    110-105 Rockets win.

    Von Wafer and Yao combine for 60 points. :cool:

    Fast paced team so I think Wafer will have another great game

    Hopefully we will continue playing our lock down defense.

    But one thing I am worried about is our shooting. The 3s gotta go in.

    I hope we can win, they are without Melo. It would be a needed win.

    kleiza, nene, and billups are all playing well, but this is definitely a winnable game since there will be no melo.

    wow - am i really in the first 5?

    gonna be tough games against nuggets and jazz without ron and t-mac...

    i think the key is again whether Rafer can step up and hit his 3s or not. Yao and wafer will also do their jobs. Then we have a decent chance.

    Key to this game is transition defense! I watched the Nuggets previous game and it was like watching a dunking contest. Kleiza had about 5 uncontested dunks in row. With Even with Carmello out, this could be a tough one. These next two games are pivotal if we want to take a stab at the second seed.

    Winning the next two games is the key point if the Rockets want a winning streak of 15 or more.

    you live in the USA and you don't know what day tomorrow is, or why the NBA is participating by having a slate of games all day long?

    Denver have a bigger player than Miami and most of them are very rough and tough..hopefully Scola and Landry could play more aggressive... Come on rockets smell the blood and kill them!
