    I hope our players won't get distracted by these rumors.

    Rockets need to play with intensity. While the last few games have been wins, they played very sloppy at times and let teams they should have crushed back into the game.

    Don't get sloppy or complacent just because you are facing an inferior team!

    With or Without T-Mac we are going to win that one.
    I really want T-mac to play vs NO cuz they arent an easy team.

    I noticed that, but previously the Rockets would never RE-put them away like they did with the Wiz and the Knicks in NY. It would always end up a 4 point game in the last minute where if the opponent hit a big shot it would be a contest or they would miss and the Rockets would weather the storm to win it.

    You gotta be able to rub your tummy and tap your head at the same time.

    I think you're doing it wrong...that is why you're still a rookie ;)
    you've got to rub your tummy, tap your head and scratch your a$$ at the same time with the same hand. ;)

    Projected Starting Lineup:
    ROCKETS
    G Rafer Alston 11.2 3.2
    G Luther Head 7.4 1.6
    F Shane Battier 8.3 4.9
    F Chuck Hayes 3.4 6.5
    C Yao Ming 22.0 10.6

    TIMBERWOLVES
    G Sebastian Telfair 9.6 2.3
    G Marko Jaric 9.3 2.6
    F Rashad McCants 15.1 2.8
    F Ryan Gomes 10.1 5.0
    C Al Jefferson 20.5 12.2

    We should have a win, Timberwolves best scorer will facing our rock center Again, it's up to our guards can outplay their or not.. If Tracy play, I think it will be an upgrade to rockets..Bonzi is still hurt, so Luther can share with Tracy

    Timberwolwes are worse road team.
    Don't take them so easy, Al is there so as Walker, they can heat up.
    They're really an interesting team, if they keep this roster in 5-6 years Celtics will see what mistake they made.
    Anway I hope McGrady doesn't play tonight, he needs to rehab his knee and get back vs. Hornets or even Sonics.
    We don't need slumpy players, get some rest, this will probably be a W.

    It boggles my mind when I try to imagine how we could possibly lose this game.

    Win for the Rockets! Hopefully T-mac plays so that the rest of the team can adjust to having him back in the line up

    if tmac plays then this will be a game where we can see if tmac + the recent cohesive chemistry is better than when before tmac was injured

    we will see..

    T-Wolves haven't won twice consecutively yet this season. After severals win against scrubby teams the Rockets might have their guard down. Minny could be due.

    Half the Phoenix Suns team is out. Nash, Marion and Hill are all out. Jazz won't slip behind the Rockets tonight .... :(
