    top 100.

    we could win, if it's on road I'd say it's a loss.

    hope a win at home.

    It's a tough game.. Warrior really on the roll..
    Hoping they get tired after the game with Denver and ease Rocket to challenge them.. Yao surely this time will have a good game, Yao will score double2 again.. and 30 more points.. It's a happy new year win will be..

    Considering the situation of our team now, it'll be a miracle if we could win this game.

    this game is gonna be tough

    expecially without tmac

    ..

    but this is the nba and alot of things are possible

    if we are gonna win we're gonna have to do these things

    1.transition defense

    2.lots of scoring

    3.big game from yao

    ..

    if we do those things and score over 100 points we might actually win

    i see

    luther 13 pts. 5 asts

    bonzi 18 pts, 14 rbs

    yao 30 pts, 10 rbs

    scola 15 pts, 5 rbs

    battier 10 pts, 3 stls

    that kind of scoring wins ball games

    along with rebounds.. :)

    We should learn from Lakers on how to control the tempo of the game and grab more rebounds. Lakers can always pull a big win from warriors because they can slow down the pace and play good interior defense.

    I want Yao to drop 50 on the Warriors as a New Year's present .

    If he's getting double and triple team by smaller guys, he should rip them a new hole, elbows and all, and impose his will.

    Happy New Years All!!!

    Wow... a prediction on tonight's game huh... well... i'm gonna say that the Rockets win in a very very close matchup...

    Yao Ming: 30 pts, 14 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 blocks, 3 turnovers

    (T-Mac STILL out so stats on him are N/A.)

    Houston Rockets 108 (Happy 08 guys!) Golden State Warriors 104.

    Yao will have to score 50, otherwise, tough game. The Warriers are much better than the Rockets. Maybe they will have an off night. Barron Davis looks really forward to playing the Rockets. If the Rockets can keep them in a half court set, maybe.

    Since it seems to be a slow day, I'll make my first post. I am a long time season ticket holder, so I am at all the games. At the Toronto game, a good sight to see was the scoreboard showing the balanced scoring by nearly all the guys getting on the floor. Even though the game was tied at the half, I had a good feeling about the team's balance, and thought we had a good chance to win, which we did. I overheard the two guys behind me talking about how Yao and Bonzi were feeding off each other (Bonzi getting good passes and looks from Yao). These fellows continued to say they thought that without Tmac, the offense was working better because the ball movement and the player movement didn't stall as much. I talked with them during the 3rd quarter break, and we all thought that after Tmac gets back, this style of play needs to continue. I plan to watch for this more tonight. I have given up predicting, as I have seen too many games that should have gone one way, only to go the other!

    Another chance to see if this Rockets team can get a "W" against a team that they couldn't beat with tracie in tow. It gonna be tough, but this Rockets Team has shown it plays tough without "you know who".

    Rockets get the win, Tracie cries.
