No kidding, wouldnt take this game lightly at all. Look at the Bulls "bench" from the last game, they could easily flip flop their 1st and 2nd units: Code: pos min fgm-a 3pm-a ftm-a +/- off def tot ast pf st to bs ba pts K.Hinrich G 36:14 7-13 2-4 0-0 +19 0 3 3 14 5 0 2 0 0 16 T.Sefolosha G 20:56 6-8 0-1 2-4 +21 0 3 3 4 2 1 0 0 1 14 T.Thomas F 33:38 9-13 0-0 0-0 +25 3 8 11 4 3 2 1 3 1 18 A.Nocioni F 26:55 8-12 3-5 2-3 +23 0 3 3 0 3 1 2 0 1 21 J.Noah C 38:07 7-11 0-0 0-0 +27 5 5 10 3 2 1 1 2 0 14 [B]B.Gordon 33:48 12-18 6-10 7-8 -1 1 2 3 5 4 2 5 0 0 37 L.Deng 20:28 5-14 0-0 0-1 -24 2 4 6 0 3 0 0 0 1 10 C.Duhon 17:38 0-2 0-2 1-2 -11 0 0 0 3 1 0 0 0 0 1 A.Gray 12:16 2-7 0-0 0-2 -9 5 0 5 1 2 0 1 0 3 4 L.Hughes - - - D.Gooden - - - C.Simmons - - - [/B] Ben Wallace woulda been a big body against Yao but they'll soooo not miss him. I'da rather he stayed cuz they'll compete harder with Noah in his place. Landry and Scola will need to step it up. Though Tyson Chandler and David West from the last game was good competition themselves to the Rockets...
Rox will panbroil bulls in 30mins by 85-55, going on a 25-2 streak and the #1 seed in the west with the record of 60-22. The premise is Yao, Tmac,Rafer, Scloa, Battier and other players keep healthy.
The Rockets, the 7th seed, are now three games from the No.1 seed in the conference and two games from the 8th seed GS. This is crazy stuff.
thinking ahead Houston Rockets Yao Ming left, and Dikembe Mutombo talk off the court in the second half of their NBA basketball game with the New Orleans Hornets in New Orleans on Friday, Feb. 22, 2008. The Rockets won 100-80.
