121-119 Rockets

[conquistador#11]

good news...jj won't go for 20 plus! Bad news...dirk and terry will. But if the rockets hold everyone else down, they got this.

[solid]

They are better than us, they always are, but let's beat them anyway!

[Rocketfan713]

I know for a fact there better not be a huge showing of Mavs fans at the game like last Tuesday.

Good thing the Faglas Mavs play tonight at the Spurs, so they could be a little bit tired tomorrow. Hopefully Dirk doesnt abuse Scola on the offensive end.

[mr. 13 in 33]

this man is probly gonna go off and score 25

McHale has got to stop playing small up front. It would be advantageous to play Sammy or Camby at the 5 more then we are.

I dont care if we go small at the wing with Lee playing 3 next to Lowry and Dragic. But we cant sacrifice size up front. We could afford to go small up front when we had HAYES but NOT WITH SCOLA.

For this game I wanna see Patterson on Scola as much as possible.

No games in the NBA are easy wins, especially this late in the season, and Marion is playing for the Mavs right now.

I just got me some flash seat tickets for this game. I'm driving 3 hours to support my team. Wish I lived closer.

[MrButtocks]

Won't be easy. Never is.

[RocketFan]

Houston Rockets 97, Dallas Mavericks 94.

Goran Dragic (prediction): 17 pts, (four 3's), 6 reb, 12 assists, 2 steals, 1 block, 3 turnovers

Chandler Parsons (prediction): 14 pts, (two 3's), 8 reb, 5 ast, 1 steal, 1 block, 2 turnovers

Samuel Dalembert (prediction): 12 pts, 13 reb, 3 ast, 4 blocks, 1 steal, 3 turnovers

[Rockets12]

This is my second game attending this season, I'm excited and I am hoping for a win!

No more easy games for the Rockets from here on.

Even the Kings are dangerous. They've beaten Boston, Minny, and Grizzlies this past week. Their solitary loss to Utah was only by 1 point.

I'm most interested in seeing if Parsons can handle Dirk defensively.

[AXG]

Win and they can jump to the 6th place spot. Lose and they could fall out of the top 8...

[southswmrchuck]

I think we pull this one out. 106-99 Rockets

[ZNB]

I feel good about this one, im not sure why, but i do. Rockets win

[Sydeffect]

I think Calembert's length will give Dirk some issues. If you keep Dirk quiet you win.
