Rockets!!!

 

[maxdemo]

Even though a championship may not be on the horizon, it's awful hard to not be amazed by this team? They are playing with one arm tied behind their backs and sticking with the Jazz. Very impressive!

Rafer Alston - back after missing two games, playing in uninviting Utah, putting up 20 on one of the NBA's premiere point guards - was the leader out there tonight. I'm not so sure it's not the Rockets with the series advantage had Rafer been healthy for games one and two. All things considered, this is one of the more impressive wins the franchise has had in years.



Where is all the Rocket fans??

Dont tell me Mr. Cleo that you didnt enjoy last nights game:toast:

 

[MrCleo]

i enjoyed it

amazing how we were willing to give Alston away for a bag of basketballs this past offseason.

still have to win another one in slc though.

Any news on Battier's foot?

Shane Battier scored 12 last night....dont think the foot bothered him. He didnt re-injure the foot

Towards the end of the game he could barely walk on it. He was trying hard not to put pressure on it. Something was bothering his foot. I'm sure it was the same one he injured previously.

Didnt notice that...was too busy watching Landry knock the ball out of play and saving it...then doing his Rocky impression on the basket post...LOL

Yea, towards the end of the game he was limping badly. I said foot but I think he injured his ankle earlier this year.

ROCKETS NOTES
Battier miss another


By JONATHAN FEIGEN

After playing in 221 consecutive games, Rockets forward Shane Battier sat out his second straight game with a bruised left ankle and foot on Sunday. He said he would try to balance caution with the need to get ready for the postseason heading into the remaining two games of the regular season

Just got done watching the game. Was out last night so watched the three games this morning. That was one hell of a gutty effort by those guys. Completely outmanned, but found a way anyway. Congrats.

Well here we are 5 games later and 2 games more than most had expected this...Utah suffers its worst loss in the last 2 years vs the Rockets in the playoffs.

Also the Rockets are 4-0 ATS the last 4 games

The Rockets are 2 and 1 since Rafer came back. It is no coincidence that the Rockets play there best ball when Rafer is doing well. You can almost say that as Rafer goes so go the Rockets. You know what your getting from McGrady, 25pts 8 assists 9 boards or so.

But this Rockets team does not quit despite what all the detractors that populate therx.com think.....Those brilliant basketball minds are the same ones that stated the Rockets didn't belong in the same building with a team like Utah. Those are same geniuses that declared this team dead in December and when Yao went down. Guess what the Rockets are still standing. It may for just one more game but they've gone after the basketball with more heart than all their detractors put together could ever have.

Utah Jazz will certainly respond to this adjustment back in Salt Lake City......hope the Rockets are prepared to hit back! The Jazz are so good, they knew they could blow off this game since they'll win the next at home. :missingteGo Rockets!!!! Kick some JAZZ!!!!

 

[royalfan]

Kind of hoping Houston wins, being a 2nd tier laker fan(behind the Pacers ofcourse). MUCH MUCH easier series agains them than the vastly superior Jazz. Don't see how Houston wins next one though.

Vastly Superior Jazz??:WTF:

This Rockets "d" has held them under 16 points from their season average of 106.....and I'm sure you are a celtic 3rd tier fan and so forth:howdy:.....stfu


Who cares what you think mr. "Flim Flam Man":finger: ...You have proven to me..(an I'm sure others) you know nothing about the NBA...at least I dont post that I am a guru...because you know what I'm not but I do enjoy betting the NBA...and I'm not broke.

Yes, vastly superior. Lakers would be far more heavily favored over Houston than Utah. Anyone that knows shit from apple butter knows that. Everything i said all along is exactly true about the Rockets. Great bust your ass regular season team, but not enough athletes and scoring which is exactly right, yet you are saying I don't post I am a guru? Why wouldn't I when I am right yet again. Analysis dead on and it would be a lot of fun to watch LA hammer their asses so I hope they do win this series some miraculous way. Either way, I will win a hundy and you will look like the dumb ass once again.

Wrong...wrong....wrong:nono5:

You said they wouldn't win in Utah...hno:

Now you say its a miracle if they get past Utah....but MY LAKERS will kill them :nono5:

I guess unless its a miracle you are dead on....fuckin idiot...you know more about the NBA than my daughter....WHO DOESN'T KNOW SHIT!!! Go back to thinking you "dead on" if that whats gets you through the day.

I can see you telling mommy...."I know I was dead on because I always am....but it was a miracle they won...can I borrow a few dollars till pay day ...thanks mom I love you":sad3:

To have a chance to call you out like this and show what a fake you are is worth 10 times as much to me...so I am getting a huge discount...Mr. Flim Flam:toast:
