    I still believe in Tmac. I think he's playing this game.

    Forget about last year's Philly game. I say the Rockets will play well tomorrow and define a new "Philadelphia game".

    The team needs to find ways to get Yao the ball easier like set more screens under the basket for him so he can get better position that is half court offense is the only part they slack. They shoot good from beyond the arch it's the 2pt% they have problems with and this is do to no spacing and ball movement. Once they adjust and focus on the little things first that will help alot and the rest will come natrually.


    They must remember team defense philosophy because that is what triggers easy transition baskets that will come back and be improved similar to last season.


    Half court offense the team needs to find where Ron likes the ball best and run plays designed for him and let the ball come to him with the ball movement. Artest is the only adjustment they need to figure out and run plays designed for him in the post with spacing. He needs to let the ball come to him though and just run the motion because you don't want the ball to stop moving unless Yao has his man pined underneath.


    McGrady just give him the ball where he needs to be at a better and more comfort level in offense for himself. He wants his shots so run the plays for him get him in touch with the flow and the grand scheme of things. He is a rythem player and needs to be tuned in the half court style.'


    Defense force other teams to become brick layers just like last season i have not seen that lately and Artest will learn from Mutombo on the philosophy parts to create transition. Keep them off the line and space yourself in front with your hands blinding them, but dont make silly fouls. This will adjust the defensive efficiency to a much better rating. New guys will adjust with Deke giving pointers. Stay in front of your man and keep them off the line.


    They will get it.


    They really need to play with a sence of urgency and once they snap the skid move to Boston with momentum and try to keep that momentum all the way back to Houston.

    I think T-Mac will play against the Sixers and not against the Celtics ... I hope he plays good (20 points, 8 assists, 4 boards)!

    But the most important thing is that the Rockets WIN ... 100-88

    I bought tickets to this game a while ago when we still had a team that competed. Now, I have mixed feelings about going to the game.

    Let's hope the Rockets that played the Nets (the only other game I've been at) show up instead of the Rockets of the 5 games after that (where they stop trying).
