ClutchFans Game Thread: Bucks @ Rockets 1/18/2014

73 + 49 this time

 

there's no possible way we can lose this...right?

 

"Trap game"

Lol. You have to literally sleep through a game inorder to lose to the bucks, and if there is a team that I can count on to do just that..it's us.

Hope we come out with fire..and end the game by the end of the 3rd.

 

rockets set a record...they score 17 points in the first half and then score 92 in the second half to win by 35.

 

Until we trade asik I'm always predicting a loss

 

You mean people will actually want to watch this version of the Rockets???

I'll just wait for the scores after the game. It's less torture that way--just one quick jolt.

 

good thing is we come off a loss eager to bounce back

 

Whats torture is the 6 months.. May,june,july,august,september and october I don't get to watch the rockets play... Im still gonna watch... We're actually pretty good.

Back off the ledge man.

 

Win this and we'll be 6-2 in the last 8, with one loss coming on an epic collapse, and the other we had a late 4th quarter lead... We're close guys just hang in there

 

They have great shot-blockers. But we should win this game by 20+

 

Hate to admit it but you're right, This is my least favorite version of the Rockets to watch. Even with our record it's just really hard to watch, ugly ball day in day out. It's funny because we were the most exciting team to watch last year. Most good teams that play ugly ball you can blame on defense, but we don't even do that well. I'm puzzled as to how we have such an efficient offense but it looks sooo ugly.

 

who is their shooting guard? he might go for 41, along with career nights for errbody.

 

20+? It's possible but this team is too temperamental to predict an outcome even over weaker opponents. The Bucks is not as dynamic as they were last season. They lost Ellis who gave us trouble last season and was also instrumental in one of our home losses. I think this is one of those games that we need to shoot at least 40% from 3 if we going to put up 25-30 shots and out rebound the Bucks to pull this off. It would interesting to see the match up between Dwight Howard and Larry Sanders. Larry got his career high against Dwight. We'll see how Dwight responds.

 

Rockets, your play is "meh"

My expectation is "meh"

(no offense, meh)

 

it's Giannis Antetokoumpo and O.J. Mayo

 

C'mon Rockets, let's get this W tonight! Gotta bounce back from a tough lost and Bucks are the perfect team to thug on!!

 

MAYO drops 40pts due to hardens defense

 

Close to .............?

 

I hope our players will take this defeat as a big challenge and lead us to a win.
What we need the most is to fight back,instead of buckling down under pressure.
Go Rockets!
