Rockets vs Celtics Game Thread

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

on tnt. should be worth watching

[JackArse]

rockets win tonight.. hate saying that..

they'll lose to either NO or the suns.

i'd say NO first.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

tnt's pregame halftime and post game show are the shit. thats usually why i watch when spurs aren't on, the exception being a game like this.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

i wonder if this game was scheduled or tnt used some kinda flex option.

[SAtown]

Fight!

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

yeah this game will be good

[SAtown]

i wonder if this game was scheduled or tnt used some kinda flex option.

It's gotta be a flex option. National tv games usually aren't on Tuesdays.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

guys in the nba know not to swing. or they are all pussies. or if they are melo, they hit and run

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

It's gotta be a flex option. National tv games usually aren't on Tuesdays.

right . thats what i thought. a single header on tnt?

[SAtown]

This reminds me of the Celtics Spurs game last night. Celtics are melting down early, but they'll probably get it together

[SAtown]

a single header on tnt?

That's odd too.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

What is up with Alston throwing his elbow in Rando's throat?

skips all confident and such.

[SAtown]

What's up with Boston's bench? They fucking walk around the court and the baseline talking shit to the fans whenever they score. They were doing that shit last night in SA also. WTF?

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

anybody think Scola will get ROY ? no way , right :reading

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

i really see a thug mentality from them. you have to look for it, but its there. They will not make it past Detroit. IMHO

[SAtown]

But it's not even Cassell that does this. He talks on the court a lot (most of it probably joking around), but it's annoying to see bench warmers talking shit

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

"not in your house" :nope

[Amuseddaysleeper]

what a shot, damn

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

I don't know who I want to win :lol

me either

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

where the fuck are the Rocket and Celtic fans?

got me? :smokin

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

Well, I think the way the Spurs are playing right now..I believe we need Boston to win right?

yeah, but if they gonna win the D. F it , id rather see more potential history.

maybe at least that'll get the scola haters in here

[duncan228]

Yes, we need a Boston win.
Damn.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

Yes, we need a Boston win.
Damn.

i guess we could catch houston

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

Scola gettin bitched around in there

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

what do ya think canoe?

[SpursFanFirst]

me either

BREAK THE STREAK! BREAK THE STREAK! :ihit
I want Houston to lose.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

this is a pretty exciting game, especially for a low scoring one which is awesome

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

BREAK THE STREAK! BREAK THE STREAK! :ihit
I want Houston to lose.

Hey SFF. I guess you're right i just really hate the celts right now.
like alot.

[SpursFanFirst]

Hey SFF. I guess you're right i just really hate the celts right now.
like alot.

Hey! :)
Yeah, but the Celtics losing doesn't help or hurt us in any way...if the Rockets lose, that will help...Plus, I'm tired of hearing about that streak.

[SAtown]

Hell of a game.

[ShoogarBear]

I wonder if Clyde Drexler is saying, "It's over!"

[Pistons < Spurs]

Go Rockets!!!

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

Hey! :)
Yeah, but the Celtics losing doesn't help or hurt us in any way...if the Rockets lose, that will help...Plus, I'm tired of hearing about that streak.

absolutely correct. its just that the celts losing helps me in some strang way. still pissed, but Go Celts !



see that just didnt feel right

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

skip lookin and soundin like a whiney lil girl

[SpursFanFirst]

ugh...c'mon, Celtics! :bang

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

yall see what they did to TM? thugs i tell ya

[Hank the Tank]

lets go rockets! keep that streak alive.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

so i was givin myself a haircut yesterday with a half inch guard and it fell off right when i took a good swipe.
i was pretty much done too.
needless to say my hair is very short right now

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

yeah i knew it was random but if someone posted that i figured id laugh.
i been told to wear sunscreen for a few days

[Gino]

Man...the rockets are a much better defensive team than the Spurs...

That or Rondo his all of hit lucky shots on Sunday.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

I hope you're talking about hair on your head.

no im a sunbather and it was my balls.
i do not want sunburnt balls

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

skip- " Yeah, and did i mention we dont have Yoa Ming?"

