    I believe the Rockets will bounce back big from the crap-o-riffic Boston game. Tmac and Yao will be more aggressive offensively, and the team's shooting percentage will get back to levels we've become used to.

    It's permissible to have a stinker game or two, even in a playoff run. Between Washington and Boston, the Rockets have had thier quota of reekers in the past 15 games.

    I say Rockets win a pretty close one 102:96. KG has a big game vs our depleted 4-squad, but everyone else is controlled pretty well.

    Yao should score well against the Wolves' centers, and Tmac should be able to elude Sprewell and Hudson to rack up 25 or more. Sura, Barry and Wesley should be able to burn the Wolves pretty well from the outside.

    Maybe Braggs will get the start at PF & have to guard KG for openers. :eek:

    Welcome back Braggs! :D

    This game is a test. A test of Rox psychological toughness.

    Garnett is going to go off on us. I just hope he is the only one.

    A must win for TWolves. They need it to catch up Nuggets (don't care) and push away Fakers (that's nice.)

    Well this will be a tough game for Rox. 50/50

    Rox get back on track. The Boston game was an off night not a trend, missed 11 free throws and couldn't put anything in the hole. Rox will bury the Wolves.

    definite loss. Yao will play hard but end up in foul trouble. Our shooting woes continue.

    I'm not going into too much detail (I looked pretty silly with my detailed prediction vs. Boston)...so I will simply say that the rockets will be ready for this one...

    Rockets 103
    Wolves 98

    Our defense looks pretty porous without Juwon.

    It wasn't that he was a good defender, but he was fast enough on rotations to make the defense think twice about making certain passes.

    Spoon is just not fast enough, and as a result it leads to a ton of open shots.
