Rockets at Sixers 01/06/09

Houston Rockets at Philadelphia 76ers, Jan 6, 2009 4:00 PM PST


Hou_medium

@

Phi_medium

21-14
13-20
Enemy: The Dream Shake
Prediction: 101-97 Sixers!
7:05 PM est
TV: Comcast SportsNet 
Previous meetings: none
Probable starters:
Rafer Alston PG Andre Miller
Von Wafer SG Willie Green
Tracy McGrady SF Andre Iguodala
Luis Scola PF Thaddeus Young
Yao Ming C Samuel Dalembert

I'm struggling for time right now, but I should be home just in time for tip-off. I'm predicting a Sixers win! With the way they played against the Spurs, I think they have an excellent chance at home tonight against the banged-up Rockets. 7 eastern time. Be here.

Yeah, he's playing.

Recommendation: McGrady is expected to return to action when the Rockets face the 76ers on Tuesday.

Interesting.

Maybe he’ll come off the bench. Either that or Rotowire gave me some bad info.

Check out these quotes from the Rockets Blog.
Green – Really Philly? Willie Green? Really?

that’s awesome.

Williams – Who is Lou Williams?

This really makes me want to see him drop 30.

I think everyone involved in the NBA agrees on the Willie G thing.

Except for Tony DiLeo and Ed Stefanski of course.

I really hope Lou drops 50 now though.

No doubt.

Andre Miller-kind of non-existent, looks a little tired, hasn’t been good, but hasn’t been bad either.
Iggy-started off hot, cooled off, 0-2 free throws pissed me off and he had a missed dunk, although it was contested
Thad-barely noticed him
Willie Green-also started off hot, but still makes stupid plays in all aspects of the game.
Sam-3 minutes
Theo-a slightly better version of Sam
Speights-absolute monster and I repeat MONSTER
Lou-solid

I knew the sixers were bad – but 28th in the league is deplorable – it’s embarassing when teams or players are that bad…i always felt shaq was a bit of a ‘failure’ since he never worked on the easiest part of the game – and joked about how terrible he was at it – an embarassment to his ‘work ethic’ (or an indicator at least)

I agree.

But Shaq might be a unique case.

1. He’s inanely strong.
2. He has huge hands.
3. It’s like shooting a tennis ball into a trash can.

Then again Yao makes his free throws.

No – Shaq isn’t a unique case in that he always seemed to depend on his ’pure athelticism and never worked on his game – yeah he had FREAKISH athleticism – but what did he ever improve at?

whoa

players who can’t shoot at least 80% from the line is one of my biggest pet peeves in basketball….

but since when is ANY part of 4 nba titles, 3 nba finals mvp awards, and a gold medal considered a bit of a failure?.. i dont care if the guy shoots 0% from the stripe if i’m gettin that outta him.. that’s an unreal statement, bro

Oh – and the rebounding is questionable as well

Too much dribbling from Lou.

Makes the shot though.

Speights has to learn when to pass the ball back out and reset

by jemagee on Jan 6, 2009 6:01 PM PST reply actions  

Yao owns Speights.

And there was like 7 blocks in a span of 30 seconds.

Iggy was two shy of 30.

I guess we’ll have to wait another game to get our first 30 point scorer.
