Yey! We beat the top team in the league! Team effort! <div class="quote_poster">Quoting WadeDynasty:</div><div class="quote_post">DAMN! Mutombo&James killed us tonight. I was still on the edge on my couch until the end because something very similar to T-Mac's comeback against the Spurs was happening but we couldn't finish like he did. Props to the Rockets. Wade sucked tonight tho Just not his day... Shaq won the battle against Yao as usual but Shaq didn't have too much impact tonight either. Again, good win for you the Rockets and good luck in playoffs!</div> Thanks dude. Glad to know you aren't like some fans that don't accept defeat and find a way to make our wins sound bad
Yeah I know exactly what you are talking about Some fans just can't get over the fact that their fav team just lost a game...No team's been perfect....and we did lose 16 times before this one... Loss isn't always bad. Hopefully we can rebound from this loss and win against the Suns on Friday. My fav player stays humble so the fans should stay humble too
Great Game by Dikembe! 15 rbs, not bad for a 54 year old. Houston has some great players in James, Sura, and Dikembe. I think next year they should be a 3rd or 4th place team. Miami really suffered without Haslem and Laettner. Doleac has no post-move repetoire. Mourning couldn't box out Dikembe for the 8 minutes he played. Dikembe was a monster. Tmac hit a nice 3 over Eddie Jones. Damon's 4-point play was wicked too, set some pressure up. Mike James lit it up too.
I didnt get to see this game but the result is awesome! We should of won by more, Mike James should of hit at least 1 of those free throws at the end, but it doesn't matter! We ended our losing streak! and we ended Miami's winning streak, we are awesome! T-Mac still shooting poorly, but he's getting some points and has been good in the clutch, i'm a happy rocket fan
Not having laettner or Haslem really cancels out our not having Juwan Howard since the Heat actually have depth at the spot and dont rely so much on him. Good win by the rockets and awsomel by deke. Really hope we resign hem case we didnt miss Yao for a second.
I wouldn't say that, Haslem is so huge for their team. He does all the dirty work inside. On the offensive end and on the boards. He is a very underrated player. This was a good game, the Rockets nearly threw the game away but kept their nerve.
Mutombo played with great energy last night, while Yao tried hard but he couldn't stay away from the fouls. McGrady didn't have his shot on again, but still got 26 points. James sucked...couldn't hit free throws and made a stupid foul in the end on Damon Jones. A win is still a win, even though it was against a depleted Heat team. Now let's catch up to the Kings if possible.
This was probably the 2nd best win I've seen from the Rockets this season (first was the T-Mac show vs San Antonio)... Too bad Yao picked up some stupid fouls again, he shouldn't be jumping out at Wade and other perimeter players, I'm sure with a hand up that's like 9+ feet they have to shoot over already..
Free Throws, which were our strength for 3 quarters, was almost the death of us in the 4th. I was at the game, it seemed like a playoff atmosphere to me. Another horrendous game shooting from the stripe, but we are due and should get our % back up.
I knew Houston would win this one. This will stir in some confidence in them. They have been a spleeper in the playoffs and when they beleive in themselves, they'll be okay.
