    We have a better chance if coach keep Yao on the bench in the 4th. Yao plays well only when he's fresh, but terrible when he's gassed. You can't expect a 7'6" guy to keep up his energy level for a full 35 minutes.

    Well, they got no chance tonight. Rip is their best scorer and probably best player.

    Prince, Sheed and Stuckey are not that talented offensively as Rip.

    Should be a field night, but since we have looked mentally weak this season, not sure how that's going to work out.

    I think we should let our bench players play more time

    We usually play better against a healthy full roster than sickos. We have a bad history of losing to teams without their main scorers. Anyone remember the Bucks game?

    If we pull a win, we could try for 2nd spot, but still it would be very hard.

    Prince is one the best overall player in the NBA, he can shoot the 3, drive, block, steal, posterize, he's also clutch.

    With all the injuries the Rockets could/should have an easy game, but then again we unexpectedly beat the Hornets, and the Heat are in a close game w/ Boston w/out Wade.

    We need to take advantage and put this one away early. You still have to earn your wins no matter how easy it's supposed to be.

    Stuckey is going to have a field night, Brooks is too short, too weak and not smart enough to defend Stuckey.

    Brooks will have a terrible tonight, I can tell you guys that right now.
