    Come on, until they replace Isiah, NY is going to suck big time.

    We don't have the luxury of taking any team lightly.

    Play seriously.

    Work hard.

    Do not get complacent.

    Put heart and soul into the game.

    Rockets will then triumph.

    Exactly, we lost to the Sixers by 30 so until we're firmly entrenched over .500 we gotta pick up wins any way we can. The Wiz are a playoff team even without Arenas so the Rox have to go in there in take care of business. Having said that, the team is playing 100% better over the last 7 games or so, even the losses to Boston and Denver were great games so hopefully that's the team that shows up.

    could be tough match up (beleive it or not). Eddie Jordan has this team playing very level-headed without arenas. We should still win...

    Alright, 3 in a row. AB shines again and sets a new career high, 28 pts. Yao finish the game strong with 27 pts and 11 rebs. Final score rockets 108 - 102 wiz.

    Washington's all smoke and screens.

    Thier last win against a .500+ team was against Toronto, December 1st.

    What with how the Rockets are playing, this damn well be a victory.

    The next two games are key - we have to win both. There's no longer margin for error.

    We have to beat Washington and NY on the road with or without T-mac, it's too late to hover around .500 now.

    If we win both of these, it means the 50 win counter will be 22-4 against the crapola teams and we need to go 9-11 against the good ones....becoming more and more in sight.

    We should win as long as we contain Caron Butler, I am sure Chuck could contain Antawn Jamison.

    Wizards are as mediocore as us, i think they are around .500 as well.

    I suspect we'll win if Yao Ming has a good game (well duh..)

    SHOULD be a win...Rockets matchup well with them. Battier won't have TOO much trouble with Butler because he is not one of those scorers that will beat you off the dribble and beat you with his athleticism. Thus, he won't be as difficult of a guard as a Dwyane Wade, Kobe, etc... And Jamison, their other big time scorer, is more of a perimiter than interior scorer, which will play right into Hayes' style of defense.

    You could have added one or 2 words in bold, heck even 1-2 lines.

    but what you did was annoying.


    Rox win

    Warriors & Jazz aren't going to slump. Rockets need to win their next 3 games.
