Game 7: Rockets @ Nets--11.15.04



Houston Rockets (3-4) at New Jersey Nets (2-4)
Monday, 11.15.2004, 7:30 PM EST
Continental Airlines Arena - East Rutherford, NJ
TV: YES, NBALP

NetsDaily Preview



The Houston Rockets come into New Jersey Monday night having lost two straight games at home without leading scorer Tracy McGrady. Houston is near the top of the league in defense thanks to the inside presence of Yao Ming. The Nets are banged up, with Ron Mercer out, and Alonzo Mourning, Jason Collins, Travis Best, Zoran Planinic and Rodney Buford all suffering from minor injuries. New Jersey needs production from their bench, which only scored 7 points against Dallas on Saturday.

McGrady playing, but the Nets are off to a 11-0 start!

Out-rebounding Houston 10-3.

Hasn't been every game, but the big line-up (E.Williams at the 3, RJ at the 2) has seen a lot of action lately, especially with Mercer out, and Rodney Buford as the only other option at the 2.

How is it that...

1. Alonzo Mourning had 6 fouls in 23 minutes.
2. Yao Ming attempted only 1 FT.
3. The Rockets only attempted 16 FTs.

Not a fun game to watch if you're a Nets fan. The Rockets put together a 30-6 run, and McGrady and Yao combined for only 2 of those points!

Houston is a great defensive team. They were like the Nets have been in the past, plus Yao and Mutombo in the middle.

RJ was frustrated all night, with McGrady on the defensive end, and with 2 or 3 guys guarding him on the offensive end. When he doesn't have it, the Nets have no chance.

Best gave them a little bit of a lift when he came in. He gives them an extra shooter, so I'd imagine his minutes will continue to increase.

Only 5 minutes for Train again?

I only saw parts of this game (got back from class, Nets were down. Went to get something to eat, came back and they were down even more). It looked ugly. And what is worse, McGrady and Yao didn't put up big numbers, and we still got killed.
