ClutchFans Game Thread: Suns @ Rockets 4/11/2008

This team is the one that worries me the most. They're so damn big! That said, we'll kick their asses!

 

I think this will be a very tough game for us because of not having anyone that can contain Amare. I think we should play Amare the way Golden State played Dirk in the playoffs last year. I hope T`mac is rested enough to have a big night. Landry POSTERIZES Shaq and craps all over him. Rockets need to win in order to prevent themselves from playing Lakers in the playoffs. I think we have a better chance against Utah because we match up a little better with them.

5th IN A ROW

 

I think the Suns win....they have mismatches for the Rockets all over the floor, and with Battier hobbling I don't think our defense is up to the challenge.

Sadly I think the Suns win by double digits.

Winning this game solely depends on how well we can contain Nash and Hill.

Those 2 ball handlers will get us in trouble, not their offense but their ability to pass it inside.

no matter how u slice it, no team other than the lakers with Bryum would be able to handle Amare plus Shaq. we saw that in suns vs spurs game. even with shaq and amare each having 4 fouls, they were still able to chip away in 4th quarter.

Spurs didn't lose the game in 4th quarter, they lost it in 3rd when amare and shaq were both in foul problems and spurs wasn't able to open up the gap. They were tie neck to neck. Then in 4th quarter the ref let it all go.

we need to contain nash and hill, because once they been able to pass it inside. it's all over. hayes, landry and scola will not be able to contain amare or shaq.

hopefully we can draw fouls on shaq or amare in the early quarters and then contain the guards in the second half.

 

Big Game.

GO ROCKETS!

 

Quiet yourself.

 

if our role players can make their open shots and mcgrady has a big game then its a W

 

we need home court advantage against utah they can only play at home.
hopefully T-Mac and Battier are healthy again

 

It's a long shot. But if they can somehow pull it off against
tomorrow it would be a small miracle. Against a team big team like Suns, it's enough to hope they don't get blown out like last time.

 

You should be ashamed of yourself




I say under on double digits, if I was a betting man

 

I am really looking foward for that game!!!!!
We need to stop Amare!!!! That s the key for the Rockets.
Battier will have to play for us to win that game, but if he s not feeling well, he shouldnt cuz the playoffs are more important.
T-mac will have to step big. Alston should hit his shots.
Would also like to see Novak playing. He played well last game, thought it was just the Sonics.

 

Put Hayes on Amare and start him at small forward if Battier is injured. I think Hayes could do a good job on Amare. Then again Amare gets some of the most ridiculous ticky-tack fouls in the league.

 

Defenders of the faith unite. The Rockets will win and it will be by double digits. No damn way the Suns come to the TC on The Dream's night and ruin the celebration.

 

Yea, expect A LOT of fouls against us, alot for BS reasons. One thing is for sure though, and this pisses the crap out of me...Mike Dantoni will cry over every little thing, his team may be up by 50 and get all the fouls their way but this dude cries over everything it surprises me how he has no shame. He is a good coach but hes also the most whiny, and that is why the suns get a lot of calls their way, as a ref wouldn't you wanna shut this guy up despite the fact hes been given so many technicals and ejected from so many games? That is why they succumb to him.

 

Suns have so many star weapons and We have role player weapons........But they are still weapons and are less selfish than stars.........

Amare-38-12
Scola-21-16
Nash-15-15
Mcgrady-42-10-11

 

Actually, if we cant get the second seed at WC this season, the Uta Jazz will be a better match up for us. So i hope we can finally succeed in keeping 5th.

Suns is the last rival I want our team to face in playoff, they are so powerful
on the paint. There is nobody for us who can lock down Amare successfully.
They will take good advantage of their big size and aggressively attack our inside again and again. Personally thinking, there is slim chance we make it

 

This is THE biggest game of the year.

A win will guarantee us 5th seed (and possibly as high as 2nd). A lose will force us to face Fakers or Spurs, that won't be fun.

 

I will be very impressed if we win this game.

go rox.

 

Y'know, as much as I yearn for the Rockets to win the game, I honestly don't want a copy of that particular poster.

 

Shaq raped our center the last time we met....but I blame that on the five-game torture.

GO ROCKETS!!!!
