    Bynum and Odom might still be prblems for our short short team. but it really depends on how bynum plays. if in the low post he decides to force the issue by banging with Hayes, he'd get pushed the **** out to the three point line. but if hes smart he will use his height to his advantage and go with high release jump hooks that chuck cant contest.

    without gasol we match up ok with the lakers, shane kobe, hayes bynum, scola odom, brooks 20 times faster than fish, ariza and chucking artest.

    B2B overtime game, we should have good chances.

    If the Sonics could almost beat Lakers; we definitely can beat a tired Lakers.

    I wonder who Shane will be matched up with?! Probably Bryant... Ariza vs Artest would be a fun matchup... plus KB said it himself that Shane guarded him the best.

    Lakers should win, easily.....but won't. The Rockets "shock and awe" tour through the league continues. Just like DD said, it's like watching college ball. I would never have believed that what I am seeing could be happening.

    LOL well then I suppose we can expect Bynum to get owned then. I think we have a great chance to win. Gasol's impact is really underrated people forgot that the Lakers only became invincinble when he arrived. Now that's he's gone the mighty Laker are struggling against the Thunder. Great chance to pick up another win against the defending champs.

    Bynum looks more assertive and improved this year and think he will a load to handle down low but if anyone is up to the task, its Chuck. Brooks should be attacking all game long with a aged Fisher guarding him. Kobe-Battier is always intriguing to watch. Artest and Ariza matchup will be interesting to see if they have anything to prove to their former teams.

    As I have with the last 2 games, I predict a loss but prove me wrong again Houston!

    GO ROCKETS!

    I am afraid of Bynum. We have nobody to guard him.

    My scenario for this game:

    Bynum will be toying with us through the first 3 quarters and tha Kobe will go to work as the gam will be close.

    This game will put us to a test to see if we can guard a team with some tru BIGS. Nothing like a C shooting 3's or a PF who focus fallaways. GO rox!

    People are getting carried away by the Jazz. The Jazz clearly aren;t clicking right now. Boozer's also either sulking or in decline.

    Paul mighbt be out but they've still got Kobe & Odom. As well as Hayes has performed Kobe must to be salivating at the thought of him being the Rockets main man down the middle.

    Beating the Jazz at their homecourt is an achievement no matter what. They prove difficult to beat at home to any team in this league (including the obviously bias officiating). The Jazz actually had Mavs under control, but some choked job, bad calls and bad coaching led to their lost.

    I just hope Kobe's number one fan(Joey Crawford) doesn't show up.

    Ummm looking at the game last night btwn OKC & LAL....I think we really can beat these guys. It took the lakers OT to beat the OKC Thunder who we will run laps around friday so. Battier & Ariza are way better defenders then Sefolosha. They struggled all night with the Thunder and the Thunder arent really that good.


    P.S. Joey Crawford officiated last night game btwn Lakers & Thunder so I do not think he will be tonight.
