    No T-Mac, a loss.

    Boki and other bench have to step up.

    And we will see if Yao can lead. Probably not.

    certainly one of those games where Yao will have to be the focal leader on this team.

    also look for a pivotal role played in this game by nachbar as he comes off the bench for 16 huge points





    rockets stave off a minnesota rally in the 2nd half and win



    90-84

    T'Pups plays Yao one-on-one defensively and he burns them scoring and picking them apart when they start to double-team. Knowing he has to carry the team, we will. This game raises his confidence and sparks him to have an MVP-caliber season. :)

    Rox: 84
    T'Pups: 80

    Rockets win with Yao and defense.

    Yao showed last year that he can handle the timberwolves ......we will just have to see if boki and the rest of our team show up to play.....I predict a close game

    This is definitely gonna be the toughest game of the season. I just hope the Rox don't fall into a hopeless groove turning the ball over and taking bad shots due to nonexistent offensive set.

    I do have a feeling Rox will pull it off someway, somehow...just like the Grizz game.

    There will be 100 more undressed men if Rox can win this one.
    But that cannot happen.

    A loss is a loss. 65:127
    JVG gone mad.

    KG will not come to double team Yao a lot. I think Yao will have a good game. But not sure about a win. A loss 86:93

    No TMac, No win. Our offense will be clueless without TMac.

    Rockets 89-95 TWolves.

    According to this article Boki's starting:

    Sauce

    "Third-year swingman Bostjan Nachbar would replace McGrady in the starting lineup. Nachbar has started only four games in the past two years, and is averaging 4.0 points and 2.5 rebounds in about 16 minutes a game this season."

    the wolves havnt been too impressive so far. so good rockets defense and a healthy dose of yao could be enough for a win.
