[Severe Rockets Fan]

Finally! Our first home game!
Rox 95 Kings 92.

[rich_argh]

if tmac plays like yesterday night then win winnie

or if yao ming SOMEHOW steps up and owns everybody win winnie

[swhwong]

Home opener, TMac just coming off a big game, we're going for two in a row...

90 Rox
85 Kings

[ivanyy2000]

Home opener. I hope it is a win.

94 : 85 Rox

Yao has to stay away from foul trouble and perform. Deke probably will be tired after playing heavy minutes yesterday.

[jcantu]

With plenty of rest from yesterday (22 min.), Yao should have a monster home coming game.
Rockets will win!

[RocksMillenium]

One good thing, we're well acquainted with Sacramento. The Kings ran the majority, if not all, of their starters against the Rockets in China. I love the Rockets chances in this one, especially coming off a big win and finally playing a home game.

[Stack24]

We win this game as well because of the hype of the crowd...

Ill be part of that crowd....=) can't wait.

[lost_elephant]

Tmac Tripple Double
Yao 25 and 15
Boki posterizes someone
Toyota Center Crowd goes crazy as the rockets rout the kings

[jiggadi]

Mo Taylor sets the pace offensively and defensively tonight. He loves playing against Webber. If Mo can play hard on opposing forwards and I mean the Mo Taylor that will fight you if you get out of line then its on. I think that he is totally pumped this year playing next to a true scorer like T Mac and we will see a lot out of him this year. Go Rox!

[ataniwan]

Guys, What can I do in order to watch tonight game?:confused: I live in LA and had to buy NBA League Pass cos live in LA, but my stupid local cable doesn't have NBA TV. Usually if on NBA TV, then there will be not on NBA League pass. So not fair for those who paid expensive league pass like me and got to miss almost 10 games of all Rockets games. I think i should blame on League pass company too cos they should show every game on League pass, not some on local channel some on league pass. :mad:

[vaioavan63]

be real yall :rolleyes:

Yao- 8 points, 3 rebounds, 6 fouls, gets his shot blocked by bibby, christie, and stojakovic gets dunked on by Cwebb, brad miller, and songiala,



Tmac- 32 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assist, nuff said

[porsche911]

Rockets Lose:

Rockets: 64
Kings: 93

Yao: 2 pts. 4 Rebounds, Fouls out of the game
Mutombo: 10pts. 10blocks

[brush]

If Yao comes to play, we win 95-90.
If not, we lose 85-100. Just cannot imagine that last year's orlando beats Kings.

[artificial]

I think the offense is a lot less tentative. But the defensive hole is still on the power forward spot. The difference from the Grizz game is Brad Miller will only shoot his mid-range jumpers. And Webber settles more on jump shooting now. Unless TMac, JJ, and Ward are able to creating some troubles in the passing lane, I think it's going to be more difficult to stop the Kings than the Grizz.

[WNBA]

100:80 Kings.

Ouch that is a bit extreme don't you think?

[jopatmc]

My prediction:

This is the game that Yao stays on the floor and TMac gets him off. This is the gell game. Tmac and Yao both go off for 20+ and the floor opens up for the 3 point shooters. High scoring affair with Rockets winning.

[gbritton]

HAHAHA!

[zong]

WIN!

[Stack24]

Rockets 94
Queens 90

[rox-ming]

rockets will win but yao will suffer one more time

[isoman2kx]

rockets win......


yao shows more signs of breaking out with 20 pts

mcgrady with 27, bench rolls over kings when it matters


90-86 rockets

[saleem]

If Yao struggles again we won't win. They are stronger than Memphis. We have never been able to overcome the passing game of the Kings which will be our biggest problem tonight along with their shooting.
Our perimeter defense is terrible.
Kings 95
Rockets 80

[Phreak3]

Kings don't look too good this season and Rockets are due for a win against them. So, Rockets win. Yao w/14 points but breaks out w/18 FGA.

[DavidS]

Our record vs the Kings last year is 0-4.

Valde is gone. But Brad Miller is there (the Yao killer ;) )! Let see if Yao has a breakout game.

[Tdogg]

hmmm... let's see

T-mac 30 pts 9 asts

Yao 8 pts 4 reb

Ohhh, that was last night!

Well, if it was good enough for a win, then let's keep the ball rolling.

[clove]

protect the home court!

rockets win big: 95-80

yao: 25 pts(gets 3 assists from tmac), 10 boards
5 turnovers, 2 on offensive foul, striped 2 times, 1 falling down with the ball. gets blocked by bibby 2 times.

tmac: 29 pts, 7 assists, 7 rebounds

deke: 3 blocks, 6 rebounds. I love this guy.

[RocketsPimp]

Someone needs to let Yao know the season has started and that he's not supposed to be a stiff.

[mateo]

I think the NBA league pass is free this week....I'm getting it free here in NYC at least.

