Sorry for the no show guys, I have midterms tomorow and pretty much studied the whole day. I just found out there was a game today. Anyways, here's a preview courtesy of ESPN. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Houston (13-25) at Detroit (32-5) 6:00 pm EST AUBURN HILLS, Michigan (Ticker) -- Tracy McGrady had a chance to remind everyone what a difference he makes to the Houston Rockets. McGrady tries to lead the Rockets to just their second win in nine games Sunday when they battle the Detroit Pistons for the second time this season. After missing five games with back spasms, McGrady scored 35 points, including the go-ahead 3-pointer with 42 seconds remaining, as the Rockets ended a seven-game losing streak with Friday's 109-108 double-overtime victory over the Chicago Bulls. A two-time scoring champ, McGrady made 13-of-29 shots and grabbed nine rebounds for the Rockets, who averaged just 86.7 points during their losing skid. Houston has dropped all 13 games he has missed this season.</div> Discuss!
Pretty surprisingly, the Rockets are in this game. We're down 63-68 with half the third quarter to go. It's been all TMac, scoring 25 already on 10-17 shooting, and Howard has been chipping in with 12. Other than that, our bench has only scored two points so far.
currently 90-88 Piston lead but we're stil in it with the people we have its pretty amazing....and they just put T-Mac back in...so we'll see go rockets!
Rocket lost. This is a very very good try. I didn't watch this game, but I did keep an eye on eba.com. T-Mac scored 43pt. That's pretty good. I just hope his doesn't hurt himself one more time. Sometimes, I wonder why he works so hard even though he knows there's little chance to get in playoff. It is nice to see Rockets still in the game despite the injure problem. T-Mac is indeed a worrior. I guess he will never give up untill being sent to hospital one more time.
Soooo close! I liked the fact they tried to win with a 3pt shoot. Not lucky at all even with the tap in.
Well I wont be as active as I use to be unless things like today continue...Along w/ everyone else. Great show. Can't get the game winner every time Luther! ; )
WOW i thought this game was gonna be a blow out but mcgrady is starting to show he can play by himself. He may bring this team back if he keeps doin wut hes doin plus yao ming and stromile anderson and barry will be back soon to so its still possible people and jeff should give luther a bigger job on offence like drive and pull ups instead of alwayz only jus three
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting tinyballer:</div><div class="quote_post">jeff should give luther a bigger job on offence like drive and pull ups instead of alwayz only jus three</div>I think it's not Jeff's choice. It seems as if Luther Head is always content to just settle for three, and he really needs to get that off-the-dribble game going. He needs to pump fake at times and then slash to the hole, but he's been doing less and less of that as he's become more of an off-the-ball guy, understandable with Alston back, but he needs to know that just because you're stationed on the wing doesn't mean you have to shoot every time.
Well at least we got close to beating the best team in the NBA (although almost doesn't count).......but Tmac is amazing, bad back and all, he still had 43 points against a great defensive team.
Umm i think Van Gundy's system alwayz gets luther open for threes so luther is just like w/e i am gonna go take em but if we give luther a few isos or give the ball with a man on him he could take him off dribble for pull up or drive in for a layup because come on as we all no he has Great QUickness exemplified by the combine and all. He could really emerge as a true third scorer if he does that because right now he is just an atheletic shooter.
