Clash of the Titans!

Love him or hate him, Boston rookie Bill Walker sure is making a name for himself this October. Having already introduced himself to Theo Ratcliff's head and Lebron James's chest, young 'Sky Walker' turned his attention (and biceps) to two-fifths of the Rockets starting line-up on Saturday.
The ill will between the two teams didn't stop there. Paul Pierce and Artest also did a little dance in the third quarter, when Artest fouled Pierce, prompting Pierce to flip Artest to the floor for a technical foul of his own. Apparently, someone forgot to tell these guys were still in the preseason. I like.

No love lost between these two teams.

Also on the line..Yao Ming's 19 game winning streak in games he has played in dating back to last season.

[GuerillaBlack]

Thread title sucks. You tried to make it too epic (take off the date). ;)

Should be a good game though. McGrady and Garnett will be rocking the Obama shoes.

[Xylus]

Since when is Houston a Titan?

[GuerillaBlack]

Since when is Houston a Titan?

You really don't think they are this season?

Also, I wish Boston had won their last game. Takes a little of the wind out of this game.

[Xylus]

You really don't think they are this season?

I'm not saying they don't have the ability to be a titan. They certainly have the pieces. But they haven't proven that they're a legitimate contender this year, not yet.

[Matchman]

I predict a vintage TMac monster slam over Bill Walker. ive never seen a 2nd round rookie as cocky as him.

[Many PackYao]

Since when is Houston a Titan?
Well, duh when we got Artest!:rolleyes

[Indazone]

It's A Titan Rocket! Lol

[Many PackYao]

I predict a vintage TMac monster slam over Bill Walker. ive never seen a 2nd round rookie as cocky as him.
Nah, he'll injure Tmac with a hard foul to keep that from happenin'.

[Roxsfan]

This is going to be a good ass game. Time for the Rockets to tame the Celts..

[Texas Chili Dog]

tomorrow the free week preview of NBA League Pass ends. But I bought it tonight since it was $20 off. Either way, I'll be double TV-ing it tomorrow with a Rockets fan friend. Gotta have this game on for him and the Mavs-Spurs one on for me. lol

ah ok, I'll have to tell my friend. But I guess it doesn't matter for me anymore! woot!

[angelbelow]

do you guys think houston by 3 or more?

[Zee Laker]

Should be a really good game, and Bill Walker wont log one minute.

Sadly. It would be fun seeing Tmac schooling him or Artest bitch slapping him :nutkick:

[Texas Chili Dog]

do you guys think houston by 3 or more?

I'm hoping Boston by 1 or more. :toast

[angelbelow]

I'm hoping Boston by 1 or more. :toast

haha im thinking about betting for rockets to win by 3 or more.

[Texas Chili Dog]

haha im thinking about betting for rockets to win by 3 or more.

a Spurs or Mavs fan betting on the Rockets to win? You should be ashamed of yourself. :nope

lol ;)

[Indazone]

So it begins...go Rockets!

[The Franchise]

We need to show up from the start tonight. No more fucking around for 3 quarters and turning it on in the fourth. If we get the chance we need to cut their fucking heads off.

[sribb43]

I hate the Rockets but I despise the F'in Celtics and KG....plus Yao is on my fantasy team, so this might be the only time I say this but GO ROCKETS!!!!

[sook]

i like the Cs a lot, great team but hopefully we can kick their ass :)

My first Rockets game ever and i got courtside, im so excited!

[Roxsfan]

Ok, let's do this.

[Allanon]

Houston will win tonight.

thanks :toast

[Indazone]

hmm pretty close game

[Indazone]

hmm talking about a chippy game..who are these Brit announcers lol

[Indazone]

Man, Yao can't hit anything.

[Hank the Tank]

great plays by t-mac

[Indazone]

I think T-Mac just turned on the afterburners..amazing defense. I think he scored the last three possessions.

[The Franchise]

Yao is playing like a goddamn sissy!!!!

[IronMexican]

Can I get a justin tv link? Channel surfint wont work on ps3.

[Indazone]

google justin tv houston rockets celtics

[Hank the Tank]

Yao is playing like a goddamn sissy!!!!

yes he is...but tmac is kickin some ass

[Indazone]

nooooo lost the vid inside the stadium.

[Indazone]

T-Mac taking over..but damn. Channelsurfing is on the blink

[IronMexican]

None work. Oh well, game cast it is.

