    Logic would tell you Rox blowout Bobcats but I'm watching the Clippers/Hornets now and the BCs look like a better squad than the 76ers. They are a small team so expect double/fronting of Yao a lot and a lot of kickouts, we should shoot better than last game and I am anticipating a hot shooting night by T-Mac and JJ and should convert a lot of Yao's kickouts. BCs will be playing a back to back and they are hustling against the Clippers so I expect that they will be a little tired tomorrow. If the Rox don't underestimate BCs, Rox win 95-86.

    ESPN said that Calvin's future with the Rockets will be evaluated at the end of the season. So it sounds like we have to listen to Van for a year.

    too late



    this one is a win....Im confident.

    Damn it, JJ will probably be out for the game. MoT or anyone better step up. Go Rockets!

    Don't forget Magloire-less also

    Well, having a hard time thinking of who thier starting lineup will even look like, so I perdict a win.

    Hornets: 82
    Rockets: 95

    Will be the first game both Yao & Tmac dominate at the same time.

    We've lost everytime I've posted in these prediction threads (didn't post my prediction against the Sixers), so I hope that changes tonight.

    A record low (actual) attendance for Toyota Center.

    T-Mac and/or Yao will have career highs!

    Even if we don't win decisively, we should fire Van Grumpy. C'mon, any team can beat the Hornets. And beating them by a few points would be f***ing ridiculous. Van Grumpy needs to let the offense destroy an opponent for a change.

    Watch Van Grumpy call timeout every other play and slow the game down. No wonder Yao is bored. :mad:

    Rox 71
    Hornets 70

    Don't drink Van Grumpy's Koolaid!! :mad:

    A loss could be catastrophic. A scary thought. I doubt JVG is on the bubble, but a loss won't help. Plus, the confidence of the team could plummet.

    If the Rox lost this game, everyone should be fired.

    The Hornets are Mashburn, Davis, MaGloire and David West-less.

    They won't kill us at 4 this time, Anderson will start. He can only dunk.
