ClutchFans Game Thread: Spurs @ Rockets 3/24/2013

I honestly think we win.

 

Parker is shaking off the rust, they just got out of an OT game with Utah, and more importantly they are playing in Houston.

Will be surprised if we win though.

 

Trap game

 

For the Spurs.

 

109-102 Rockets

 

Easy win for the Rockets. We will blow these old fools off the court.

 

Blow out game

 

Tough game.

 

At least Parker came back against Utah. It would have sucked if he sat out that game against Utah and they lost, only to make first game back against us to win.

 

Interesting that the line is only Spurs -1. Got to think that will widen a little with Tony Parker back and apparently healthy.

 

Someone needs to help on the pick-and-roll from Tony Parker. They set mean screens that creates a wide open shot for TP. Duncan is almost impossible to stop when he is on a roll, just hope for the best that he takes contested shots. Please don't let Green alone! He can shoot 3's in a hurry.

 

good luck to dmo and lin, they will need it.

 

We Win, Period

 

I wanted so bad to go to this game (my first rockets home game--been a fan since hakeem era) from NYC with my 4 yr old son who also loves the rockets.No major airlines have cheap flights cause its spring break week(s) here in ny. So frustrating. I've been looking for a month hoping prices will drop. All sales don't cover this week

I even called a few places and tried to get a last minute fair this morning saying I have a sick great uncle in Houston lol..no luck. Still $700 per person, sucks.

I'm going to keep looking and see if I can make the Wednesday Indiana game or Saturday clipper game. If its significantly cheaper may even go to memphis on Friday.

If u can't do that in guessing tickets will be cheaper for playoffs. Just sucks cause I don't know the dates.

 

It's pretty ironic, that is to say most folks dying to go up to NYC to see the sights or Knicks games. Yah but I agree if you want to see a good matchup nothing tops Spurs-Rockets. Been following this rivalry for 20 years and it always seemingly measures up.

Fortunately there's a good possibility the 1st round will be between these two so perhaps you can plan for cheaper fare in late April.

 

Real tough game, the Rockets are going to struggle a bit this game

 

I predict a loss. Hopefully Lin bounces back this game.

 

Harden drops 50 and tweets "ISOsanity" after the game.
Lin has 15 assists and dunks on Duncan.
Chandler hits 14 threes and tweets after the game "pay me Daryl"
D-Mo has career high in points and keeps taunting Duncan throughout the game saying "you can't catch me".
Asik pulls down thirty rebounds and finally does a post-game interview. However, no one can really understand him, so, Jeremy being the nice, smart, Harvard-guy, translates with index cards that serve as sub-titles.


This win eventually proves to be the game that kick-starts our Championship run.