[The Franchise]

This game shouldn't even be close. Rafer and Yao are killing us.

[The Franchise]

Please put Brooks back in Adelman, I beg of you!

[Indazone]

got the vid back yay!

[Indazone]

lol Brent Barry almost getting into it with Powe.

[Hank the Tank]

Please put Brooks back in Adelman, I beg of you!

good call.

[Indazone]

Broooksssssss

[Allanon]

This has been a pretty damn game. C'mon Rockets.

[Indazone]

Feels like playoff basketball intensity. These two teams don't like each other.

[Allanon]

No point watching the Spurs game anymore.

[Hank the Tank]

is yao injured or somethin or does he always struggle against kg or the celtics?

[The Franchise]

Yao is a fag!!!

[Indazone]

Yao looking a step slow and not jumping like he usually does. Not his night.

[Indazone]

Get Yao outta there...play smallball.

[turiaf for president]

yao is getting worked by perkins again showing how soft he is. you got 8 inches on that guy to to the hole!

[Indazone]

Need to put Brooks back in. Celtics have no answer for him.

[turiaf for president]

right when i was about to say rockets are talking too many jumpshots, tmac drives to the hole and 1. if allens guarding him tmac should do that every play

[Indazone]

yao is getting worked by perkins again showing how soft he is. you got 8 inches on that guy to to the hole!

Yao doesn't have issues with guys his own size. It's the shorter quick guys with lateral speed that push on him that gives him fits.

[Indazone]

I should say other 7 footers.

[The Franchise]

Bullshit tech called on Rafer. Garnett instigated and got nothing.

[Spur-Addict]

Dont touch those Celtics... those bastard get their calls.

Bitter? :lol

[Spur-Addict]

Scccooooooooooolllllllllllaaaaaaa

[Hank the Tank]

good hustle by yao. not over yet!

[AnotherArgie]

Scola threaaaaddddddddddd!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Indazone]

3 pt game!! Yao diving on the floor throwing it for the fast break. Scola finishes!!

[turiaf for president]

ron freakin artest made that possible. damn u mitch. but i think bostons gonna pull this one out.

[Spur-Addict]

Swishhhh

[Indazone]

:(

[turiaf for president]

right when i was about to say rockets are talking too many jumpshots, tmac drives to the hole and 1. if allens guarding him tmac should do that every play

tmac take it to the hole!

[The Franchise]

This shit is over. YaO AND RAFER COST US THIS GAME.

[Indazone]

Our shooting was abysmal. But I freaking gotta credit Tom Thibodeau for his defense of the Rockets. He was the assistant coach under Van Gundy so he knows each and every guys strengths and weaknesses.

[Indazone]

Ray Allen fouled out. Maybe T-Mac will get hot like that 13 pts in 33 seconds game.

[The Franchise]

This shit is over. YaO AND RAFER COST US THIS GAME.

That and Tracy Mcgradys defense.

[Allanon]

That Rafer Alston Technical looks really bad now...could have been a 3 point game.

[turiaf for president]

lol @ artest and rafer laughing as they come to to bench after artest got tangled up with garnett. artest doesnt take shit from anyone. i have artest envy. dammit

[Indazone]

Yeah, Alston's stupid T doesn't help us one bit. Yao playing like a pussy doesn't help either.

[Indazone]

Scola outhustling Yao for the board..that's not good.

[Allanon]

Dude 3 free throws?

[Hank the Tank]

Hahaha. sweet. hopefully he makes all 3...and i hope tmacs ok too.

[Spur-Addict]

Replay time

[Indazone]

oh crap..T-Mac holding his knee

[Allanon]

That was a shot

[Spur-Addict]

Nah no pass, foul

[Allanon]

Stupid foul by the C's

[Hank the Tank]

ahh fuck

[Spur-Addict]

Loser

[turiaf for president]

tmac caught a case of lebronitis

[Allanon]

Un-clutch, T-MAC, wtf?

[Indazone]

dammit..that sucks..T-Mac!!

Congrats to Obama our new President.

[Indazone]

4 pt game 10 seconds..uhhh

[Spur-Addict]

Nobody makes every shot

[Indazone]

crap!

Barry with a 3 pt airball to end the game

[AnotherArgie]

Well, at least that shows Barry couldn't have helped the Spurs tonight.