[Capt Bringdown]

Young role players stepping up for the Celtics, as they have done all season. Powe with 13...who?
Celtics are a team.

[Tippecanoe]

this is the one thing i hate about rajon rondo. he's so inconsistent. he can go out, torch the other team for 20 points, and then come back the next game and miss every single shot he takes.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

Celtics= Mavs reg season syndrome
when they lose a couple to detroit in the playoffs , they will have no answers
they dont know how to lose and it doesnt look as if they will learn before the playoffs.
Rockettes>Celtics

[DOMINATOR]

this is the one thing i hate about rajon rondo. he's so inconsistent. he can go out, torch the other team for 20 points, and then come back the next game and miss every single shot he takes.
because he's young.

[Roxsfan]

Skip-to-my-turnover better get a handle :devil

Pierce is such a walmart big, with the lucky bank :rolleyes

[ShoogarBear]

Okay, Mavs came back but lost, now what's going on here?

[bdictjames]

The Rockets are the best team to utilize the worst talent.. props to Adelman. He should be COY

[remingtonbo2001]

Celtics should pull out a victory, but who knows.

This has been the most UN-FUCKIN-PREDICTABLE year in Sports that I've ever seen.

Not in golf anyways. :drunk

[Capt Bringdown]

This has been the most UN-FUCKIN-PREDICTABLE year in Sports that I've ever seen.

There's been a lot of trade activity that's for sure. Some of it very predictable.

A cynic can't help but note that there's a lot of people who are very happy that the Lakers and Celtics have been restored.

[Hank the Tank]

fuck...this doesnt look good. boston is just too fuckin good...gonna sweep texas. cmon hou.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

i don't know who I want to win today, Dallas lost a game so that's good for our division..

But if Houston beats boston, it'll mean they did what we couldn't do yesterday, and that kinda sucks

[Cry Havoc]

That is a HORRIBLE flagrant call. Wtf.

[Capt Bringdown]

Boston, even without one of their superstars, on the verge of a Texas sweep.

First overcoming a 22-point hole last night, and now ending Houston's NBA recording breaking winning streak.

As if they needed anymore confidence.

The Mavs had a lot of confidence going into the playoffs last year, too.

[Indazone]

IT's T-Mac Time!

[Capt Bringdown]

The Mavs had a lot of confidence going into the playoffs last year, too.

Celts are not the Mavs. Better players, better team play, a solid defensive orientation, and perhaps even better coaching.

[Allanon]

Well, it was an impressive run Rockets. 22 is a nice even # and the 2nd longest streak ever.

[Findog]

The Mavs had a lot of confidence going into the playoffs last year, too.

The Celtics aren't soft pussies.

[robbie380]

well it was a good run rockets. celts are just that good and we don't stand a chance without a guy who can dominate the middle like yao. it's games like this that make it even more disappointing that yao got hurt for the year.

just got to pick it up tomorrow. I think we have the hornets, right?

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Rockets had a great run :clap Nice job.

Now back down to earth you go. :toast

Cassell could put Boston over the top and lead them to the promise land for his third time. He's definitely a playoff player for them.

So Boston and Detroit seem to be the two great teams this year.

Hopefully Lebron pulls an upset on both of them. :lol

[ShoogarBear]

WTF? When did Mr. Dictionary become a color commentator for TNT?

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I like how Scola takes on KG..despite being an undersized big, guy's not a softie .

[dirk4mvp]

most of the rocketfan cockroaches will be gone after this game at least.

[Allanon]

That KG dunk was probably what KG thinks of the Rockets streak.

Celtics running up the score?

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

That KG dunk was probably what KG thinks of the Rockets streak.

Celtics running up the score?
Didn't take KG out until the one minute mark :lol

[Capt Bringdown]

The Celtics are playing great right now..if they somehow lose this game you think they are going to start second guessing themselves?
No. They haven't shown any sign of second guessing themselves at all this season. They've responded to the doubters and critics by kicking everyone's ass.

