    I have a feeling Hayes is going to play a big role in tomorrow's contest trying to limit Aldridge. I hope Adelman realizes that battier on Roy from the beginning is the better matchup than Artest on Roy. Brooks must attack from the start as Blake can;t stay with him and need to put pressure on the Blazers' bigs so Yao can find some openings.

    The good news is JVG will be analyzing the game for ESPN. The bad news is Mark Jackson will also be there. Some guy named Dave Pasch will serve as pbp with Ric Bucher as slr.

    I want one super had foul from Yao. Just one and make it the first one on Brandon Roy going to the hole. Put all your weight on him.

    We have to win this one (and the second game at home also)! It is a must win!

    Do it for Deke!

    Hey, guy,Calm down !!
    The sticking point of Rockets is how to break the fronting defence for Yao.Any optimistic prognostic is dubitable before we solve it very well.
    As for the Portland, the game is easy,just put a player in front of Yao,Ok, the game is over ! We will get out of the series. :rolleyes:

    Touch wood! No more injuries. That's the most important thing!
    If they front Yao, mix it up for Yao - pull him out sometimes to 15-18 ft facing the basket. He can make those in high percentage, as evidenced by game 1. (Isn't that RA likes to do with his centers in Sacramento?)

    give RonRon a few possesions of gaurding LMA. He is stonger than him and will get him out of his comfort zone.

    Other than that AB is feeling his shot right now, but i think he was timid throughout the 1st 3.5 quarters of game 2, if you have an open shot, drill it. (They need to sit AB down in front of a TV tommorow and let him watch Chauncy Billups non-stop for 8-10 hours)

    Bring Yao up the the top of the key, and move Scola down low. Blazers cannot double a high/low from Yao-Scola when Yao is the one at the top. Let him make some short jumpers and the Blazers will have to change up their entire defensive gameplan.

    Other than that, Yao needs to stay aggressive, dont play passive just bc you dont have Deke to back you up, that will do nothing but play into the hands of the Blazers.

    Blazers played their 2 best games against the Rockets, won by a combined 6 points as before mentioned.

    Rockets have beat them by 10+ points at home twice this season already, Blazers are a young team, which commonly means they can get easily flustered on the road, take care of business early, and then as Yao would say, "Eat the HEAD"

    Rockets-109
    Blazers-90

    Unless Roy and Aldridge score a combined Seventy again. I just don't see how we could lose. They played probably the best they could at home and only beat us by 4.

    Rockets 94
    Blazers 82

    Guard Roy with a double team of Battier & Ron, Forcing him to make bad passes. Wafer and Brookes make many steals from these bad passes! :p
