Game Thread: Your Houston Rockets at The Clippers - 12/2/09

Post #1 » by **Mr. E** » Wed Dec 2, 2009 8:26 pm

VS.

The Where: Staples Center, Los Angeles
The Why: Rockets vs. Clippers
The When: 9:30 PM CST

PF – Luis Scola

SF – Shane Battier

C – Chuck Hayes

SG – Trevor Ariza

PG – Aaron Brooks

Co-Starring:

Carl Landry

Kyle Lowry

David Andersen

Chase Birdinger

Featuring:

My All-Time Favorite SI Swimsuit Issue Picture

And Alan Rickmann as “Hans Gruber”

Starting for the Clippers:

PF – Marcus Camby
SF – Al Thorton
C – Chris Kaman
SG – Eric Gordon
PG – Baron Davis

Gordon may be out for the game. Scola is definitely in. Brooks & Lowry traditionally play well against Baron Davis. Small ball will be the key as they have the major height advantage.

The Clippers are big. Big PG, big SF and two seven footers in the starting lineup.

they also had 3 players who where healthy last season

on paper and size they seem better
but the rockets have this element in them that seem to make them believe they beat anyone out there.

The picture I have of Ariza for the game lineup in the first post is a screenshot of him after that game where he went 11/17 for 33 points.

I'd like to replace that picture with better shooting for more points eventually!

Thought Landry is starting this game?

YaoZaii · Post #10 » by **YaoZaii** » Thu Dec 3, 2009 2:58 am

that was like once in many games... ariza seriously needs to go for shooting practices. he's a bit clutch sometimes though.

i would love to see all 3, Tmac, Yao and ariza playing togther... but it may never happen.

I hope we whoop some Clipper ass tonight. I wanna see the Chuckwagon lock down Kaman too.

Scola is playing good. Not sure who is starting though.

Hey All, been moving house, and haven't had the net for about a week and a half. I hope this is a good game, and that we play hard.

Let's just get the W!

The Clippers are so long. Their 3rd tallest guy Thorton is the same height as our biggest.(scola)