I think second-guessing the Celtics success and comparing them to the Mavs is a mistake. Were the Mavs the number 1 defensive team last year?


We just need to Spurs to get a their swagger back with a couple of good wins!
That and more.

[Allanon]

Didn't take KG out until the one minute mark :lol

Maybe they thought Scola would bring them back into the game? Celtics were only up by 25 points with 5 minutes to go.

[Findog]

There's no comparison between this year's Celtics and last year's Mavs: The Celtics aren't soft pussies, and they won't change their lineup to "match up better" with Atlanta in the first round.

[resistanze]

they won't change their lineup to "match up better" with Atlanta in the first round.
:lol

[Spurminator]

Unfortunate to see so many empty seats. The Rockets deserve a huge standing ovation once this game is over.

[Findog]

Goddamnit, can this night get any worse? The Warriors are going to actually do what the Mavs attempted, finish off a huge comeback.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

boo

[Acedude]

Unfortunate to see so many empty seats. The Rockets deserve a huge standing ovation once this game is over.

There's a reason our players generally play worse in Toyota Center than on the road: We have too many fair-weather fans.

The streak boosted the attendance while it lasted, but i doubt most actually cared about the team before the streak.

It's pathetic.

[ShoogarBear]

:lol

it was pretty weak, I can't believe they abandoned the team that quickly into the 4th quarter.

[SpursFanFirst]

:clap The streak is B-R-O-K-E-N

[SpursFanFirst]

Time to root on Portland!

[Roxsfan]

congrats celtics, though I hate KG

[kingmalaki]

Well it was good while it lasted. If we make the playoffs we will really struggle against teams with size...which should be, hmmm....like every team in the West, lol.

But hey, I guess you would expect that when you lose your 7-6 dude. :blah

[Indazone]

Man, the Rockets need to pick up a big from free agency. We got owned in the rebounding department on both ends of the floor. They also shut us down offensively because all they did was clog up the lane and forced the Rockets to make outside shots. If someone tried to drive in, it was two Boston players on the guy. They had two guys on T-Mac all night. Thibodeau had that defense clicking for Boston. They don't give up anything easily in the lane.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

congrats celtics, though I hate KG
I don't know what happened to KG, but he got really annoying for some reason.

[Capt Bringdown]

I don't know what happened to KG, but he got really annoying for some reason.

He's always been that way. Known for his strained antics such as woofing and mugging for cameras.
I've always disliked him and regarded him as something of a phony.

I'd hate to seem him win a title, but it looks very likely this year.

Duncan just laughs in his face. It'd be a dream come true for the Spurs to somehow pull it together and shut those fuckers down in the finals. They might have to put Garnett on a suicide watch if that happens. I think he regards himself as the anti-Duncan.

[DaDakota]

Wow, did we get our arses handed to us......Tmac played like a wuss, no penetration, and the team basically quit late in the 3rd quarter.

Still 22-1 is not all bad.

:D

:D

DD Thats Tracy Mcagrady´s flaw, wen he plays bad he do it really bad :P he dont likes the middle zones.

[1Parker1]

:pctoss I despise the Celtics. Posey, KG, Pierce, Allen, House....

[1Parker1]

I can't decide what's going to be worse...Seeing the Celtics and Ray Allen and Posey and Pierce win a championship or having watched the Miami Heat and Jason Williams, Walker, and Peyton win a ring....

:depressed

[The Franchise]

congrats celtics, though I hate KG
Yea, they beat the hell out of us. Without Yao they just have way to much size for the Rockets to handle. The better team won tonight. Oh well no time to sulk here comes NO. :hungry:

Last nights' game was a perfect example for why people say he can't lead a team to a championship. He just didn't seem to be into it at all. I credit part of it to the Celtics D but most of it was just Tracie being soft. I miss Yao Ming. :depressed

[ChumpDumper]

No blog tonight?
