    boston has been playing very well since walker has returned, but 5 of the 9 victories have been by 4 points or less. giving the nature of this rocket team i dont think we'll make mistakes at the end to give the game away like the teams of the past.

    walker will have a big game though hopefully the rockets d can force him into a low fg%

    It will be a high-scoring affair, Rockets will win this time through Yao Ming in a close affair: 104-99:)

    Another boring 20 pt blow out by Rox. We insult Boston in the final 5 mins by playing Baker and Moochie.

    Houston, tonight's opponent, has been at least as hot as the Celtics, with a six-game winning streak. "We're hot, but they're good," [Celtics coach Doc] Rivers said. "I think they're the second best team (in the Western Conference) right now. They have two great stars, size, and they play defense.

    "The difference between this team and any other that (Jeff Van Gundy) has had is that this team can score," he said. "Yao (Ming) has figured out for the first time just how dominant he is. And Tracy, like I've always said, now understands that if you put him around a great player, then he'll be greater. He has the help he needs now."

    Mike Dunleavy would be an awesome addition to this team. He has high Bball IQ, hustles, hits outside shots, passes, rebounds. Would fit in nicely wih the curren Rockets team.

    What can lure him here away from Warriors? :)

    Quote from ESPN:

    In the event two or more teams are tied in the standings, a series of tiebreakers are applied to determine which team receives the higher seeding.

    Two-Team Tiebreaker
    1. Better record in head-to-head games
    2. Higher winning percentage in conference games
    3. Higher winning percentage within division (if teams are in the same division)
    4. Higher winning percentage against playoff teams in own conference
    5. Higher winning percentage against playoff teams in opposite conference
    6. Higher point differential between points scored and points allowed

    Three-Team Tiebreaker
    1. Best head-to-head winning percentage among all teams tied
    2. Highest winning percentage in conference games
    3. Highest winning percentage within division (if teams are in the same division)
    4. Highest winning percentage against playoff teams in own conference
    5. Highest point differential between points scored and points allowed

    toine and raef are going to go off because Yao doesn't like to cover outside shooters(see portland game) and no one is going to make toine work on the defensive end.
