    I think Dallas will win this one. They've had a couple of days to reflect on their losing streak and will come out fired up.

    Houston will be playing the second night of a back to back and will have to be on the road. I expect them to come out very lathargic. They will make a game of it before it is actually over but the Mavs will prevail by 10.

    Ditto.

    I hope I'm wrong, but Dallas has lost 3 in a row, and the Rockets freaking suck on the road. This is a road game, right?

    Don't you people predicting the Rockets to lose have any pride? I would never think the Rockets will lose no matter the odds, I think the Rockets can win every game. Mavs are suckin right now and we're hot (least when Rudy isn't a friggin r****d). I just really hope he's not an idiot this game and lets the Steve and Yao take over by running the offense through Yao most the time.

    y'all who think the rockets will win are trippin. Fin goes crazy, Stickman dominates and Hair Canada and Nowitski get their averages. This will be a complete blowout.

    Mavericks 122
    Rockets 85

    Why even watch it? hell..I'm not watching.

    (but i'll still tape it just in case) ;)

    I really hope we destroy the Mavs. That would show we have one messed up team though, great wins against champions horrible losses against piss poor teams.

    Game will end in a tie 170-170 after 7 over time periods (NBA rule).

    Rockets are going to miss Rice's shooting against the zone.
    Yao is not going to score 30 pts like last time.
    Najera on the IL will help the Rockets.
    Pose should be a major help defending Finley.

    Rockets 97
    Mavs 93

    I would think tonight's game is a loss. But I would think Steve's pride took a shellacking yesterday, and he and Cat both just got too frustrated yesterday. They both have had success against the Mavs. in the past.

    The Dallas Morning News in the game preview said their zones had been exposed with good ball movement on the road trip. Despite yesterday's game, I think the Rockets are progressing as a team and they will show it tonight. Posey could be huge in this game. Yao may find he just likes the arena. We've got a good shot here.

    And for those who are just to frustrated to attempt to "do" Rudyspeak, I think there was a hell of a lot going on with Francis sitting yesterday in the 4th quarter. We're never going to know what's been discussed between Steve and the coaching staff, but I expect real focus from him tonight.

    This could be a much more distinct turning point for this team than the Laker game.

    Rockets have a chance if they play tough defense. And they will. Ming and Franchise owe this game. They have to take responsibility. Rockets win, 95-93.
