    They have playing better recently. Tough one :(

    I hope Kevin explodes for 40 after an 8 point game last night :)

    With Spurs and Lakers playing good, we gotta win this one for sure... next 2 are tougher than this one.

    Im usually anti-Jefferies, but he seems like the perfect fit to guard Dirk this game. Long, lanky arms with quick feet, he'll be able to contest most of his shots.

    I posted in the T-will Magic highlights(Before Clutch's T-will interview) that T Will would be perfect against larger point guards. I even specifically mentioned Kidd. I'd love to see him run circles around the mavs.

    I hate Jason Terry and his showboating, and I hate the Dallas fans. Hope we can pull off a win.

    -They won the last two games and haven't practiced since, theres no way Adelman will change the rotation. If they have a matchup problem in the backcourt Courtney Lee will spend time guarding bigger PG's.

    -Ill be at the game tonight here in Dallas. The Rockets need to have urgency to win 2 of the next 4 games to hold their ground in the standings. I believe this game and the game against Utah to be the most winnable.

    -I want Courtney Lee to be matched against Jason Terry when he's on the court. In wins against the Rockets in the past 6 years, Terry has always been key.

    -Dont let me and my wife go home embarrased again for wearing my Rockets red . Get a win tonight!!!!

    If we are going to pull out a win in Dallas this season, the time is right now to do it. They are still trying to get their chemistry together and can be had. The recipe for a win is a familiar one, shoot lights out and try not to get embarrassed in the paint.

    The mavs are always a bad match up for us, but something has got to give.
    For once can terry average his average against us. :mad:

    As long as Scola doesn't have to guard Dirk, we'll be ok.

    Dirk is a future HOFer, and generally plays great against everyone.

    That said, put Chuck and Patterson on him. He can't and won't shut down Dirk, but he'll force him to take contested jumpers and you won't need to send help nearly as much. That will force Scola to have to box out Chandler, but that's a better matchup for him than Dirk Nowitzki.

    This is yet another one of those situations that the Rockets have seemed to struggle in so far this season. They've gotten some momentum going a little bit by feeding on a couple of weak teams, and now they face a good team on the road. If they can win this game, it would go a long way in building my confidence in them. If they fall flat on their face, though, which they've done on numerous occasions this season, then it will only help prove to me that something needs to be done.
