    T-Pups are absolutely awful right now. Even Garnett looks/plays like a 35 year old.

    Rockets win

    95-82

    Yea but the Rockets are hyped up for wanting revenge from the last meeting where we should've won that game without T-Mac.

    My only concern is that they usually come out flat after having a great game so I hope this won't be the case and continue playing with the same intensity.

    No prediction from me..don't wanna jinx anything.

    I really cant believe the T-Wolves are playing so horrible.
    I havent watched them play lately, but I think they would match up good against us and bring it for a nationally televised game. Im afraid of this game.
    But if we held Iverson, we should be able to handle Cassell and Spree. Still, this team has more threats than Philly. Kg is pretty much unstoppable if he wants to be.

    I live in MN and watched a lot of T-Pups games. The age catches the team quick and fast, even including KG. I really believe they should/will rebuild after missing playoff this year.

    Too bad for the Timberwolves, maybe this is KG's silent cry for help to Kevin McHale, tired of carrying the Wolves all these years.

    All sympathy aside, the Rockets have to take these dudes out, I know it's before the All Star break but I think beating them soundly would be a knock out blow to their dimming playoff hopes.

    I am not a very big fan of KG. He's a great guy, lead everything in his team. He always gets his points and boards, and good assists as well. But somehow, I have the feeling that he can't make his teammates better. maybe just my incorrect opinion. But it troubles me to see only after he got Sam and Spree, they passed that first round. Comparing to other great players, in my book, he can't carry a team. Maybe because of his style of play - more of a jump shooting 7 footer.

    They are in deep trouble this season. A convincing win of Rockets.

    89-81 Rocks i do not think the Rockets will get 100 in this one Defense will be the key to this win expect another big game from T-Mac but i think we always do.

    KG has aged about 5 years within the last 6 weeks. I expect Yao to play 37 min and get enough touches to score 27 points. TMac is TMac and will get his usual 30. All we need is one of Barry, Padgett and Wesley shooting a decent average from the field for the win.

    If they play like they did in Philly, they will roll through the wolves.
