This are different quotes from the game: "You have to give Houston a tremendous amount of credit," Robinson said. "I can't remember in recent times when a team has played that well against us. (They made) all the shots they threw up. It was a great performance and it's hard to hang your head when a team shoots the ball as well as they did." +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "We've come back against the bad teams in the leagues," said Rockets forward Matt Bullard, who with Steve Francis ignited the latest comeback fire. "We just said, let's show we can do this against the best team." +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "It was definitely contagious," said Bullard, who hit six of seven 3-point tries. "We were shooting only 13 percent in the second quarter (before a few late baskets). Coach did a great job starting me in the second half against Danny Ferry. That was a great matchup for me." +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "All week we have kind of shown that we are determined," Francis said. "We never gave up this week, and I think we have done a good job of fighting off all the adversity, whether the team was under .500 or over .500. We did a good job of coming back and showing we are true warriors." +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Houston got hot and made a lot of shots," San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich said. "You have to give Matt credit. He made six threes and I thought we did as good a job on Cuttino and Steve as we could, but we didn't plan on Bullard's threes. Our defense sagged in the second half and it let Houston back in the game." +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "I was so excited," said Mobley, who had 26 points and 10 rebounds for his third consecutive double double. "I was showing a little bit too many of my emotions on the court. I just wanted the game too bad. They had escaped us a couple of times already so we went out there and just tried to be aggressive. Bullard was tremendous. He broke their back with those threes and sparked us big time. We're doing so well as a team that I'm ready for the playoffs." +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "Bullard made some great shots and that forced them to cover on the perimeter," Tomjonovich said. "That opens some seams for us and that changed the game." "It felt great to be out there," Bullard said. "I've been working out and my jumper's been feeling really good." +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ------------------ My blood is made of Rocket fuel !
Note to Karl Malone: Bullard isn't cutting hair he's slitting throats. ------------------ Don't look at the feet
Loved Bully's quote : Danny Ferry is a great match-up for me. ------------------ "norm, would you like to buy an indian scalp ? This deal isn't gonna make or break me Norm, so don't jerk me around." Harry Carey "Norm, if I had a mohawk scalp, I wouldn't be sitting here talking to you."
Oh man, I loved it when Bullard and Malone were having that fued. Malone kept saying Bullard had no right to talk because he "couldn't play". Bullard just shot back with that wit of his. Hilarious time. ------------------ This message has been brought to you by the "Hard-dose-of-reality" Virus.
