ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Nuggets 1/12/2007

I did say previously that we had to work hard for a win. Steve Blake!!?? He was lighting it up. Camby had a near career game.

 

Ugly win, but I'll take it. Great passing by TMac and terrific clutch shooting by Battier. I wish we shot our free throws better and boxed out better. Still, the Rockets win another game without Yao.

 

nice win....would have been an awful loss. i think denver looked like the worst team we've played this season. they may be a complete trainwreck with melo also in the mix.

way to bail us out shane.

 

T-MAC SUCKED IT UP SHOOTING IT BUT OWNED IT UP PASSING.

SHANE BATTIER, THY NAME IS SAVIOUR.

The role players stepping up when T-Mac was playing bad and Yao is out!!

I love it!

ONE QUESTION

WHERE THE **** WAS THAT DEFENSIVE INTENSITY ALL GAME? THE ONE WE SHOWED AT THE END. HAD WE HAD THAT ALL GAME IT WOULDN'T HAVE EVEN BEEN A GAME.

Sorry i'm pretty happy/relieved/mad right now.

Go Rockets! Go Shane!

 

A loss from LA will be even sweeter

 

Great win by the Rockets!

Juwan, Howard, & Battier - hats off to you guys!!!

TMac - what can I say!

Rafer - you are the weakest link .

 

TMac only had 12 points but he made it up in other ways. I loved how he passed the ball. He had a very good game.

 

It's live or death on the triple. Shane is the man.

 

What a game! Great trade made by CD.

 

OMG!! We won!!! This game is like a Brooklyn strike in bowling......it's ugly, but the rules say you have to take it!

 

i'll admit, i didn't see your point about karl not adjusting. i only saw you putting that play on the hands of karls mistake rather than a good call by JVG.

my fault for that. thanks for explainging.

 

actually walton is right. even the first play of the game, walton (about rafer): look at rafer jacking up a 3 pter before getting his teammates involved.

win is a win.

 

Hell no he wasn't. He played excellent D on Iverson in the second half. He had a hand up in his face on every shot.

 

R2K, 3 suggestions for the highlights:

1 Don't do them. This sorry game against an awful team doesn't deserve them.

If you do them,

2 Just do Shane.
or
3 Skip to when it's 83-78 Nuggets and show the 12-3 closing run.

 

I have never said he does't make adjustments just that he is slow to make em.

Witness tonight as the zone was killing the offense, all you have to do is move a high post threat to the FT line and work from there.

It took him all game to move Tmac there......but the team won....so.....

DD

 

well, because tmac is tmac, and coaches think that they have a better chance of winning without him in the equation, so they try to neutralize him by double and triple teaming him. the problem for karl today was that tmac always found the open man, and said open man hit his shots. BATTIER!!!

 

i absolutley love how your 1000th post on clutchfans was a criticism of Rafer!
it was totally funny though!!!!

CONGRATS ON NUMBER 1,000
and yay for the win!

​

 

Trade T-Mac for AI thread is a joke. Go Rox!! I love this team.

 

Shane the Pain. That should be his new nickname. He has been bringing pain to the other teams. WOW what a player. 25 pts. Shane the Pain.

 

Walkin away a winner!!
