Tough one to call, isn't it? One team hasn't had the time to develop chemistry. The other team never really had it. Two point guards, one in his homecoming debut, the other proud enough to show up for the big games and save the "if-that-doesn't-get-Van-Gumble-to-trade-me-nothing-will!" games for Detroit, Toronto, et al. Keys to the game: Defense. And Cato has to bring it. And Yao has to actually, you know, show up.
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Rockets : 82 Knicks: 79 Yao with 22 points , 10 rebs ^^^ wishful thinking
I predicted last night that Yao will would have a stellar night versus Detroit and we all know what happened. I'm going to stick with my optimism and say that he is going to be fired up for the game. Yao is going to cheapshot Mutombo in the back of the head and will be ejected and fined and suspended for 5 games. When he returns he will play to his potential and finish the season averaging 25 points 13 rebs 4 blks per game. Steve is going to score 40 points and will have 15 assists. Mo will be perfect from the line. Cato hit a 5 ft shot from the paint. Jackson and Cat will just have average nights though. Tomorrow there will be threads all over the forums talking about how JVG is a genius and how Francis our savior. Houston 126 NY 65
Stephon > Steve Houston = Mobley Van Horn > JJ Thomas < Cato/MoT Dikembi < Yao Recordwise, Rox >> Knicks. Rox will destroy Knicks tonight
Regardless of tonights outcome, I can and will always remember the Rockets vs Knicks NBA Finals and will take every single opportunity to point that out to any Knicks fan. NYer: Hey did you hear about our broadway. It kicks ass. Me: We kicked your ass in the Finals. Rockets b****!
from the Yahoo scoreboard thingy 7:24 HOU - K. Cato makes a 19-foot jumper from the left wing. Assist: S. Francis Tell which part of this is soooooooooooooooooooooooo wrong
HAHAHA I bet JVG lit into this team after the last game and for some reason the Rox do better in the second of a back to back set. Also this game is nationally televised meaning no one wants to look stupid on national TV. This is how the Rox could play every night if they wanted.. if they could keep up their intensity. J
