Just curious to who you think for the Rockets is going to have a great game versus Phoenix? My bet, is that the high scorer for the Rockets will be.................. Shawn "wrong way" Marion Any takers?????????
I dont know. Everyone has to play great offense and defense.I think Barkley should take advantage of the players holding him. I just hope Jason Kidd doesnt kill us. Thats all im reall worried about.
Scottie Pipsqueak Pippen played 40 minutes against the loss to the lakers and only had 5 POINTS!!!! Hows that for getting more involved in the offense Pip. This must be our day. Rockets will knock the Suns block off!! ------------------ GO ROCKETS!!!!!!!!
He's not used to the Trailblazers offense yet and he had to play cross court defense or whatever ya know so he wasn't able to get his offensive game goin. Once he's in LA..I mean...comfortable in the offense he'll score more.
Will Stevie play? I can't imagine a Drew-Kidd matchup. Drew is just a Kid! I think Cato will play BIG vs. Suns. The Suns have no quality big man to guard him. That's if Stevie plays tonight, though. Stevie has been BIG passing to Cato to score. If Stevie isn't playing, I hope Shandon will step up, just like in the Clips game. Anyway, I predict a W tonight.
The Chronicle is reporting that Francis will not play tonight but I am wondering just what they are basing their article on??? Last I heard Stevie was going to evaluate the ankle today to see if he could go or not and, until that happens, I'm not sure I believe the Chronicle. I think their full of it. I hope he plays.

I hope he doesn't play tonite. What is the point of him risking a major injury just to come back for one measly game. I say let him sit out again tonite, heal up some more, and don't come back until it's at 100%. We might lose the game without him, but who is to say we will definitely win with him? Besides, in the long haul, a healthy Francis is more important than one measly 'W'.
The only way we'll win tonight is great defense--team defense. Even with Francis, it would be questionable that this would improve greatly over the last game. The only positive is that we recently played the Suns and are coming off of an easy victory, so the confidence is high. But the Cabbage is right, one victory now means nothing to the risk of losing Francis for a few weeks.
Umm....Cabbage...nobody is implying that he should play if he is not ready. If he is ready, then let him play. If he is not, then don't. In my opinion, we stand a better chance of winning with him in the game. I believe we would have won the 2OT game in Phoenix if he didn't go down. Of course nobody wants him to play if he is going to re-injure the ankle or risk some other injury. And what your calling a measly "W" means a hell of a lot to the Rockets right now to turn this season around. Surfguy
