ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Mavericks 5/2/2005 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 5)

Well we can still pull this out! Believe!!

 

make your damn free throws..we are going to need them!!!!

 

they are determined to take Yao out of the game. Period.

I can't say enough, I have NOW no confidence in NBA officiating.

The officating must encouraging good basketball, not the other way.

 

Screw it YAO, if that little b*stard Stern won't let you play, just come out swinging, at least we'll go out with dignity!

 

Come on we have made our runs always in the 4th quarter...we have been here before and pulled it out lets do it again.....

 

Yao has got to make that free throw.

Rockets should be encouraging Daniels to take any shot outside of 15 feet.

Hey, Barry figures out how to make a shot again. Lead down to 7.

 

regardless the outcome of the game or the series. I am full of hope for next season,

Just look at our stars

they are collected.

look at Yao when he comes in, composed and determined

 

I haven't seen reffing this bad since Lakers-Kings in 2002.

 

The role players haven't contributed worth **** since the first 2 games.

It is no coincidence that when they played well in the first 2 games, we won. But now, I think Barry would be lucky to be back next year. I can see the Rockets going for a young backcourt player next season.

Chandler and Johnson wouldn't be bad

 

The way Stern will handle that will be by banning him from the NBA instead of just a normal suspension...don't you know that's how they do that to the Rockets?

 

Forget the officiating. Those last two plays were what won games 1 and 2. TMac & Yao working together for an easy shot and a guard (Barry,in this case) hitting an open shot. It's on us if we lose. The calls have been even.

 

You gotta give James credit.

 

You guys are all talking like we have already been eliminated (hope Les has deep pockets, we need a power forward in the off season etc.). Even if Dallas pull this one out (which until the final buzzer, I still believe Houston can win) they still have to win one more game.

C'mon guys - BELIEVE!!!!

 

YOur already throwing in the towel? what's up with that? God this pisses me off/.

 

i love barry!!

this summer we don't need to target a 4 and a 1, we need a 4 and a 2. wesley proved that he is not a championship level starter.


right now i would take sprewell out there guarding stackhouse or finley, and he would finish the fast breaks that wesley blew.

 

If Yao is being fronted, you P-n-R with Tracy. That's what we've been doing ALL season to get Yao open. Why the hell are we going away from that now

 

Did you see No's face when he fouled Yao and Yao scored anyway? Not really whiney...just shock...even on the bench when they called time out he had a beaten look to him. That is the key now. Get Yao the ball, let him throw it down on Nowitzski a few times. They will be beaten down like the dogs they are...

 

KISS OF DEATH!

 

Yao needs to get at least 6 shots this quarter...Rockets need to make the Mavs pay for playing Dirk at center...of course, Mavs bring Dampier back in the game after the timeout.

 

it wouldn't be possible either.
