    10% to win, Yao's performance is a key factor, if he can score over 30, and Bonzi, rafer get double figures, then we would like to win

    Nope! Look at his career stats facing Boston:

    Total Rebounds: 7.9 PPG: 13.8 PF: 3.4

    lets look at reality

    t-mac is doubtful
    s.francis is not playing

    it is nearly impossible to win

    ..

    the only way we will have a chance is if garnett gets in foul trouble, and if we guard ray allen/paul pierce and hold them under 20 points.

    we will need a big game definately from yao...and along with bonzi wells/luis scola/luther head/ and probably even rafer ...

    that would be amazing if we beat the best team in the league

    but its gonna be REALLY tough to stand a chance without our franchize player.

    Oh man now its like 4 superstars against 1.

    I really find no reason to win...

    Lets face it. Just chill and enjoy the game.

    "It's time" to forget about win or loss.

    Does this means we are one step closer to OJ Mayo or whoever the next Kevin Durant is?

    Our G's are too small/weak to actually keep PP from scoring 10-15 per quarter..

    wow, this could get very ugly.

    Yao must have a big game and our scrubs need to hit their shots.................no disrespect to our role-players.

    it's not like they score big so i dont see a blow out but rafer and bonzi need to drop at least 15 a piece and yao needs about 25 and to be honest i dont see this as a reach i think the rockets can win this game....the only person on the celtics who scares me is KG im sure shane can hold paul pierce(shane has trouble with fast guards and fowards) and ray cant create really so just try to put a hand up on his jumpshot and hope he is off tonight

    Rockets win if:

    Make Celtics big 3 work hard to score.

    Rocks win Rebounding battle.

    Shoot solid percentage from 3 point land AND make more 3s than miss during the last 10 minutes.(making them all early and missing most late will give a solid percentage but will lead to a loss)

    "What are the chances we're going to win?"
    - "Well, that's pretty difficult to say."

    "Hit me with it! The least you can do is level with me. What are our chances?"
    - "Not good."

    "You mean, not good like one out of a hundred?"
    - "I'd say more like one out of a million."

    "So you're telling me there's a chance."
