Denver Nuggets at Houston Rockets, Dec 16, 2008 7:30 PM CST
I have a busy day today, so this is going to be short and sweet (probably more crappy than sweet, but you get the point)
The Match-Ups:
Billups will own Brooks, he's too strong to be stopped by him. That said, Brooks will get his points, hopefully he passes well tonight
McGrady owns a big edge here.
Carmelo went down early in our last game, the Nuggets still won. With a full game from him it could be difficult. Battier will play some strong defense, but Melo is a big guy.
Scola is better than Martin, there, I said it
Yao will destroy Nene, it won't be close. No high altitude to harm him this time. Yao will be the difference in this game.
If any of you have any points of view on this game, feel free to put them in the comments, I'm going to go ahead and publish this now.

J.R. Smith destroyed the Mavericks last night...
He scored 17 points in the 4th quarter. If we get Artest back and we play good defense we have a pretty good chance. Too bad Steve Francis is out of shape…. “We want Steve”

Anyone around tonight?
Great start for the good guys!

We started the first quarter strong
But then kinda fizzed out near the end with a sloppy turnover by Hayes, then multiple lapses on the defensive end including a ridiculous 3-pt play off a missed FT. Man…

The nuggets shooting like 80% is what is killing us

I think Worrell and Drexler's insane amount of bias is getting to me
by Tom Martin on Dec 16, 2008 8:32 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
It bothers me too
At least Calvin was funny when he was insanely biased

TMac
I love when we see TMac out there and not Tracy
He’s 1 assist from a triple double
by UofTOrange on Dec 16, 2008 9:16 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
And he gets it
And there is time left in the 3rd quarter

Brooks
is unloading plenty of Rafers tonight.

That three pointer was crazy far off. I guess he got a bad view of the basket?
by UofTOrange on Dec 16, 2008 9:22 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Possibly
Brooks isn’t too good with Views.

I just looked at the stats
And I had absolutely no idea that Artest had 10 points
by UofTOrange on Dec 16, 2008 9:23 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
I'm loving Chauncey's 6 shots and 6 points.
Everyone questioned if we could guard him tonight without Rafer. Um, yes, we can.

This has nothing to do with the Rockets
But I just finished making some jambalaya, and it rules in every possible way

I really miss Gene and Jim
Ackerman does a good job, but it’s just not the same

Wish I'd heard them
But I can’t say I listened to them much. Too bad that I missed their era.

They are the greatest basketball announcers in history
It’s not close
They are doing the 4th quarter right now, but the online feed is about 30 seconds behind the live stuff. I’m listening anyway just to hear them one last time
by UofTOrange on Dec 16, 2008 9:31 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Ya, I'm listening to it there. I'm very happy they are doing this
by UofTOrange on Dec 16, 2008 9:36 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
You mofos!!!
Go back to Gene and Jim!!!

Carmelo is good
But honestly, I thought he’d be great by now

Ron Ron should have Hulk Hogan'd it all the way there
Put the hand to the ear, etc
by UofTOrange on Dec 16, 2008 9:41 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
He got close
And then…well, I’m not really sure what happened. He’s only a pure scorer, doesn’t do a whole lot else.
Rawn does not miss from the top of the key, by the way.
by Tom Martin on Dec 16, 2008 9:41 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
I'm still upset with him
He ruined TJ Ford and the Longhorn’s Final Four run

Nothing to do with the Rockets
But John Salmons has 20 of the Kings’ 31 points right now. Remind anyone of McGrady in his Orlando days?

I'd also like to take this non-Rockets moment
to say all of you that knocked DJ Augustin as an NBA player were WRONG.
Another awesome night 29 points, 7 assists

Yao's shot chart is awesome
Only 3 of his 19 shots have come outside of the deep paint
by UofTOrange on Dec 16, 2008 9:46 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
15, 14 and 10 by McGrady
Thank you for doing what I’ve wanted from you for 3 years Tracy.
by UofTOrange on Dec 16, 2008 9:53 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
This has been a magnificent game. Two high quality teams going right at each other and playing good ball.
Yao has been superb tonight. Dominant and controlling the paint on either end of the court.
Tracy has been fantastic. He’s changing the course of the game and doing without scoring, and making life easier for his teammates.

That last sentence is what we need from Tracy from now on
by UofTOrange on Dec 16, 2008 9:55 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Agreed

Defense was what won the game
18 point 3rd and 17 point 4th for the Nuggets