[turiaf for president]

clutch player makes clutch FTW's with 10 seconds left. artest woulda drained all three

[The Franchise]

The only thing I can take from this game is that we played horribly and still should have won. Yao had better man up next time we play these bitches. Fucking fag.

[Spur-Addict]

Care to put an all by that statement? Or keep it vague?

[AnotherArgie]

I guess it's time to switch to the political forum. I'm not american, but I sure have fun watching you guys discuss over there...

[dirk4mvp]

Tough loss. How the hell did Ray Allen score 29?

btw, fuck Indazone.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

good win Boston :clap

[JamStone]

The only thing I can take from this game is that we played horribly and still should have won. Yao had better man up next time we play these bitches. Fucking fag.

Or KG and Paul Pierce didn't even play well, and Houston still lost at home.

[Many PackYao]

Or KG and Paul Pierce didn't even play well, and Houston still lost at home.
Gay-g made a couple of clutch shots.:rolleyes

[Matchman]

Or KG and Paul Pierce didn't even play well, and Houston still lost at home.

artest didnt play well either and we are missing our top defensive player and 3 point specialist.
btw i didnt read the whole thread but i will admit that Yao played like a pussy tonight. that is the worst game yao had played in his whole career and he will respond thursday against Greg Oden.:hat

[turiaf for president]

wut???

wow rename this thread to the excuses thread.

[Hemotivo]

tmac can't defend

[Kai]

Tough Loss. Props to the champs. This was so unlike Yao and I miss Battier even more now.

[Indazone]

No excuses. Rockets played like crap tonight. Shot horribly. Deserved to lose the game. Yao played like crap, T-Mac played well in spurts. Artest was good. Everyone else sucked.

[Caltex2]

Good game Celtics. Not the most aesthetically pleasing game, but still a good one.

[Roxsfan]

The only thing I can take from this game is that we played horribly and still should have won. Yao had better man up next time we play these bitches. .


Yeah, Yao has lost what little ups he had--missing point blank dunks and just plain not showing up. I agree that without Battier, Mutombo, and essentially no Yao--we were still in this thing.

Yeah, the officiating was horribly inconsistent. Be consistent, and let the players decide.

[IronMexican]

LMAO. Dirk4mvp, that sig is classic

[Roxsfan]

artest didnt play well either and we are missing our top defensive player and 3 point specialist.

Oden is out, what the hell is your problem:rolleyes

EVerybody was cursing rafer out at the game, the only time we were up was when brooks was in, everybody was so pissed when they put rafer in.


The dude is garbage and deserves to be benched.


And good god Yao...

[JamStone]

I missed most of the game so I don't know how he played overall, but offensively, Artest shot 10 three point shots and was 3-for-16 from the field.

[SpursDynasty]

Wow, Houston gets 3 BS wins and then once they face a REAL team, they lose. How shocking.

Good job Boston for putting that team in its place.

by 4 points lol.


You won't see Yao play shitty like that too much so i don't know what you are talking about.


Normally i would care anyways, but the streaking rockets proved to you how much the beginning of the season doesn't matter, same goes for the spurs who are like 0-3 or 0-4

[JamStone]

How many BS wins has your team won this season?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

The Spurs are f*cked this season.

[Indazone]

This was the typical defensive grind it out Van Gundy games that makes you look like crap. The offenses never get started. Both teams shoot a horrible shooting percentage and the team with the better defense typically wins. Last year the Celtics were the number 1 rated defense, and the Rockets the number 2 rated defense.

Artest was great as a defensive player. I know he shot like crap but at least the dude showed up to play.

[Spur-Addict]

clutch player makes clutch FTW's with 10 seconds left. artest woulda drained all three

Better worded...Do all clutch players make those free throws? If they miss, are they no longer clutch?

[SpursDynasty]

This thread isn't about the Spurs. My statement refers to Houston failing to beat a real team.

Are the Spurs a real team? They cut way into that age avg. with Mason.

That real team was blown out by a fake team the previous game then they barely won against a rox team not yet playing its best ball.

You are such a fucking idiot.

Don't worry about him, the celtics are a great team.

They wanted it more, Yao played like shit, and coach was stupid enough to keep rafer in the 4th.

[SpursDynasty]

I'm just saying, there was a lot of talk of Houston winning the West, etc. They go out and win 3 games. They play the champs, and lose. McGrady and Yao can't play anything better than first round basketball.

