have yao ming guard okur when he's at the 3pt line, and have chuck guard the low blocks. put landry/battier at the SF, whoever is quicker (guarding perimeter and help sliding the the low block for cuts).

im sure rockets win with a double digit lead

 

I want to see Deke in the game just to elbow Okur in his ugly mug.

This will be a tough game. We have a mediocre line up right now, and they are slightly above mediocre even with the Kilirenko out.

The Rockets have to play great defense today, and Wafer and Rafer need to step up again.

 

Long-armed whale named Kirilenko not playing? Good, that means 1 flopper down. Now let's intimidate these fools from the start and play some defense and we will be fine. Mark my words: if Mutombo doesn't play, we will not win. RA will be hardheaded so I expect a loss:

Rockets 89
Jazz 105

 

The Jazz will be on a second night of a back to back, coming off a win in Minnesota. The Rockets need to get a good quick start and tire them out.

 

From the Jazz report on Yahoo:

 

Time to go on a roll, on a monster streak with TMac & Ron jumping in soon.
111-93 Rockets.

 

We desperately need this win to keep in the playoff hunt. 17 losses would put us on the edge of being out.

 

T MAC IS BACK!!!!!!
He finally dunked it a watch him show out in the all-star game
But can't say what he will do for the rockets

 

Do you guys think it's true Rocket's fans dislike the Jazz so much because the Jazz beat us by flopping?

 

I think that Stockton 3 has a lot to do with how people feel about the Jazz.

Maybe that and two first round exits in the last two years thanks to the Jazz.

 

Before that shot, the Rockets had knocked them out a few times as well.

well, their biggest flopper won't be playing tonight. (AK-47)

 

Millsap has been a beast recently.

 

A tough win for us tonite! Rox look like they're really starting to gel the past four or five games. Why is it that the rox play better during this part of the season and on? is RA's system that hard to get the hang of or is it the line up changes? any who, they look great and Is deke playing tonite???

 

This game is going to be real tough, Rox might need Ron 2nite. The forwards have to show up and they have to keep DWill out of the paint.

 

Tmac said he's ready... why is he still not starting?

 

Huh??

 

Neither he nor Ron have been cleared by the team to come back.....at this point, I believe the organization is making the call.....
