    Logic would tell you Rox blowout Bobcats but I'm watching the Clippers/Hornets now and the BCs look like a better squad than the 76ers. They are a small team so expect double/fronting of Yao a lot and a lot of kickouts, we should shoot better than last game and I am anticipating a hot shooting night by T-Mac and JJ and should convert a lot of Yao's kickouts. BCs will be playing a back to back and they are hustling against the Clippers so I expect that they will be a little tired tomorrow. If the Rox don't underestimate BCs, Rox win 95-86.

    ESPN said that Calvin's future with the Rockets will be evaluated at the end of the season. So it sounds like we have to listen to Van for a year.

    too late



    this one is a win....Im confident.
    but I would be more confident if it was Boki out at the 3line and not Bowen.....but oh well...we do what we can with what we get.

    Damn it, JJ will probably be out for the game. MoT or anyone better step up. Go Rockets!

    Don't forget Magloire-less also

    Well, having a hard time thinking of who thier starting lineup will even look like, so I perdict a win.

    Hornets: 82
    Rockets: 95

    Will be the first game both Yao & Tmac dominate at the same time.

    We've lost everytime I've posted in these prediction threads (didn't post my prediction against the Sixers), so I hope that changes tonight.

    A record low (actual) attendance for Toyota Center.

    T-Mac and/or Yao will have career highs!

    Even if we don't win decisively, we should fire Van Grumpy. C'mon, any team can beat the Hornets. And beating them by a few points would be f***ing ridiculous. Van Grumpy needs to let the offense destroy an opponent for a change.

    Watch Van Grumpy call timeout every other play and slow the game down. No wonder Yao is bored. :mad:

    Rox 71
    Hornets 70

    Don't drink Van Grumpy's Koolaid!! :mad:

    A loss could be catastrophic. A scary thought. I doubt JVG is on the bubble, but a loss won't help. Plus, the confidence of the team could plummet.

    If the Rox lost this game, everyone should be fired.

    The Hornets are Mashburn, Davis, MaGloire and David West-less.

    They won't kill us at 4 this time, Anderson will start. He can only dunk.
