View Full Version : Rockets VS. Nuggets Game Thread
Game of the night. Should be on ESPN, but we get treated to yet another Celtic game. Im sure it will be a great one vs the Pistons ....
What to look for:
Brooks vs Billups - will Brooks blinding speed be too much for Billups?
Ariza/Battier vs Melo - which defensive style works better? Will either work?
Scola vs. Nene/Birdman - can Scola continue his sizzling shooting vs decent players?
Jordan Hill - Is he a legit player in this league now that he is out of the void?
Predictions:
- Nuggets jump out to an early lead, Rockets cut into it with bench play
- Billups is the high scorer for the night, Nene above average
- Someone on the Nuggets has major foul trouble, ill say Birdman/Nene
- Close game, undecided on winner
:corn:

Why is Houston throwing doubles at Melo when Battier has him locked up.

Martin is playing well too.
Has Jordan Hill shown anything since coming over?

He can shoot the jumper and can rebound
Hill is the man, he is really active as a big. NY was really stupid to give him up.

Thank goodness for Hill. We finally have someone who can defend a big well other than Chuck.

Crofl did anyone here legler pick the Mavs to win it all?
He seems to be a huge Dallas homer (he also picked the Cowboys to win the SB).
Hopefully the Rox can pull this one out. Not feeling overly confident though. They need to tighten up the D a bit to win.
Rockets are finally fully healthy, sans Yao, and playing great ball. 68 in the first half was unheard of in the Yao/Mac era. Rebounding is keeping Denver in the game, so if our shots stop falling we could surrender our lead.

I think this is Cleveland's year. I know the Lakers are the defending champs, but the Cavs have plenty of playoff experience of their own and they have performed the strongest to date.
Jesus Melo is blowing by Ariza at will. There is no reason for Battier to not be glued to Anthony the entire game.

No ONE can stop melo when he gets hot, he is one the best offensive players in the game.
BUT MAny Laker fans SAID that Melo routinely torched Ariza ...when folks aked why let go Ariza and sign Artest ...

It's crazy how we didn't have ONE all star this year, oh well!
The Third Man
03-15-2010, 11:41 PM
I think it's crazy how quickly Adelman and Morey retooled this team into a potentially upper echelon offensive team. The defense and rebounding have taken a real hit, but man, the back court can put up some numbers. It's also amazing how much better Ariza is as a 4th option than as a scoring two guard.

Ariza as a number 4 option >>>>>>>>>> Artest as a number 1 option

The refs tried everything they could to give the Nuggets this game. That last drive to the basket, when Melo took five steps after picking up the ball was ridiculous.

You must not have been watching Rocket games since we got Kevin Martin. We have no problems scoring, but we don't have the size inside to stop anyone right now. I think once Yao gets back, and Morey drafts a defensive minded big to back him up, we'll be set next year to kick some serious ass.
melo traveled BAD on that last shot, but he was insane just tearing ariza up at the game. Anybody hear those Chicken Nugget chants? Funny shit.

Why did they switch Battier off him? He had him in check the entire time I saw, what kind of move is that?

Brooks vs Billups - will Brooks blinding speed be too much for Billups?
:king
Ariza/Battier vs Melo - which defensive style works better? Will either work?
Not until the last seconds, when it counted. :king
Scola vs. Nene/Birdman - can Scola continue his sizzling shooting vs decent players?
:toast
Jordan Hill - Is he a legit player in this league now that he is out of the void?
:ihit Not sure yet.
Nuggets jump out to an early lead, Rockets cut into it with bench play
This happened in the last few minutes!
Someone on the Nuggets has major foul trouble, ill say Birdman/Nene
lol Billups
Close game, undecided on winner
