    We win 146-81. Gotta get that feeling of the texans losing away. I have been depressed all day.

    Keys to the game:

    -Exploit a young and volatile team.
    They are full of inexperienced and emotionally labile types. Set the tone early by getting an early double digit lead and we will most likely be able to cruise to victory without much resistance.

    -Make them play iso-ball.
    The list of their selfish players are numerous and includes Blatche, Crawford, Young etc. Make them try to beat you by themselves. Don't allow Wall to get others involved. Play him for the pass and drive and make him take that jumpshot.

    -They must pay for their turnovers.
    Although forcing turnovers are not one of our strong suits, the Wizards are one of the worst teams at committing them. We cannot throw away 4-5 easy fastbreak opportunities like we did the last game. Finish strong or sit on the bench.

    Geux Rox!

    Blatche reads Clutchfans, gets angry at all the jokes and burns us for 30 points and a triple double.

    These are the types of games that the Rockets usually lose. They always play down to the level of the these teams.:(

    Agreed, those saying this is a gimmie or easy win need to realize we play neck to neck with teams like this and sometimes even lose.

    This is a game the Rockets should win so I'm guessing the Rockets lose. :eek:

    Prediction - Rockets win 100 - 80. Lowry has another near triple-double. Maybe we can see T-Will, Thabeet, and Flynn in garbage time.

    W. Should be a bench clearer but I think McHale stays with his 9 man until the last 2 minutes. On our way to .500 beating the dreggs of the league!
