Rockets-Grizzlies Preview

ROCKETS​

C: Yao Ming

SF: Ryan Bowen
SG: Luther Head
PG: David Wesley​

GRIZZLIES​

SF: Shane Battier
PF: Pau Gasol
C: Lorenzen Wright
SG: Eddie Jones
PG: Damon Stoudamire​

Rockets will likely be without McGrady tonight, so this one could get ugly for us...Rockets could possibly pull this one out, but I wont count on it.

Grizzlies 101
Rockets 91

 

[Stat O]

sad but I think rockets lose too...97-83

 

[smithys1510]

I disagree, we have put in good showings against some of the top teams and come out without a win. Our backcourt is finally shooting well and if yao has a good game i think we can win.

rockets:98
grizzlies: 90

yao ming- 20pts,12rbs
luther head- 16pts, 8rbs, 6asts

No way Rox will go 3-10, and I've been watching clips of the 95 & 96 Houston championship run... so Rox will win

Yao's a genuine competitor, he will have the last game in his mind, when he played so poorly. He will come out firing.

 

[skykisser]

time will tell.C'mon Rox.

 

[tmac41]

[kisstherim]

lol, I was just wondering how a Mavs fan came to our board and cheer for Rockets.:biggrin:

 

[kisstherim]

holy... Dwes finally found his shot???

ever since he was listed as a candidate for All-Star game :angel:

 

[Hakeem]

No way Rox will go 3-10, and I've been watching clips of the 95 & 96 Houston championship run... so Rox will win

The '94 Rockets started off 22-1, and in '95 started off 9-0, so I wouldn't use that as a precedent.

 

[The_Franchise]

Memphis is taking a page out of Phoenix's book and not letting Yao touch the ball without Battier and another help defender coming over. Howard really needs to start taking some shots if Yao is going to ever get the ball 1-on-1.

 

[skykisser]

ever since he was listed as a candidate for All-Star game :angel:

:laugh:

 

[Pimped Out]

The '94 Rockets started off 22-1, and in '95 started off 9-0, so I wouldn't use that as a precedent.

the '95 rockets were also the lowest seed to ever win a championship, if memory serves.

yao shots aint fallin today either, thats not good.

 

[skykisser]

yao shots aint fallin today either, thats not good.

nope...finally he learns to save the shots for 4th Q.:wink:

Well that's an inspiring performance, not to mention the playoff heroics and clutch plays of those years... Remember after the 9-0 start, we had a slump when Hakeem was injured, which brought about the OT for Drexler trade... Hakeem, Horry, Maxwell, Otis Thorpe, Kenny Smith, Cassell the rookie, led by Rudy T... will we ever get back to those glory days?

It took Drexler around 12 years before he got his championship, Hakeem 10... there's still plenty of time for our youngsters to get there
