    First post ever on Clutch. Yes, I think we will come out smoking tomorrow against the wolfies. In fact, I believe the rockets players wish the game was today!

    Watching the celts game yesterday, it is clear that we need to try to draft or acquire a pf that can rebound well and do some catch and shoot (the former more than then latter).

    Background: I have been a rockets fan since the very early days of Hakeem, and after a two year hiatus in Vegas, I am back in Houston.

    Looking foward to the playoffs this year, as I feel nobody will be able to stop us, no even the spurs. Now that is a bold statement!

    After lost to boston, we will shot over 56% from 3s and ballance the inside and outside play. So I will say a blewout. no problem.
    Let the truth be told.

    Go Rockets

    Rockets should bounce back from the Celtics stinker. And they have no excuse if Cassell doesn't play.

    Rockets win. Both teams will be hungry on Sunday. But overall, with injuries and other stuff considered, Rockets are a better team now. Last time Weatherspoon defended KG pretty good, so I think he will do a decent job defensively in this game too. There is equal possibility between a blow-out and a very close one.

    Welcome, TARADO. Go to the games and bring some fire with you.

    No offense, but Toyota Center always seemed kind of dead watching on TV.

    Rockets win this one easily and start another winning streak.

    Rockets 102
    Wolves 98

    My wish for this game:

    Yao get more than 15 shots. Destroy the wolves inside.

    Wesley shoot more than 50% from 3 point, and score 20 points

    TMac pump in 25 points, 13 assist, 4 steals

    Sura gets a triple double by finding Yao more inside

    Barry hitting 100% from 3 point

    James score 19 pt, 7 asst

    Seriously... if the Rockets can shoot even half as well as they had been up til the Celts, it's gonna be a laugher.

    Wolves are just sucking it up right now. They look like a team that is ready to just give up and quit. If cassell doesnt play tomorrow it should be an easy win. Rockets should bounce back ad shoot the ball much better.

    Rockets 97
    Wolves 89

    This one is a lock, even if the T-Wolves play at their potential. We are hungry and now want to prove something. Ignore what I said about the T-Wolves suprising us; that was based on us beating the Celts.

    KG,

    Congratulations! You will soon be the first MVP to miss the playoffs the year following his MVP season.
