    Tis our game for the taking if the role players don't forget how to shoot again. Yao continues his stellar play and Tracy has a breakout game.

    Rockets win 97-84.

    TMac plays like he's in his 20s again.

    Rockets win. 97-92.

    I just want a healthy McGrady next season, I don't care what he has to do this off-season. Whether it be rest, take time off, whatever, I want it done so we can have our old T-Mac back and be top 7 in the league again.

    I'm just dissapointed because so many people (on this board) are starting to say things like "He'll only go 3 more seasons" or "He'll not be an All-Star after 2 seasons" and even that he'll be like this for the rest of his career.

    I'm willing to bet with about as much rest as Yao got, T-Mac will be fine (not completely healed, since that can't happen, but he'll be MUCH better off). A person who's about to die (as some of you on this board make it seem) couldn't go on a hot streak like T-Mac did this season. He's just in a slump, and he doesn't have the physical capacity or the will to take all that beating by driving in like he used to. Right now his shot isn't falling and that's either because he's in a slump or injuries, or both.

    I agree with most people that T-Mac needs to drive in, but that's only if he was healthy. If he was completely fine and still settling only for outside J's, I would be angry, too.

    I'm just saying, Tracy McGrady needs rest this off-season, a lot of it.

    Rockets win. Yao with another strong game, with at least 25/12.

    i think a more realistic number would be about 92 pts, 40 rebs, and 20 blks, with 10 assists for good measure and the quadruple double

    I love your name, that is funny. Doesn't bring up really positive images but still funny. Reminds me of what my daughter tells her poodle to do, "go take a dookie." And when he gets sick she calls him the "pukester." I hope you take this the right way. :D

    Another must-win, and should-win.

    Just play good defense on them like last game, let AI get as much as he wants (but make him shoot the ball don't let him drive for an easy hoop), while Yao tear it up in the middle, and I don't see why our two big stars won't be able to sit down and enjoy the show early 4th quarter.

    Yao was very upset after losing to the Suns, unless the refs screw it up, the big guy will be an absolute unspeakable terror for the sixers this game. Book it. ;)

    Rox 103 - 78

    Easier said than done. Do you remember how many phantom calls he got last time Rockets played Sixers? But yeah, I expect Rockets to win.

    Yet another post on the Houston Rockets... It was something how I was close on my prediction of the Rockets/Suns Score... Rockets 121, Suns 115... Suns almost scored 115, (111) but Rockets didn't have enough gas to score 27 more points LOL...

    Anyway, on the Philadelphia 76ers... This will be a remotely close game... Iverson will go crazy for possibly 40+ points, but his team will come up short...


    T-Mac = "Mac Attack?" -- 25 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals
    Yao Ming = "The Great Wall" -- 22 points, 15 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 blocks
    Juwan Howard -- 16 points, 8 rebounds, 2 blocks, 1 steal
    Rafer Alston -- 13 points, 6 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 steals
    David Wesley-- 12 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal

    And Finally....

    Ryan Bowen -- 0 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 5 turnovers
    (LOL)

    Final Box Score Prediction(s):
    |1| |2| |3| |4| |OT|
    Houston 26 28 25 23
    Philadelphia 21 25 30 18

    Houston Takes A 54 - 46 lead going into Halftime....

    Rockets Slump a bit in the 2nd half... lead 79 - 76 lead going into the 4th Quarter... Its Yao in Crunch time, hits cold-blooded jumpers, A.I. tries to lead Philly back late in the 4th but all for not as Yao and Co. are too much for The Answer...

    Final Score Prediction:

    Houston Rockets 102
    Philadelphia 76ers 94

    Judging from the All-Star game, T-Mac was compeletely fine to me.
