The Suns play the Rockets in a 2nd of a back to back with the 1st game in Minnesota. That's a long flight from Minnesota to Houston after a tough game.
Rebecca Lobo will have a field day against Darko. And Cynthia Cooper can make Darko her b**** anyway she wants.
i'm ready to write him off as a bust but man....Dirk sat out for a while until he went bananas....hopefully Darko will get his PT
Anyone watching Lakers vs Nuggets? If Lakers wins, we are leading Nuggets a half game more. If Lakers loses, we are half a game closer to get the 7th spot! So a win-win situation for us!
Not to mention 4 big blocks on Amare alone. The key to this game will be the same as the game against Bron and the gang: Shut down Nash and the running game, and we can win. The Sun's D is suspect at best. Their offense is one dimensional: running opponents out of the gym. JVG needs to watch the recent Spurs-Sun game to learn how to deploy Spurs strategy to blow out Sun.
melo is losing badly and Portland also lost today. I love it as the #8 seed heading into the PO. I think that we can take Sun out in 6 games.
In response to the other post in the YAO FLU thread, I was not indicating which team would provide a better market for the NBA. I could care less about that. I was just pointing out that EVERY SINGLE TIME I read ANY thread on here, your posts about YAO are sterile and neutral at BEST. Yao might not put up monster numbers every night, but if you just watch him play, his presence in the game overall is what makes him a great franchise player. Who cares about how much money he brings in from China. I'm Chinese but I could care less. He is a solid player and he will develop more consistency as he plays more and more. His skills for his size are unparallel. He has excellent shooting touch and extremely high basketball IQ (I don't think anyone would bother refuting that statement) I'm not speaking for Yao only fans. I"m just saying that I truly believe that Yao WILL be a SUPERSTAR along with TMAC with this houston rocket FRANCHISE. There is NOT another player out there in the NBA that would take the place of YAO or impact the game like he does. Maybe Tim Duncan, but not even KG would be worth trading YAO for if it came to it. Yes I said it. Just RESPECT YAO as a phenomenal player and just realize that he is here to stay in GOOD OL HOUSTON and he is going to be the best thing that's happened for this city since HAKEEM. PLEASE ADMIT THAT!!
I just think he means that amare is more aggressive than Yao. Missing a bunch of shots will not diminish Amare's confidence whereas it might diminsh Yao's.
Why would you get into an argument with a YOF & Fakers fan? I just don't understand why a Fakers fan should spend the majority of his time on the Rockets board.
Great game I wish I recorded it. Good stuff. Everyone played well. Suns..I really hope we can beat them. It's okay let Quentin Richardson or Amare or Steve Nash score a lot..but don't let all 3 score a lot..
BTW, Yao will not become a Lakers until in the very late stage of his career. The Rockets won't trade him before he is 32-33 for sure.

I am liking Sura more and more; he is a scrappy player who never quits. And even Howard is coming around. The team looks like it is getting a "flow" to it, maybe they are finally getting into a grove. Great win. The Suns will be a test of our "prime time" status.
