Rockets will not get out of the first round this year either

[DAF86]

Rockets fans don't hate me (now that the Spurs are out I'm pulling for you, well Scola really) but I have the feelling the Rockts will choke.

P/S: I also have the feeling the Mavs will get to the WCF, so my instinct probably sucks and you shouln't pay atention to it.

[Thunder Dan]

the Rockets will choke. It's been the nature of the franchise since 99

[icem]

the rockets are definitely in trouble. if they lose game 6, they will not win a game 7 on the road. the pressure is on them to close out.

the blazers have been able to limit yao's production since game 1 and as long as they can do that the rockets are in trouble. they have to depend on guys like ron artest (LOL), who is shooting under 40% for the series.

oh yes my friends, the rockets are in deep shit now. i doubt they have the balls to close this out

Really? What did Cleveland do before 03? :lmao

This year Lakers in 5. :toast

Now give me your standard line "this is a Rockets thread...blah blah blah..."

[ducks]

the Rockets will choke. It's been the nature of the franchise since 99well james choked in the last finals:lol

[Second_Round]

Rocket fans, I'll let you guys know when I'm available. Don't call me, I'll call you

[Indazone]

Rocketsfans not saying much today. We know our history. Like Yao said, our talking will be done on the court win or lose.

[lurker]

Rocket fans, I'll let you guys know when I'm available. Don't call me, I'll call you
Hey man, looking forward to seeing you soon. It's been a few years. Tell Western Conference Finals I said hello.

[layupdrill]

Rockets game seven is in Houston. They dont wanna go back to Portland for a game 7.

[stretch]

rockets wont win a game 7. must win at home

[stretch]

btw - blazers will win

[stretch]

LMAO rockets

[PDXSpursFan]

The Rockets are the only playoff team that doesn't have a closer/clutch player. McGrady filled that role, but we all know the story.
LMAO at Artest trying to be "the closer" :lol

[Red Hawk #21]

Seriously, if the Rockets blow this shit...I dunno what to even say

[Roxsfan]

Its game 6 or die for the rockets. Simple. Either they man up and take care of business or they bring more shame to the city and their fans. I don't see them winning a game 7 in Portland.

Rockets, finish this shit or go fuck yourselves.

If they don't get 'er done they deserve all the media bash and all the bash they will get from all the folks on this board including Tlong! I welcome it bring it, all of it, all of the we suck, we never will do shit or win shit ever again type of comments because if they can't win in this series they might as well just dismantle the team and have no more Rockets. Fuck em. Not move them to Seattle or some bullshit, just dismantle them.....sorry ass fucking bullshit up in this motherfucker if they don't win. Fuck em.

.......oh, and



go rockets:downspin:

[blink]

Rockets, finish this shit or go fuck yourselves.

[Roxsfan]

is that a QFT ^^?

ok...thanks for starting a thread

[DAF86]

ok...thanks for starting a thread

Im doing it as a favour to you, so you have another guy to trash talk besides Tlong.

[Lars]

Would be interesting to see if people turn on Yao, since McGrady cant be a scapegoat.

[Indazone]

We'll be ok if Brooks doesn't jack up 6-20 shooting and play like Mike James when he was with the Rockets.

Oh wait...shit we're in trouble.

[lefty]

Roxettes will finish the Blazed in game 6

[Indazone]

Only if Brooks gets his head out of his ass and starts penetrating and dishing the ball instead of dribbling into traffic getting blocked or turning the ball over. He also needs to start thinking about his own shot selection and making those buckets otherwise he's useless.

The main weakness of the Rockets isn't their front line or their reserve front line players. It's their guards. Right about now as much as I hate to say it, I'd rather have Rafer Alston.

[iggypop123]

see you next week yao

[KSeal]

I don't have a whole lot of confidence in Houston right now, they barely beat the Blazers the two other times they played them at home and the Rockets don't seem to realize that they have a 7-6 monster in the paint that they should try to get the ball to more then 4 times in the fourth quarter. If they keep letting pussy Oden affect the way they play and have Brooks chucking all game long they're going to be out on their asses yet again, pathetic.

[Indazone]

Now all Brooks has to do is to take a page from Alston's playbook and play within the system.

Alston said that playing with Yao and T-Mac — who is out for the season after knee surgery — helped him learn how to fit his game in with all-stars.

"It helps you understand how to play off superstar players," Alston said. "You learn where to pick your spots to be aggressive, and you know when to pull back because you've got guys that get paid a lot that we have to go to.

Lets get this over with!

[Indazone]

You know, I've been thinking about this. Instead of using Brook's speed which isn't the Rockets style anyhow, what about using Barry off the Bench as our main playmaker and put Artest in at his natural position of Small Forward. Use Aaron at shooting guard also his natural position with Von Wafer.

I doubt that would work since the 1-3 rotation will probably be Fernandez, Roy, and Outlaw for the most part.

[The Franchise]

I can't believe all the second guessing I'm getting from Houston fans in this thread. Let's have no more of this we lost before so it might happen again shit from our own people. Until they fail lets try to give our full support. For the rest of you hateful sluts saying we'll just choke again, I want none of your false congratulations after we win tonight. If you''re going to hate keep it consistent. For you fans from other teams saying the Rockets will win tonight, thanks for your support. :toast Rockets in 6.

[Indazone]

Von Wafer likely out with back injury tonight - per Morey on 610 radio.

Well guess we'll see more of Brent Barry or James White Flight

[Indazone]

Yao was clearly upset with the Rockets' offensive breakdowns in the fourth quarter.

"I was just running. I run baseline to baseline. For about seven or eight times," Yao said. "We didn't organize well. We didn't execute. We didn't know the play (or) what was called."


Hopefully Brooks and our point guards do not do this again.

He (wafer) has been cleared to play.

I see my prediction is going well.

I'm coming over and taking it bitch. Kobe style!!! :king

[kamikazi_player]

haha, so Dallas is not going to the WCF. Kinda knew it anyways

[DAF86]

Should I start a "Rockets will get their collective asses handed to them by the Lakers" thread?

That's too easy. You need to make it a little harder and guess the points margin for each game.
