ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Heat 2/9/2010

First

 

Did anybody remember the success Q. Rich had on Budinger in the low-post? Could be an X-factor with lowry out and Ariza's hip pointer.

 

Wade went off last time and Miami beat us. More of the same? Who knows. Easily could see a loss coming. Maybe no Ariza, no Lowry. Hoping for the best but am expecting the worse. It won't be easy. After all, I thought Philly would be an easy win.

 

I'm really looking forward to this game:

-in lieu of the Kyle and Trevor injuries, it's a new/perfect opportunity for RA to give the "benchwarmers with potential" some significant playing time...

-would love to see the Rockets clown D. Wade obviously - wouldn't we all? I hope Dorsey gets a chance to imitate a few of those moments where Shaq had previously blocked D. Wade right-into-the-cold-ground. Be a brick wall Dorsey!!

 

Both Trevor and Kyle are out for the game.

 

I'm ready for some Jermaine Taylor - Let's see what this kid can do

 

I guess you know what that means ?

 

This, and absolutely this.

Taylor should play at least 7-8 minutes this game.

 

i hope dwade will not do his jumping on the score table thing and say "THIS IS MY HOUSE"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Rockets are so unpredictable

 

Game's on my birthday and will be attending. Go Rockets

 

I feel a loss on the horizon w/o Lowry.

 

Thank god lowry and riza get some plentiful rest during the allstar break, after these injuries.

Bud starts I bet.

Time to Unleash the... Be..nch!!!

 

ball movement, no bad shots and all around good offense?

 

Wade is scoring 40+ on battier. Battier goes career high and drops 6 points 2/10 3pt line in 44 minutes.

 

Trevor Ariza will be out according to Jonathan Feign

Well that means more time for Budinger and Taylor maybe a blessing in disguise

 

Miami.....all the young guys will sneak out and hit south beach all night.
The Rat Pack...Brooks, Landry, Dorsey, Ariza and Bud.
Oh and the game, hopefully a win, but we all know that Dwade will probably kill us.

 

We could win this one if Shane can shut down Dwayne.


I still wasn't opposed to a Tmac for JO deal back a few months ago. I still like how he plays, though he has definitely lost a step.

I think everything will depend, as usual, on Aaron.

Luis will have to make the jumper more consistently.

 

Yeah, that will be key, here.

I think it might be a tough game for Brooks, Rafer was very much old boy's mentor and Alston probably knows a lot of Brooks moves and will be ready to play him and disrupt his usual flow.

I know, if Luis could hit the jumpers like he did last season in the playoffs for more then just one good quarter of production, it would help our team out a lot.
