ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets vs. Pistons 11/02/2004

We should start this season off right.

Rockets 92
Pistons 81

T-Mac and Yao look like they've been playing together for years as both put up 20+.

 

Rockets' Red Glare... the bombs bursting in air...

85-79 Rockets

 

Rockets embarrass the Pistons,

Roxs explode all over the Pistons T-Mac shines in front of the national audience and goes for 30pts.

Yao adds 20pm and 15 rebounds.

ROXs 91
Pistolwhipped 71

 

Pistons 89 - 72.

 

Detroit 91
Houston 77

Tough to open against the defending world champions.

DD

 

First game is due for a setback..

Detroit 82
Rox 78

 

how bad is yao's elbow injury?

 

OHH HOW SWEETTTTT,FINALLY!!!WE WINNN BY 13

 

Both hands of Ben are on Yao, is this allowed?

 

Technically, no. But this is Yao we are talking about, where apparently all rules are fair game.

 

I'm exciting too!!!Rockets can win!Rockets will win!Rockets should win!Rockets must win!

 

I smell OT! T-Mac shots a 3 in the last second and makes it 75-75! Rockets outscores Pistons 10 to 6 in OT.

Final score: Rockets win 85-81

 

ROCKETS 87

PISTONS 78

MAC - 39 pts

 

So I take it that Yao's injury isn't all that serious?

 

I have a good feeling that yao and t-mac will show up tonight and play good basketball, im more worried or concious about our bench showing up. Other than t-mac and yao everyone else looks streaky, Howard will get his points but to me he is foul prone and makes more mistakes than a veteren with his experience should make. I will be pleasantly suprised if we win tonight. Until we have that chemistry going it wont be too easy, unless t-mac or yao takes over. But isn't that what t-mac said he's not going to do? Go roks!

 

Wolrd Championship team that played the ultimate "team" game last year versus new look Rox which will probably struggle a bit in the beginning. I think the Rox will go far this year, but I'm pretty sure this will one of those growing pain games.

Pistons 82
Rockets 75

Yao goes 20 and 10
TMac drops 22 pt on 40% shooting

p.s Plz prove me wrong

 

Rockets 142
Pistons -3

Well, maybe not Rockets win at the very least. They must make a statement here that this their year.

 

A must win for rockets! lol

here are my predictions:
score: pistons 84 rockets 68
tmac: 21 and 6
yao: 17 and 10
yao fall on the floor: 6 times
rox turn overs: 23
number of "rox won't make playoff" threads: 3
number of "jvg must go" threads: 1 (breaking the clutchfans record for longest thread)
number of hours the server will crash: 17 hours(another record)
number of chatroom participants: 512 (it's a record setting day)

The season finally starts: priceless

go rox

 

wow! its 5 hours before gametime and their are already 4 thread pages. We as Rocket fans have no life!

 

DOES THIS MEAN I WON'T HAVE TO READ... "DIK'S A ROCKET" ON THE FRONT PAGE OF CF.NET?

Is it just me, or is everyone else tired of seeing the same old thing for the last 6 weeks. Come on CLUTCH, lets get this website updated... even the articles on the right side of the page are old news!

As for the ROX, I think we will put on a good show but ultimately lose. This squad needs more time to mesh together!

We desperately need some quality depth at the 2 and 3 spot. I can't wait for SURA to get healthy... we could really use him!
Boki just flat out sucks! How long are we going to baby this guy! He's made several million dollars for doing NOTHING! Hell, I'd love to chill with Yao and T-Mac, go on bad-ass road trips, get mop up minutes all for a few measly million dollars. BOKI is a waste of skin! Hawkins was better in my opinion. I read in the Houston Chronicle that cutting Hawkins was the hardest thing Van Gundy has ever had to do. So why did he cut him? I prolly would have cut Reese Gaines before "the Hawk".