[rvpals]

Hope Yao takes off his black Brace on the elbow and score 30 or more points. T Mac can get about 35 points. Yao Mac combo combine for 30 assists.

Rox win.

unless yao and T-Mac pass to each other and they make shots they won't be getting 30 assists but one can wish hehe...the odds of someone else making a shot is slim so we have to wish for the best =)

I will be waiting for breakout from Yao. Rox will win the openning game.:)

You can say a lot of negatives about Webber, but he's not overrated.

damn. hate to say it, but it does sound more realistic than some of the other posts here.

i'm just hoping that yao can get the 15-17 points to offset miller and that the rox can keep b. jackson and songalia quiet. if so, i think it could be a win.

[maderzhao]

Well said!!!

It's obvious there! Put up with good number but their teams always stink.

I haven't been able to find one so I don't think so.

[Charvo]

Everyone but TMac needs to step out to the perimeter and shoot jumpshots. I'd strongly consider putting Yao on Webber if Mo is getting mowed over like he did in the game in Beijing. Webber is the only guy who posts up now for the Kings.

[London'sBurning]

Doesn't your statement almost prove the fact that he is???

All the 'experts' talk about how good he is and how much better he makes the team - and yet there is a ton of negative things that can be said about him!

It's questionable as to whether or not he makes them better - check the win% with and without him the past 3 seasons!

Overrated!

[Charvo]

Yao should be shooting jumpers only now. The guy can rest his left elbow since the act of shooting a jumper is much less strenuous then laying the ball up or dunking. If he spots up from the high post, he can also get back on defense quickly. When Yao gets elbow healed up, then he can ease back into the low post offense.

If Yao can't shoot the jumper, they might as well play Dikembe more minutes.

When Webber played in the playoffs the only team the Kings couldn't beat were the eventual champions and one year they were screwed. When he didn't they lost to the Mavs. I think he made his team better.

[Charvo]

It looks like Yao has some of his mojo back.

[pgabriel]

Not trying to take anything from the Rockets but the Kings look old.

[jediknight94595]

Why doesn't Yao use his body to wear down Miller??? Just run into him! I guess Yao doesn't like body contact. What a wuss. :mad:

[Nick]

Originally posted by pgabriel

Its because they aren't making shots that they normally make... if those fall, they'll be the same as always.

They've never been based on much atleticism or defense... just great markmanship.

[patlabor1]

when Yao was in he gave the team so many open shots. Our guys kept bricking them all except t-mac, we could of had such a bigger lead.

The Kings are a brick machine tonight.

Bibby still looks a great shooter. I do see less ball movement which I expected without Vlade. Peja is not the same player. He's in a greater funk than Yao is.

They're all missing... honestly, they're lucky to only be down 5. They're not playing particularly great defense, and they're not executing well offensively.

Also, JJ is giving points away both with is lack of a shot, and his tech.

[patlabor1]

JJ sux tonight

Biddy did a Payton on hitting the Great Wall:D

[hotballa]

omg, Jimmy please stop shooting, you dont have it tonight

I don't know if the Rockets can win without the 3 point shooters at least shooting a decent percentage.

[Texas Stoke]

well so much for T-Mac always initiating the offense... he's done very little of that thus far.. and Howard needs to realize he is not the first option when Yao and Mcgrady are on the floor together. we better not lose to these guys...Sacramento is well rested and I am sure our guys legs are tired from 4 games in 5 nights with 3 of those on the road but we're better than this team.

[artificial]

FFFFFUUUVVVVKKK, burn JVG in helllllll. Yao had his position but they swing the ball to Howard.

[plcmts17]

Too many stupid fouls on the Rockets part. That coupled with terrible shooting will equal a long night of catching up. But they're only down eight which isn't bad..... I guess.

Don't you know that Howard is playing for his career 17 and 8 record.

The concept of self sacrifice is a theory and not a practice with Howard.

4 games in 5 nights with each game being in a different arena is as ridiculous as it can get for a NBA schedule. The Rockets are paying the price for the NBA wanting them on national TV so much. NBA TV has them tonight.

The next Trivia Pursuit sports edition is going to have

"What team did the expansion team Charlotte Bobcats defeat for its 1st win ever?"

Steve and his Magic are now in the history books

I agree, this is one of the most ridiculous opening week schedules I've ever seen.

[adw]

Rockets get called for everything...amazing.

[plcmts17]

this is getting ugly.They have got to stop taking quick shots and work it around a bit.

[crash5179]

the officiating in this game is clearly one sided. The Rockets are not allowed to touch the queens but the queens are allowed to put their hands all over the Rockets and foul with out retribution. makes me want to kick the crap out of the officials on the court.

