ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Nuggets 12/20/2007

right now life with them sucks also.........

 

Yao should have 25 shots every game.

 

Going on the road might be the best thing for this team right now. This could be a make or break trip.

Come together or come unglued.

 

I was complaining yesterday on the Magic loss wondering why Francis was not playing, without knowing that he had the flu. The flu kept him from the plane ride to Denver so he won't be there. Tmac's iffy with his knee and from his heart I don't see him playing. This is going to be tough but if we are aggressive even with Tmac and Francis out, we can win a close one at least. Everyone needs to pick up the slack.

 

I'll be sitting courtside at this one, as the lone Rockets fan left in the Pepsi Center. I'm hoping Tracy suits up for at least the first half to keep things lose. As for a prediction, it seems like the Rockets and ButtNugs usually play close cames...well the ones I've been to anyway. I'm not worried about Carmelo tonight...I'm worried about AI abusing Rafer, like he always does.If Yao can give us 20, Bonzi with 15, Mike with 15 and Stevie with 10 or so, I think we'll be in the game. It's important for the Rockets to play transition defense, especially when the Nugs' 'quicks' like JR come in. So....

Rockets 91
Nuggets 88


Look for me courtside,

Cod

 

^^^neither Steve nor She-Mac will be playing.

 

time to see Yao taking over, or it's time that we start hoping that Yao would take over

 

Life with Rockets still sucks, haha

 

10$ we see alot more effort without T-mac
than with him

Rocket River
Why is the second half of a back to back half way across the country???

 

because this is the NBA the league known for doing things that make no kind of sense..........see changing the ball, kicking players out for laughing and clapping, etc.

 

Rox will lose, sorry to say this. Yao usually sucks in 2nd BTB.

 

I haven't posted in Game Thread this season, so I hope this turns the Rockets fortunes.

Rockets: 100:
Denver: 91

Rockets Win!

 

rockets will bounce back an dwin this one...I HOPE

 

That hasn't actually been the case this season AFAIK. However winning a game in Denver w/out Tracy is going to be hard (and I am sure the Nuggs haven't forgotten the drubbing they got in Houston which doesnt' help matters..). The role players have got to start making some shots or we are doomed.

 

I can't stand it when Sir Charles and Kenny bash the Rockets. The trouble is, they're usually right.

 

no tmac, slim chance to win. This will be a hard game to watch. Hopefully yao will dominate; only way i see us winning.

 

You're assuming JR will play. Lately Karl's been pissy and for some reason has been playing Linas Kleiza instead. Kleiza's just as bad as JR, but with less athleticism, so that makes tons of sense.

I think you guys win.

 

Ok...... question ? How can u honestly say we will win any games when we have no one except tracy that can make defenders pay for doubling and tripling yao? We have'nt even found a way to make teams pay for doubling yao when tracy has even played????

 

Very tough game for the Rockets. I don't think the Nuggets liked it when they got smoked in Houston and now that TMac took himself out, they're going to have no mercy on this team.

Would be surprised if Rockets are still in it in the 4th quarter.

 

we got this.

sorry its hard for me to go against houston. i'v been followin them for a long decade now, and we're so close.

i endured worst seasons, and refuse to give in now. we're not far from tha recipe.
