    Lets make them 0 - 6!

    Going into a back to back,
    do you think Yao can prevail and reassure us?

    LET GO ROCKETS!!

    Step on the throat of the opponent. No more playing down to our opponents. I know I am sick of it.

    we all know they will be tired, but they've got to play off pure adrenaline tonight against the team that is struggling the most right now in the League.

    hopefully the clutchfans in attendance bring victory back to the Rockets.

    Exactly what I was thinking. Losing like that just sucks.

    I'm still down about last night...

    We didn't play very well the whole game but we still could have come out w/ the win.

    Ohh welll thats why there is a 82 game season so you can work all the kinks out and get the chemistry going.

    Rockets bounce back w/ a Win!

    Look for the Rockets to barely eek out a win. Yao will get into early foul trouble and will end up making Kaman look like Hakeem in his prime. Yao will also completely miss a dunk and then fall on his ass, further embarrassing the Rockets community.

    rockets better get a Win tonight, I predicated we would lose last night at portland " 1st.. 108-92.. rockets lose 2 in a row ", although I didnt wanna see that result..

    I certainly hope to see Von Wafer & Joey Dorsey play tonight since all the starters have played some extensive minutes in last night..

    96-87, Rockets 4-2

    Don't even post if you don't have high hopes for Yao in this game.

    How are you even a Rockets fan?

    I agree. I couldn't bare letting this loss simmer.

    Also agree. A common Rockets problem. Even w/ 'getting used to each other', missing Shane, etc, this team is much better than what they've shown on the court so far.

    Clippers are struggling but so are we, remember that. We just gotta take it together, play good team defense and contribute on offense. But defense and rebound will be the key, hopefully Kaman and Camby won't eat us on the boards.

    Hope to see another great game by McGrady. Remember Tracy, attack the rim. With you ming set to 'attack' nobody can stop you.

    And of course Ron and Yao. No need to talk, just gotta get it GOING. REALLY.

    It should be a win, and let's hope it will be!

    4-2 Go Rockets !

    The Rockets might come out shellshocked but this is a victory that they should get easily. I couldn't sleep last night so I am feeling pretty nasty right now

    I have a feeling that Adelman first wants the core group of guys to get into a better flow of the game. And then he'll integrate Dorsey and Wafer.

    Hayes is hurt, but he also knows that his spot in the rotation is tenous so I could see him rushing back in hopes that he doesn't get Wally Pipped.

    They just lost to a young team that was 1 and 3 and missing their first round draft choice. The offense looks like crap. If they drop this one tonight to a team that's 0 and 5 or whatever the Rockets will officially be in full meltdown mode.

    I think he won't be available tonight. I could see dorsey getting some time. Pending on how he plays he could get 15 minutes

    I hope you are not expecting too much from Dorsey and think he's some kind of savior. The guy can't get on the court for 40 seconds w/o the whistle blowing.
