ClutchFans Game Thread: Wizards @ Rockets 2/26/2008

nice Dunk, I LIKE.

The youth and athleticism of this team is so good. makes me feel a bit better about the loss of Yao

 

Keep the Dream Alive IBTL.

 

How did Hornets lose to this JV team?

They are terrible.

 

Rockets win!
GG cupcake dunk!

 

No Yao and Tmac shot 4-15 from the field and we still win.

 

Stress fracture. I had this injury and the doc just told me that putting a cast on it was worthless. That it would be painful to walk and that I just had to bear with the pain. So he just said no running or jumping. Wear normal shoes and take painkillers.

 

We still got it.

 

no post game analysis thread, clutch at the game

 

Jazzs lost to wolves!

 

Our point guard play: 12 assists, 0 turnovers. I love it.

 

This team has a great deal more talent than it had last season. It is really a shame about Yao because the Rockets had become a legit contender. They are still good, but they will have to prove they are contender again. I love Landry.

 

Mt. Mutombo almost cried when talking about Yao...

"I want him to make it to the finals, I want him to be the championship, my heart was broken"

O my big uncle Mu!

 

Such a bittersweet win.

 

Next we take down the Griz, and then the Nuggets.
I can't wait.

 

say it twice.

 

good game. even with mcgrady off. that's nice. obviously most didn't see the denver game as much of a challenge more than 12 hours ago, but now, things are different. we can handle it, though. gg. let's go.

 

woops. forgot grizz. can't take them that lightly, either.

 

Amazing performance. No Yao, and McGrady has a horrible offensive game, but the Rockets still win by a large margin.

Players like Carl Landry and Luis Scola are crucial to this team's success. They're tough, reliable, and smart players. Both have great fundamentals on offense too. These are what Championship level role players are like. Not Ryan Bowen, not Juwan Howard, not Chuck Hayes. You want to win Championships, you need consistent and talented players like Battier, Landry, and Scola.

And Dikembe Mutumbo just might be one of the best back-up Centers in the NBA. If the Rockets keep his minutes limited with Landry/Hayes/Scola rotating at the 4/5, this team should be fine without Yao.

Who knows? Maybe the Rockets need to persevere to get out of the 1st round. When the Colts went on that run, when they were all healthy and talks of them being undefeated came up, they had a big playoff disappointment. Then in one of their weaker seasons, they won the Superbowl.

 

What a game. What a day.

 

Another additional frontcourt player is necessary. Landry and Scola are great for our ball club but they are foul prone.
