    Zach Randolph will dominate Motiejunas... Motiejunas is a child compared to the manly beast Randolph is. We gotta find our advantage in matchups and attack.

    1) What kind of analysis is that?
    2) Ditto
    3) Ah, here's the meat. What we have to watch for is that Grizzlies are heavy. They can affect the flight dynamics of Rockets if they can manage to hang on long enough; it is possible for them to send the Rocketship hurtling directly into the ground. If the Rocket takes off with enough acceleration, though, the Grizzly can seldom manage to hang on.

    No it's not. It's "Win/Lose then go to Memphis" time.

    Will the Toyota Center be only half-full tonight due to the bad weather and driving conditions?

    It's half full on nights when the weather is perfect, so I'll just be glad if it's 25% full.

    Too bad he does not want to be with the team anymore. Rockets are gelling and they will be ready these next two games.

    Rockets : 110 Grizz: 94

    FTs aside, Dwight has been doing well lately and I'm hoping he stays hot. Let's blow them out tonight by 25+ points.

    If we can go at least 2-2 on this stretch, i consider it a success.

    vs Memphis
    @ Memphis
    vs San Antonio
    @ Dallas

    4 games in 5 nights against very good teams. Memphis has been on a roll since Marc Gasol came back, San Antonio despite the fact they lost Leonard is still San Antonio. Dallas is a good competition.

    2 and 2 is fine but honestly 3-1 would be preferable.

    Sooner or later we have to beat the West and start stringing wins together. With Bev back hopefully we can make a run.

    We need to build that winning streak...I can see us in the top 3 seed at the end of the year.

    GO ROX!!!!

    beating teams like memphis requires nothing but up tempo pace... constantly pushing the ball up the court and taking shots before their defense is set... playing half-court ball against will not work... they are too good defensively

    Nah :)

    But I feel someone will be ejected in this game, and Donuts could be a factor why. Last game Randolph was pretty close to punch him and refs let him be extra-aggressive.
