    Aaron Brooks holds the key.

    We're going to get these Pistons chumps on the ropes and knock 'em out early.

    Our starters will be fed by Rafer and our bench will be burning the court up with #0 as the pilot of their blistering fast break offense.

    At one point, Bonzi will place Sheed in a headlock and apply hair dye to his gray spot.

    If they continued playing with the same spirit and heart as displayed in the prevous two games, no problem for a win!

    It's important that TMac should start with a team-mode play so that all role-players can perform.

    Head, Scola, Brooks should play more minutes - it's time to develop them as much as possible to help our our two stars and to save their "wear and tear". Hopefully by playoff time we could be the 7th/8th seed - these young players are ready and our two stars are still fresh.

    If Aaron Brooks and Luther Head steps it up Houston wins

    Pistons at home, yet another back-to-back jobbie, Yao with the bum thumb that Sheed and Maxiel will hammer away at = a tuff, tuff game. A victory would b a huge confidence boost - to the team AND the fans.

    Get the rebounds!!! If they can rebound like they did last night, then the team wins. On the other hand, rebound the way they did in Denver, then they lose this game for sure.

    detroit is a good team, but i dont fear them. we may be have been in a slump, but im still confident we can beat the pistons. the role players have really picked it up the last couple games.

    Isn't Rasheed Wallace supposed to "bust our punk asses" or something like that this game?

    Tomorrow is big. If we win, it really means a lot. I hope the rockets' win is like a slam dunk. At least, we really need this win to assert that the Rockets is not soft anymore!!!

    Give me the strength to cheer, please. Gook luck, the Rockets.

    It's not if we win, or if we lose, but how it happens.

    Look, we have seen this team beat SA, the Lakers, Utah, Phoenix, Detroit, and Denver. 6 power teams in the first 25 games of the season, and yet none made me feel really good (ok, the phoenix one was nice).

    So we know this: t-mac and yao on any given night carry this team to victory when they are playing on top of their game.

    But the problem is that if they are not, it's an ugly loss.

    So the last few games, we've seen a different rockets team...but denver and chicago aren't teams that make me think of tough playoff D.

    Detroit does. So let's see if our offense can look good. If it does, then even if we lose, it's still big. Because if we can get our offense to look decent against a team like Detroit on the road - we'll be ok for most other games and we'll start seeing some positve changes in the standings.

    I like the way Mcgrady played today...he let the offense come to him, didn't force shots (well, didn't force too many shots) and looked somewhat interested in running the offense. PLEASE PLEASE keep it up...you might not score 30+ points, but all that matters is a W. And also, play some D. The rest of you, please continue...and if he continues to play this way, Scrubola will lose his nickname and henceforth be called Coca Scola cause he is bubbly
