    Yao & TMac need to combine for at least 65 points for us to have a chance to win this game.

    I turned off the game after Suns scored 108 points with 7 1/2 min to go in the 4th. KG is trying his best, but......

    Rockets 95
    Suns 110

    I believe our defense is slightly better than the Wolves.

    Yao lost 10 pounds during 3 days after he caught the flu. He will be 80% at best for tomorrow's game I guess.

    Amare got 2 Ts within a second. he got 3 Ts tonight. Does that mean he will be suspended for tomorrow's game?

    After tonight's win against the T-Wolves, the Suns will be 11-1 when Amare scores over 30 points. The only loss when he scored more than 30 points was against the Spurs.

    Actually he got 2 Ts. He tangled with Sprewell and they got a double T.

    I don't know how he got the first one. It seems that he got it after a Minny fast break basket.

    24 seconds to go, Minny down 5. The ball is in KG's hand. Launched a 3 with no one within 10 feet of him. A brick.

    If only TMac suits up for the lsat 20 seconds for Minny......;)

    Do we need to score more than 122 to beat Suns tommorrow? I hope we can hold Suns under 90.

    Minnesota is just aweful right now, giving up 100 points already 11 times this season. They are in a funk. Luckily Rockets are just getting out of the funk before facing a good Suns team. Otherwise it could be very ugly.

    BTW, someone please answer my question: Does 2 Ts in a game result in a suspension in the next game?

    I don't think so. This is not a soccer game.

    No because 2 means you just get ejected from the game. If you pick up a certain amount within a number of games then you would be suspended. It's 2 flagrant fouls or someting like that

    No it doesn't. It only affects that game.

    I am not sure whether Sura/Wesley can successfully contain Nash to a certain degree. The reason that the Spurs beat Suns handily was because Parker made Nash his b**** in every possible way:

    Name Min FG 3Pt FT Off Reb Ast TO Stl Blk PF Pts
    S. Nash 30 4-14 1-1 3-3 0 3 4 3 1 0 4 12
    T. Parker 30 14-20 1-4 0-0 1 5 2 1 0 0 1 29

    Are we asking too much to demand Sura/Wesley stick it to Nash's rear?

    I have an incline that we will beat the Suns.

    Defensive rebounding will be key. Also how Wesley guard's Nash + how often Juwan knocks down open shots will go a long way in determining the winner. This is a hype and confidence/statement game for us - we must carry the day. We must start fast as well for our psyche especially Yao (please no first quarter fouls for Yao).

    Go Rockets!!!

    Funny Recap from Yahoo:

    Early in the fourth quarter, Eddie Griffin had his shot blocked in the lane three straight times -- first by Stoudemire and then twice more by Hunter.
