ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Mavericks 5/7/2005 (Playoffs Round 1, Game 7)

I agree with everything, except for the "young" part, haha. I love Mutumbo, but any team with him on it just can't be considered young. Otherwise, we gotta play to win it, can't go out there trying not to lose or else we're toast. Hopefully the bench will bring it just like last game, a lot of the outcome rests on them.

 

We all know it comes down to the 4th QTR....every game has. It's almost like the first 3 quarters could be skipped.

Anyone else finding that their stomach's are a little knoted up? Last time I felt this way was Game 6 vs. Utah in the Matt Maloney era

 

dude.....yes.

They were just interviewing Mcgrady and he's laughing and just relaxed as can be. Its like he was born for this. Meanwhile, Nitwitzki ignored his media relations guy and walked right pass the media guys and went to the court to practice shooting.

I agree with the 4th quarter part but why bring up the MM word? That fool hit a buttload of 3s vs the Sonics in a series so he gets signed for a 7-years at stupid money (for him). Then he spends the bulk of that guaranteed contract not with the Rockets but still getting paid by them, working out, playing sporadically and (true story) kissing my wife in a bar. I wanna break my foot off in Maloney's ass as a husband and as a Rockets fan.

(of course she did "keep me up pretty damned late" that night, so I guess after kicking his ass, I should probably thank him)

 

I'll make out with your wife if it means helping you get some. Always looking to help out my fellow man. heck I'll even grope her if that means you will get a longer night with her

 

She and I are split up now, so you can grope her all you want. Just don't do it in my house. Or in front of my kids.

 

thats too bad, wanna go for a reunion with her? I just gotta bust ou the chapstick and breathmint first

 

Naw man, reunion is probably not in the cards. We get along much, much better now that we don't live together, and that harmony is better for the kids than living in a constantly-tense house.

Go make out with someone else's wife. I can't help ya.

 

Three words: who wants it!? It is going to get rough. Mental toughness will win this one. Resolve, control, determination, passion. Got to love it! Wish I could play; I would punch out Howard and get tossed. Fifteen seconds of fame!!!

 

HAVE FAITH MY BRETHREN!!!

 

First piece of good news: Pacers are blowing out Boston so no overtime means TNT will show the Houston-Dallas game in its entirety.

 

Atleast there will be no overtime in this trash celts game. I've got my lucky throwback on it's time to win!

Sort of wished that Boston won instead. What are the odds that two road teams will win a game seven on the same day? Not good.

 

I don't think so. If Pacers can beat Boston by 27 on road, why can't we do the same thing? I only need Rockets to beat Mavericks by 1. That's DOABLE!

GO ROCKETS!

 

let get start the extermination of the flopperrick!!!!!!!!!!

 

I think the key players are Yao and Michael Finley. Tracy and Dirk of course are the bona fide stars of their respective teams and they are going to score their 30 points.

If you look back at the series, the "other" star for both teams have been inconsistent throughout the whole series - Yao for Houston and Finley for Dallas. Finley has had several subpar games as has Yao. Whoever has the better game of the two will be the team that wins this game.

In passing, i'd note that given Yao's inexperience in the playoffs and relative youth, it is a little excusable for Yao to have his occasional bad game. But I expected more out of Michael Finley this series, given the experience he has.

 

Rockets are starting Padgett instead of Bowen? Why?

 

Not good that Yao picks up his first foul within the first minute.

 

another cheapie foul. I wish the refs would just let them play, it's game 7 for crying out loud...Tracy! don't miss the FTs!!
