ClutchFans Game Thread: Sixers @ Rockets 1/15/2008

Rockets bounce back, win by 20.

Rockets 105
Sixers 85

Yao has a MONSTER game.

DD - oh and FIRST !

 

First ?

Rox wins !

 

Not First.

 

Payback's a...well, you know.

 

Rockets dominate these fools...we win let the second win streak begin

 

Throwback Night!!

>

Well, maybe not, but the team wearing red and mustard will beat the team wearing red, white, and blue.

 

win! 110 - 76

 

for all the posters this time make wise predictions! remember the last game against the sixers was a blowout.........but i dont think thats going to happen...rockets win but im not going to say its gonna be a blowout until it is one.......start of a new winning streak!

 

If they play like they did last night another loss (at least i want them to lose, because they have to play better to even become 8th seed in the WC)
If they play according to RA's system, move the ball around, play faster, don't throw up quick shots (Maxwell style) and limit the three point shots they will win.

 

Does anybody in here remember the 6ers humiliated the Rox this year.

 

Simply put, the Rockets' offense sucked in the last game while their defense kept them competitive. What happened to the passing, the ball movement, the easy, open shots? What happened to the patience, the commitment to keep working deep into the shot lock to get the open look?

For this game and SA, given all the practices they should be having, I'd like to see a return to the offense that crushed Minnesota, Chicago, etc.

 

I'll predict Rockets win 93-87. Question- is TMac going to play against Philly?

 

Some helpful suggestions for the officiating crew:

- field goals for Yao Ming should only count 1 point instead of 2

- with regard to Yao Ming no blood ~ no foul rule should be suspended and replaced with no blood & cerebral spinal fluid ~ no foul

- on dunks Yao Ming must first place a quarter at the top of the backboard in order to receive the 1 point, however should he place a 1 oz. Chinese gold panda coin instead, he is then eligible for the full 2 points

- should at any point Yao Ming point his shoes in the direction of any player of the opposing team, then an automatic offensive foul shall be assessed

- as an addendum to the last suggestion, should Yao Ming even come within a 15 degree angle of having his shoes pointed in the direction of any player of the opposing team, then an initial warning shall be assessed with a technical foul to be called on any such subsequent infractions

- at the 11 second mark of every minute mark remember to look over at #11 and double-check if any violations of the rule book are being committed and if not, put him on the bench just to make sure

So let's go out there and call a good game. And keep an eye on that Yao Ming, fellas. He's always up to no good. Happy whistlin' and remember to say your thanks to Father Bugsy before every tip-off.

 

There is no way we lose this game...no way.

 

I think even if they play like yesterday, the have a chance to win. All depends on the REFS

 

I second that....

 

Yet another revenge game. The guys take care of business!

 

21-18!!!

 

I hope Tmac can play some minutes to warm up for the spurs game.
