hundred million diehard fans today in china.
i go out my company and find foot right now.i find about 30+ middleshool students bear to a drink store to a game look.I entertain my best sweet game with them.

 

Aside from T-Mac getting open on that play, Yao scored easy buckets rolling to the basket after pick and roll with T-Mac, that's what I have been talking about, incorporating Yao into guards play to give the big fella some systematic easy points! Get Yao going with easy points and ride on him!

 

We made out like BANDITS in the TMac trade. BANDITS!!!! WOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

TMac is really looking like a player who can lead this team all the way!!

 

Did any of you catch Avery Johnson's post-game news conference? They asked him about what they planned to do defensively on the last play....his quote was "we normally run a trap in that situation, but we just forgot to do that." YOU FORGOT??? Hey rook coach , thanks for forgetting, so we can put you and your team out of your misery!

 

Besides the TMAC DUNK, and the TMAC GAME WINNER,

This was classic:

 

ha ha ha..it was funny that dikeme mutombo ESCORTED TMAC off the court after the game...he was like telling everybody "go go go.." telling them to get into the locker room

 

We lost the next 2 at home in that series before winning on their floor again and finally winning one on our home floor.

Let's hope we don't have any more games in Dallas this season.

By the way, we are 4-0 against Dallas in 2005.

DD

 

I hope the Dallas fans are DEMORALIZED.....
TMAC ripped their hearts out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

What can I say ...


... Yao got a huge right shoe!

 

All is well in Rocket land

 

No wonder KVH has been traded to so many teams, he is soft. Glad AJ put him in, KVHs poor play helped the Rox win this one. That last score by T-Mac should have been contested by KVH, you could see that screen coming and he should have been on that spot contesting that shot.

Now lets get home, rest and come out with more intensity next game. Great, great game ROX.

 

Sura looks like he's going to faint.

 

Enjoy their pain.

Thank you to all our shooters for bringing back Clutch City! This is the happiest I've been for like a decade. Barry and Sura, those two had so many Clutch 3's tonight, so big! I said before the game that if we were gonna win, Yao had to step up and have a BIG game, and he did just exactly that. 13-14, 7-7 ft's (right?), does it get any more Clutch then that? WOOO! And, of course, T-Mac with the dagger! CLUTCH CITY!!!!! never dies!
