Yao at the line with 49 secs and up by 1, ok settle down made both,93-90 nice Tracy just jack up a 3 :. 16 secs Warriors ball down by 3, this could be it
This is one freaky match, that Zarko was just insane in the fourth...once Juwan was out they made their run 4 seconds left and we're up 3 Wesley just hit two free throws..
sighhh... what a relief!!!! we won by 3.. but we surely musn't repeat the same mistake again : can't retain the lead... I'm concerned bout juwan howard's injury though.. hope he's okay
We win! Very good FT's down the stretch from Wesley, but TMac took many suspect shots. 9-29 the whole game isn't nice. Nobody shot very well, but Yao was a big factor on the boards. Now I can go to sleep in comfort with the knowledge that we're on a five game winning streak!
Juwan's injury looked like it could be very serious. If we lose him for the season, that really hurts. He's our second low post option after Yao, and he's been rebounding well recently.
What a scary game. Golden State almost beat us with their 3 points shootout barrage. It's a good thing they went cold after nearly tying the game. Another good rebounding game by the Rockets. Our balance scoring has won us the game despite poor shooting from Yao,TMac,Barry and James. I hope Juwan Howard's injury might not be serious. A few games of rest would be fine. Weatherspoon and Baker should prepare if the case went worse. Baker still has game left in him if given the playing time and confidence.
Good game, almost had it. :*( We suffered Shaqaritus on the free throw line. Gotta love the W's heart, though. Jrich couldn't hit but got 11 boards, 8 assists, and a steal. Not bad contribution for guys that can't buy a bucket. Zarko went nuts and Pietrus did his best Kobe impression this season. 3 buzzer beaters I think.
Howard got injured? OH NO!!! He's been playing great over the past month or 2. If he is out, A rotation of Weatherspoon and Padgett is still pretty solid. Spoon is a solid low post player who can hustle and box out. Padgett, although streaky, is also a good hustle player, and we all know what he is capable of.
And we also have Vin Baker, who might finally have a chance to show what he can do. Howard was a valuable low-post option, though, so this is really tough. I wouldn't be surprised if we see T-Mac playing the four much more this season. I'm guessing Padgett will be starting now.
McGrady playing the four? Wow I just can't imagine that, he doesn't really have the toughness to bang down low. Anyways, it was kind of a bittersweet win since we almost lost, bad shooting night for everyone, and Howard got that injury. From the looks of it, it can go either way- long term or short term. Thats what I'm really concerned about, he's a huge part of this team so we'll see how Weatherspoon, Padgett, or Baker play to fill his position.
