    It's a shame TMac is bothered by the knee injury. He always seems to go at heralded rookies really hard, and ends up torching them. I was hoping to see him do that to Durant.

    Sort of like how Yao schools Howard.

    Oh well, I'll just take a much needed win.

    I would love to have a great game, however, since we are in need of wins, i'll just be happy with a blow out.

    :D

    Will be interesting to see how they come out playing to start the game and in the 2nd half. If the team plays hard and focused, this will be an easy win. I only wish Adelman had a tighter leash on Bonzi.

    Rockets win, but it is another close game!

    This should be an easy Rockets win to start the second half of the season, but nothing is ever easy with this team. I predict a 103-97 Rox win.

    This is a blowout. If the Rockets dont blowout the Sonics this time, Adelman will biatch slap all the players.

    110-85 Rockets win!

    overall blowout is a rarity each and every year in the nba. on any given night you expect to see a reasonably close game rather than a blowout.

    we need wins. blowout, close game, or even from behind, i don't care. as long as we get the W the next few games starting from this one, i'd be a happy camper.

    Rox win! 114-85. Salt this one away so come the 4th you play the bench everyone benefits. Would have happened on monday but 8% from beyond the arc plus, 10 missed fts kept begging the Sonics to upset us but, not gonna happen at least this year. :p Take care of your business, Rockets! :D

    We REALLY better be ready for Portland. I still think we can take them but, our intensity had better be there or else ...

    defense is really the key...i mean we are against essentially a ROOKIE team which makes a lot of mistakes (top ranked in turnovers).

    YET, on monday, our D was so bad that we gave up layups and dunks early. EVEn bill worrell exclaimed "rocket defense sticks" on LIVE AIR>......amazing..


    we better be sharp tonight, play hard-core rox defense, bury this young team early, so we can focus on Portland. Hopefully Yao and T-mac don't have to play 30+ minutes. Tough games ahead.

    like Clyde said" let the rookies finish the game" that should be our goal.

    It's time for the Rockets to show they can score the rock. Let us have 4 30+ point quarter in a row!!! 16 point win is not enough. 20 or more is acceptable!
