    Edit: Second! I hope Tracy doesn't have a post-allstar break hangover b/c he is going to be have to be extra special for us to beat the Heat.

    Rockets win 100-87 (as long as we can keep Wade's free throw attempts to a minimum).

    I actually have two concerns in this game. Shaq overpowering Deke and Chuck on the post up... and Wade driving incessantly in the middle to get them in foul trouble early.

    That would absolutely be part of my game plan if I were Miami.

    We may get to see Jake "the big body" in this game.

    The Rockets need to get this one. It's the toughest game left in February.

    1st page! Rockets 105 Heat 87
    T-Mac explodes for 45 on national TV and Wade watches helplessly
    Shaq shows that the only thing he is good for these days is break dancing

    Rox win!
    Rox 101 Miami Pee 94

    When I first heard Miami fans chant "Let's go Heat" on TV, I thought they were chanting "Let's go pee". I thought can't they keep it private?

    This is going to be very tough game. Miami is great, but in this season ther're only 26-26. But Shaq is back and Wade is having very good season. The "good" thing for us is that Shaq is not playing many minutes. Of course the main thing is not giving Wade many FT, because he is averaging more than 10 per game. He can score 40 pts, with 23 made FT. I know we can win it. T-Mac continues his hot hand - 30+ PTS, 7+ AST and 2 blocks on D-Wade:)
    And of course we WIN:) GO ROX

    To win this game, we need:

    1. Battier to guard WADE with great D like he never has before
    2. Tmac to drive in and get Shaq in foul trouble

    top 15..

    i wish yao were back already. i'm actually more afraid of shaq now than i am of Wade. Shaq always abuses (/fouls) Deke. we're really gonna need our outside shooting.


    narrowly win.

    Please. DO NOT DOUBLE SHAQ!!!!!!! Don't leave these lanes open for Wade to come flailing thru. Even without contact he'll get a whistle once he even gives the illusion that he's off balance. Just clog the lane when he drives. He'll turnover the ball more often than not.

    Miami has been playing really well
    while Houston has only been playing good enough to barely win
    but i have faith in the HOUROX

    Power through!

    T-Mac saved his All-Star display for Wednesday night on ESPN against the Heat. Rockets win and T-Mac dominates for 35 pts with some flash.

    I'm worried about Shaq down low and Wade getting the calls.

    But, this time T-Mac kisses Shaq, after dunking on him.

    Rockets take it by 4.
