Is this the most hyped game so far this season? This thread has more than 170 replies and the game is not even started yet.
Meija of CBS Sportline.com predicts we beat Suns 103 - 101. Hope that his prediction comes true this time... Link: http://www.sportsline.com/nba/exclusives/mejia/
Upset special baby! I do believe we'll beat them but I think if the scores get into the 100's our chances diminish
we have 162 responses before a match, what did it happen last time? seems like people are really hype on this game. hopefully rox won't break the bubble again! We can win!
Guess what? The Rockets have added incentive. They are sitting in the 8th spot in the West, BUT, the 7th and 6th spots are in reach. We are only one game behind LA and Minn. How bad do they want to be 6th in the West, very possible. This is a benchmark game in more ways than one.
That's refreshing! The Rockets should win this game, they'll slow the game down, keep it close and they'll win it in the fourth quarter. National TV game?? If it is T-Mac might join the 50 point club tonight.
If we can some how pull out a win tonight, it will prove to the league the ROX are the real deal. Hell maybe we can even get some calls from the refs.. Who am i kidding thats never gona happin lol
X Factor: Deke I say in spirts of the game when we need a stop put Deke in the game. And to prevent him from having to guard Amare we play zone defense. Force the Suns to attack the basket (not giving them the 3 pointer, they shoot it too well) and tell Deke to send all of it into the stands. Rox win
too many days in between games... this is on page #6 already and the game is not on for another 5 hours ...
6 pages of pre-game responses all because of Amare Stoudemire. Seriously, if this guy wasn't on the phoenix suns, this thread would probably be only 3 pages max right now. I hope he's not in Yao's head the same way he's in our heads.
Well I don't think we're going to.....Grrr.....must fight urge....ahh what the heck. Lets beat the Suns and send them packing!! Pugs
maybe I'm looking to much into this, but I say it's our most important game so the season (thus far) we win, all the haters stop hating on the board, and people will start to respect us again (i.e. ESPN crew, TNT crew ect). We lose......well we'll see I say we win from being well rested and PHX playing @ Minny last night: HOU 125 PHX 110 ******crossing his fingers******
Why we will win: The two news guys will makes us quicker.......so we can compete with the Suns now and teams like Dallas who we lost to two times already. Our 3-game winning streak Yao steps it up or at least shows aggressiveness or dosen't get into foul trouble Home Court
1) we must protect the ball and not let them feed off of our turnovers - that is the suns' bread and butter 2) we must make it a heavily physical grind-it-out game and get the refs involved to call everything in the paint very closely 3) no matter how much we fall behind, we must continue fighting back and coming after them relentlessly - the suns will let us back in the game
Yep, this is the key game this season. Playing the top seed in the league, national TV, nobody expects you to win, chance to be a 7/6 seed, no single game has been bigger than this game this season. If the players can't get up for this game, they won't get up for any game. I look for the Rox to leave it all out on the floor today.