[RocketsPimp]

Well, I've been waiting to see this team before I decided if I wanted to shell out $160 for NBA League Pass and I've decided that I am going to pass. These guys are boring to watch on a regular basis. There is no flow to their offense, no movement, no excitement whatsoever. Their defense is ok, but inconsistent. Yes, I know they are still learning how to play together, so call me when they've learned in January. In the meantime, I'll spend my money elsewhere and catch them on TNT, TBS or whatever other national TV spot they have every week.

Check out Miami. Check out Washington. Those are some fun teams to watch.

[Charvo]

I've always thought Bibby was a great shooter, but tonight's exhibition is just ludicrous.

[vcchlw]

JJ hits his first field goal. Let's hope it's a good sign.:rolleyes:

[steddinotayto]

van chancellor needs to SHUT UP

I would rather have Lue on the court. Ward just can't keep up with Bibby!:mad:

[hotballa]

JJ, for the love of God, plz stop shooting

[vcchlw]

Oh! Look at the box score. That's just ugly. Except McMing the third leader scorer in our team only get 5 points. I start to think that JVG is rite when he talked about there is not enough support for T-Mac and Yao.

[Charvo]

It's way too tough to guard the Kings when they are making jumpshots from long distance with extreme accuracy.

[steddinotayto]

Originally posted by hotballa

i think someone from the kings was talking about his momma before the game. this is uncharacteristic of jj

[hotballa]

As fo right now, everyone on the Rox outside of TMac and Yao is 1 for something, with the excpetion of Lue who is 2-3

[tinypure]

Field goal of JJ+C.Ward+Taylor+J.Howard=4/23 !

if we had a decent shooting PG or PF we'd be in business but so far Howard can't hit anyhthing and our PGs are inconsistent...

JJ needs to keep on jackin them up

Van and coop needs to go back to the women's league

[hotballa]

damn JJ made one, now hes gonna be shooting even more 3's

[tinypure]

good, JJ is on fire now

C.Ward ' d better stop shooting!

[scotia]

JJ 1 for 9, C Ward 1 for 5 , M Taylor 1 for 5, J Howard, 1 for 5 :eek: :confused:

[hotballa]

Houston is 8-22 from long range. yes folks, they've taken 22 3-point shots. Sactown, known for its shooters has only attempted 9 from downtown

[Nick]

Name of the game.... make your wide open shots.

Or maybe just make HALF of your wide open shots.

If the Rockets do that today, they have the lead...

[steddinotayto]

i'm willing to bet that if we replace howard and ward with bullard and brooks we'd be up by 20 by now. our perimeter shooting is just too inconsistent.

[Mooch]

man ward make ur threes please!! missed 2 in 20sec

[bigballerj]

Ward is killing us. :mad:

I'm surprised the Rockets are this close with the Kings hitting shots from everywhere while the Rockets are just not hitting jumpshots at all except for TMac.

[J-Baller]

77-68 now

[steddinotayto]

it's basically 5 on 2 right now. Kings vs. Yao and Tmac

[Charvo]

This is a valiant effort by the Rockets. Win or lose, the crowd should appreciate them fighting with such intensity after a ridiculous string of games.

[vcchlw]

Howard and Ward start to make some shots, finally...

[hotballa]

Whoever made this schedule for the Rox should be strung up and shot

because tmac fall because the wet floor :(

[plcmts17]

the nba tv announcer is soooo freaking annoying. he's a rabid queen fan and terrible at play by play. he said something to the effect that it was peja's killer d that was responsible for t mac blowing the last play. what a a joke.

[clove]

I hate nbatv.

First good game we have, I can't watch it on league pass. I feel like slapping bibby's head right now.

let's go rox. if we pull this out and still can't get people to come and watch the games, rox should move to a different city.

[J-Baller]

OVERTIME

GO ROCKETS!!!

[abcmemory]

JJ played poor,but at least put him in now.

[vcchlw]

Damn! Suddenly we are down by 4!

[Miguel]

CHARLUE WAAAAAAAAAARD!

[patlabor1]

They hit Yao at the back and no call?

BS NBA officiating!!!

Ward is now officially a Rocket. Ward needs to thank Jesus. I know he probably prayed for those 3s.

[Plowman]

:D :D :D

He's thanking Tinman

[qian]

C-Ward 3 pt shooting machine, 4-11 tonite

[Deuce]

Hilarious that Ward is 4-11 in FGs and ALL of them are 3pt shots. Just goes to show you how important the 3pt shot is for us to hit at the PG position.

[darkwarrior]

cward is magic!!!!!!

[clove]

how many wide open shots did we get tonight?

[abcmemory]

the supporting cast jacked up so many shots because they believe Yao and T-mac will bail them out. And finally ward made some good shots. bravo!

[hotballa]

I need a respirator after this game, that and a clean towel

[houskets]

[TECH]

It seems that when McGrady penetrates, our other players know that standing and watching is not the thing to do......:D

[hotballa]

I dont think I can stomach it if this game goes into 2OT

[forebay]
