Now that the all-star weekend is over, I am back to thinking about the Rockets. With Houston on a serious roll, will they find a way to beat the Wizards and move above .500 for the first time in 10 games? Or will they have a major home letdown against one of the worst teams in the league? Personally, I think the Rockets have gone through a major maturation process during the last few games, in which they have learned the importance of defense and beating bad teams, and will destroy Washington by 25+, as they should. I also feel that the Rockets are going to increase tbe streak to 7 before likely losing to the T-Wolves. Wizards: 80 Rockets: 105 Since the game will be decided by halftime, Hakeem will not have to play in the fourth quarter. He will score 14 points, grab 10 boards, and block 3 shots in only 21 minutes. Predictions? How will Hakeem do? ------------------ "Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning how to put food on their family while being put to death."
I want to be an optimist, but the Rocks seem to play to the level of the competition. They'll win by 5-8 pts. If he's not injured, Jahidi White (IMHO) usually plays Dream tough. And White is much better at home than on the road. Interesting that this is somewhat of a "home" game for Steve since he never had to return to Houston. ------------------ GATER

Rockets 107 Wizards 87 The game will be somewhat tight in the first quarter before the Rocks start to run away with it through some major three- point shooting. Dream will be a hair less impressive as he was in the previous games, but will still have a rock-solid performance - 13 points, 8 boards, 2 blocks. As time expires Langhi will have a dunk opportunity but will refrain. ------------------ "I think the people who believed the world was flat were pretty stupid. You would think at least those living near mountains would know better." - P. Mesku
Although GATER makes a good point about the Rockets' tendency to "play down to the level of their competition", I think the Rockets will maintain their momentum and win this one going away. Rockets 106, Wizards 84 ------------------
One thing though, the Rockets may have underestimated the Clips, but LA has someserious talent. Who could Washington throw at us ? ------------------ "We don't have any plans. We just plan to win." Mack Brown
I'm sorry guys, but the party's over. Other than the Bulls, everyone is playing fairly. Washington aren't a sucky team. They have Juwan Howard playing like an All-Star, and Mitch Richmond and Strickland off the bench...Rebounding moster White, and explosive Rip Hamilton... It's not a joke, but I beleive Francis will have his own All-Star game....Mobley will also have an OK game...Shandon will play good, Mo will play good, Hakeem will pla good...not great, good...Bu Francis will put on a show... Rockets 101 Wizards 89 Francis 27pts, 9assts, 8rebs, 3stls, 2blk Mobley 18pts (40% FG) Mo 14pts Shan 12pts Hakeem 15pts, 10rebs, 3blks Howard will have 25, Richmond with 18 and Strickland with 12, and Hamilton with 18.. ------------------
Cat, seriously angry about his shameful 2Ball showing will "jack" up a whopping 99 shots in the first half alone as the Rockets pull away from the Wizards 50-48 at the half. Stevie Franchise will show up 3 days to late to enter the dunk contest but will win it anyway by making 2 dunks in a row en route to scoring 28 pts as the Rocks pull away 111 to 49. ------------------