[Roxsfan]

You're an idiot making matter of fact statements based on 5% of the season being played...:rolleyes

[dirk4mvp]

Indazone is currently getting pounded in the ass by his boyfriend to make himself feel better over the loss.

I don't understand why everyone is making this a Spurs thread when it's a Houston thread.

What does Houston losing its first real test have to do with the Spurs?

[Texas Chili Dog]

Pretty good game. I had two TV's side-by-side with this one on with the Mavs game. Had to satisfy my Rockets friend. lol

Yao was way off tonight. He couldn't do a damn thing in the 2nd half. Complete non-factor.

it just points to the fact that your a fucking idiot and getting worked up over a stupid game more than rockets or celtics fans themselves

[SpursDynasty]

I'm not getting worked up. All I wrote about was my observation that Houston can't beat the teams that count. Nothing more, nothing less. Some Rockets fans seem to take offense to me pointing that out.

wow how clever. How long did that take you to think up.

[Tmac&Luther]

I'm not really expecting to win that game........I mean yeah it'd be nice, but the Celtics are coming off a loss and are going to bring their "A" game. (They're not going to overlook us like they did the Pacers)

I think we need to be at full strength and have much more chemistry (need to gel) to beat them. If we atleast play them tough in a close game I'll be more than happy.

Plus KG is probably the worst matchup in the NBA for us.

Well, I'm happy........not thrilled, but we proved that even on a bad night, we're going to be able to hang with any team in the league.

P.S.

Any Spurs fan that is trying to talk crap right now, needs to pull his head out of his ass. :rollin

Houston just took the NBA champs to the wire, despite playing a very sloppy game. Yao probably won't have a game that bad for the rest of the season.

[dirk4mvp]

So you guys are gonna say Yao just had a bad game and not give props to Perkins for playing great D?

[Kai]

So you guys are gonna say Yao just had a bad game and not give props to Perkins for playing great D?

No discredit to Kendrick Perkins or any player on the Celtics, but yes. Yao just had a bad game. Yao has never looked as apathetic/untalented as he did tonight.

[Tmac&Luther]

So you guys are gonna say Yao just had a bad game and not give props to Perkins for playing great D?

umm.....yeah??? I mean Perkins played a great game, but Yao played extremely shitty. last I checked Perkins didn't morph into the rim and block Yao's wide open dunk when nobody was around him.

Yao will not have a game that bad for the rest of the season.

[Indazone]

If I didn't know any better I'd say Yao knocked down about 15 beers the night before. He looked slow, lost, and yeah drunk out there.

[mystargtr34]

So many pussies in this thread.

Until he makes a valiant effort to fly through the air and kick a player in the face, he's not quite as dirty as that piece of shit Bruce Bowen.

[leemajors]

5% of the season and you're talking about what a team can and can't do. You're an idiot.

and you started a thread about the spurs saying the same thing. SD owns you, boy.

[Indazone]

Rockets have a long way to go before this team gels. Artest still throws up shots and dominates the ball. JVG was right, Artest is a ballstopper. Hope Adleman can get the dude to cut and pass. Barry still isn't used to the offensive systems and his timing is a bit off. T-Mac, and Scola at times run the offense ok but a lot of times, again they aren't throwing to the weakside when Yao gets doubled. Yao when he gets doubled either needs to cut high and then go back and repost or if he has the ball throw the ball to Scola on the weakside. Rafer Alston was simply abysml. He needs to start shooting better or look for a bench spot next to Francis. Sheesh.

Brooks was a bright spot. Landry nearly fouled out of the game in the first half. Hayes played well but you'll never get offense out of Hayes. He's our Bruce Bowen.

[leemajors]

Artest may pretend like he's not a nutcase for a while, but he's always gonna disrupt the offense.

[Roxsfan]

and you started a thread about the spurs saying the same thing. SD owns you, boy.

naw maine, dat wuz just a mock at spursdynasty who would not answer a question about the spurs b/c it was not a spurs thread......so i created one for him.


and as far as SD owning me, gmamfb:lmao

[Roxsfan]

Artest may pretend like he's not a nutcase for a while, but he's always gonna disrupt the offense.

this is so gay, so I think you will enjoy it:

don't hate, appreciate:downspin:
