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

Apologies to Steve Miller ...


Rocks keep on slippin slippin slippin
Into the lott'ry
Rocks keep on slippin slippin slippin
Into the lott'ry

I want to fly like a dunker
To the rack
Fly like dunker
But Yao and Tracy big softies
I want to fly like a dunker
First round win
But playoffs just a delusion.

 

Throw the ball to the big stiff in the post....(NOT HIGH POST)

then we might have a snowballs chance in hell....

 

the offense will click tonight...rockets win

 

The stats over the last few years tell an entirely different story.

We rarely win w/out T-Mac.

 

but we did beat san antonio without tmac last season.

 

Yao, prove yourself as the leader of this team and give us a WIN!

 

Hey guys, my first post on here. Been reading for a long time but finally signed up. I'm in England and it's 3am here, that's me up for the day now.

I stay up for almost every game all night long and get my sleeping done in the daytime to watch the Rox. I'm hopeful for tonight but certainly not expectant.

I know things are frustrating at the moment but the fickleness and negativity of the fans on here sometimes is incredible. T-Mac goes from being the best player in the NBA to being a chucker and a scrub and then back again about 50 times during every game lol.

We can moan about trades and dissect the bad parts of the game anytime, during tonight's game in a game we really need to win to get back to the .500 mark and not fall too far behind the competition, can we all just get behind the team and support each other in this frustrating time.

 

Mentally if Rockets decide not to count on TMac any more for this game, there is a better chance for them to win than if TMac plays scared or half hearted.

If rockets shoot more than 45% tonight, they win. If less than 40%, they lose. Somewhere in between, it will be a toss-up.

 

Man this is going to be a stern test and a tough night for Big Yao.

Both his close allies/comrades, SF3 and TMAC aren't playing.

And this is a back to back game after a heart-breaking loss to Orlando Magic where he played the longest minutes on court (42 minutes?).

And it is in Denver, one of those cities that Big Yao hated; he had said it so many times before that whenever he plays in Denver, the altitude there easily tire him out due to the thin air.

Let's hope his never-give-up attitude will beat the altitude of Denver, and his team mates will crowd around him as the leader and step up to fight with passion, intensity and energy to beat the Denver Nuggets !!

 

I would have to agree. I think that the Nuggets are really looking forward to playing this game a lot more than the Rockets are. After all, the Nuggets were blown out in the only other game between these two teams.

Another thing, the Rockets are too tired to play this game after having played last night while the Nuggets are coming in having three days off.

 

rockets win !!!!

 

Did you see KB24 grab the rebound from two Cavs? That fire is what Rockets need.

 

Yeah but they don't need a player that shoots a 3 with little time left that could cost them the game.

 

Tmac, you watching?

 

too bad he jacked up a three right after that. tmac?

 

That was cute.

Now for reality: We will get blown off the court tonight. It won't even be close.

I say Denver by 35+.

 

Kobe is still hurting in his groin.

 

how long before the game starts?

 

Head as a starter?

I don't like that at all unless Bonzi was starting for Battier.

We now have 4 guys who don't score in the starting lineup. Worse yet, Luther doesn't even defend like Chuck and Shane.

 

I'm sure you would love to massage it for him.
