    while their quickness may worry us this is as good a game as any for t-mac to get himself going as their D is pathetic. I would love for RA to say to T-Mac 'you're on Durant hold him under 15' and see how he responds... I know the O will come to Mac eventually... it's the D effort I wanna see lift.

    Adelman just needs to coach with some balls. If T-Mac slacks off bench the guy.

    Is anyone looking forward for McGrady to have a break-out game this season? I hope it happens now just in time for the Lakers game. Hopefully he drops 30, anyone agree?

    I am SO AFRAID that the Rockets will lose this game or barely win.

    This is a problem and one of the main reasons why the Rockets aren't on the same level as the other title contenders. They would STOMP the Thunder and their fans would need not be nervous.

    But hey, every game is a game with professionals, right? :rolleyes:

    If TMac plays significant minutes, I'd say we have a 40% chance of winning. Otherwise, I'd say we have a 75% chance of winning.

    Well, a win, nothing less. It is a MUST WIN, but with this team you never know.

    T-Mac gotta show something.

    Good questions. I think another question is, can McGrady SUSTAIN his energy while he's on the floor?

    In Philly he came out energetic, but then didn't seem to have anything again until the 4th quarter spurt.

    I think we'll win, but its not an easy game. Thunder are playing better lately and very intense.

    the way this team has been lately i am not going to say this is a W for sure.

    the thunder despite their recent blowout to the wolves have been pretty competitive lately in games taken good teams to the fourth quarter, they lost two games on last second shots (at detroit, vs nuggets). i would not be surprised if the rockets lost this game especially if they go into one of their offensive funks.


    I hope Westbrook tears it up out there and the rockets win
