Suns @ Rockets

[SirStefan32]

This is a very important game. The Suns have got to win this game tonight. If they win they'll be 35-30 and the Rockets 34-31.

Marbury has got to destroy Francis, and Jakes have to push Yao away from the basket, and not let him get the ball 5 feet away from the basket.

The Suns are coming off a huge win against Sacramento. I just hope the good Suns team shows up, not the one that loses to Miami, Golden State, Denver, etc.

play hard on D and don't turn the ball over and they should win.

This game is a playoff game before the playoffs. If the Suns want to control their own destiny they need to tie this series.

Looking forward to Francis v. Marbury.

Alrighty, 95% of the times that I make a prediction I end up being wrong. So, I have stopped making predictions! Instead, on this lazy Sunday afternoon, I simulated a game. (Using NBA2k3)

Suns - 102
Rockets - 93

Key Stats:
Amare: 21 points, 11 rebounds
Marbury: 22 points, 8 assists

Sounds good

 

[JS22]

Yes, Yes it does. ;D

 

[SirStefan32]

I hope we get to see Yao try to guard Stephon on the perimeter. Anybody remembers Yao falling on his butt after that sick crossover?

 

[thegrahamcrackr]

lol how could I forget? That was a favorite on sportscenter for a while.

Houston is favored to win tonight - that's good because we play better when we're supposed to loose. I think it's going to be another nail-biter because both teams want this one. Tomjanovich has his players fired-up and hopefully the Suns are too........ I wouldn't bet any money on this one.

Hey guys I'm new here my name is Matt i've been a huge Suns and Cardinals fan for a long time. I am really excited about the Suns And Rockets tonight but in order for the Suns to win Marbury and Hardaway defintally have to contain Francis and Mobily, and Big Jake needs to stop Yao Ming from getting offense boards and easy layups i'm kind of nervous about Jake vs Yao I have never been a huge Jake fan he is just another white stiff to add to our center list. That win against Sac was huge Marbury played an outstanding game and Hardaway came in and posted some good numbers to. Lets just hope that team shows up tonight against the Rockets cause if the other suns team shows up they are going to get killed. Well I just wanted to say hi to you to guys. GO SUNS WIN TONIGHT!!!

Welcome to the community Matt. I am Stefan.
Nice to have you here.

[JS22]

Hardaway and Tsakalidis are starting.

 

[SirStefan32]

Edit- sorry Fate, didn't see you already posted it.

 

[JS22]

Holy crap, Ive forgotten how big BIG Jake is.

 

[JS22]

lol, I beat ya to it. By about 3 seconds.

 

[JS22]

Crap. Marbury is hurt, and he just airballed two freethrows.

 

[Chaplin]

AND he was hurt when Frank told Jake Voskuhl to provide a screen--and Steph ran into him.

Hopefully it's just a funny bone, but man, those free throws were PATHETIC.

O come on Fate, where's your faith?

Rockets are not going tio shoot 65% the whole game, Suns will pull thios one out

 

[Chaplin]

19 point lead now.

This is a complete and utter coaching failure. Frank Johnson just doesn't know how to coach this team with the newly uninjured guys--Jake, Penny and Googs.

Is it possible, that we could have TOO MANY players, and the coach just can't figure out how the hell to use them all effectively?

 

[JS22]

51-31

ABSOLUTELY F*CKING PATHETIC.

 

[SirStefan32]

Wow, this sucks.

 

[arthurracoon]

I think this game is over. The rockets are doing it all and the suns are doing nothing. The suns need a miracle to come back.

 

[Chaplin]

It's still possible, but these guys just don't want to get the playoffs. Everything came crashing down right after Steph went to the bench injured and missed those free throws.

It's not impossible to come from 20 down in 24 minutes, but it'll be difficult. I hope they at least make it a game in the 2nd half.
