    Win or lose, Toyota Center needs to be full and loud right up to the bitter end.

    If we are down big and it is clearly over in the 4th...i say let all our big guys out there, Artest, Hayes, Landry, Dorsey and Lowry, and adelman tells them "ok guys, we lost, but lets at least send them to Denver bloody and bruised, Ron, go nuts, you have my approval, go back to be crazy eyes, Dorsey, you suck at basketball, so go out there and act like you in the ring, knock some teeth out, Lowry, go out there and run over some people, Landry, punch Gasol in the mouth, lets get ready to rumble!!!!!"

    Discovery Green is having a viewing party tonight. Did they have one for any other games? I'm trying to decide if it would be more fun to watch it there or just go to Bubbas.

    Did anyone else go to one they've had, if they did?

    Only downside I could see is parking...

    Kobe just injured by losing the last shot.
    Force to game 7, and we win this series. ;)

    Beat LA! :)

    They're not closing out the series on our home-court. The close-out game is always the toughest game to win. Rox:93 Lakers:87

    Win or go home, nothing to lose. No need to worry, just fight

    Keys to the game:

    Boards, Boards, Boards - Limit the Lakers' offensive rebounds, dont let them get 2nd chance points AND fight for our offensive rebounds.

    Shut down Kobe and Gasol - contest every shot, don't let them drive to the basket and get charging calls to stop any rhythm from developing.

    Battier 3's - Who's Your Dattier needs to go 6-12 from Three-Point Land or better

    Lastly, the icing on the cake would be if some how kobe were suspended for game 7.

    I haven't heard about a viewing party at Discovery Green. That's pretty sweet.

    I don't think there's been any 'official' Rockets viewing parties in Houston for actual home games. I may be wrong though. When I say official I mean endorsed by the Rockets themselves.

    Good defense is the key to a Rockets victory tonight. Hopefully, everyone is prepared to play it and not gamble on 3 point attempts.

    Last game, we had a good start, then Brooks, and Artest started to turn the ball over. The key is to have a good start, stop turn the ball over, let Artest handle the ball less, and get a big win for the fans. Beat LA.

    I have no idea what's going to happen tonight, but I have a feeling it will be a tight game. Buzzer beater anyone?

    Love my Rockets!

    Dear God lady you're scarin us.

    WHO WANTS SOME MORE SLOPPY JOES?! I MADE EM EXTRA SLOPPIES FOR YA!

    Rockets are gonna have to come out playing like it is the last game they'll ever play, but maintain composure at the same time. Lakers want to close this thing out. We are undermanned, and have less talent, but we can still beat those heartless fruitcakes.

    Rockets 98
    Lakers 92
