    Back to backs are tough, but often moreso mentally than physically. The Rockets have been one of the toughest teams mentally the last couple years, and that shows in their record on the second night of back to backs (don't know it off hand, but its been very good). Golden State is a team they should match up well against.

    I'll say they bounce back with a win: 105-101.

    Yes, we shall mystify them with our mastery of the half-court offense.

    I'll look for Ariza and Bud to have good games tonight in the open court.

    Expect a bounce back game from Scola.

    And Landry.

    113 - 106
    Houston ftw

    [​IMG]

    Aaron will score 20+ (I was 1 off last night).

    Ariza will score 15+ but will again have 3+ turnovers (I got that right last game).

    Budinger will score 10+.

    Scola will have another off scoring night but will rebound well.

    Lowry will have another 8+ assist game.

    I predict a loss.....Warriors 113 - Rockets 108

    I saw the Warriors play a few preseason games and they didn't look that bad. High shooting percentage, and nice drives to the basket. I wish we had Biedrins on our team, he's gonna get alot of easy tip-ins/layups on us.

    On the second night of a back-to-back I just don't see our shooting improving over last night. We might be able to get a few more easy layups than last night because the Warriors lack premier shot blockers.

    i dare to say the GSW are the team with the most pure young talent but with the worst possible organisation and attitude, seriously, Maggette, Ellis, Morrow, Curry, Randolph, Biedrins, Azubuike

    if these guys were in a draft with their current level of play and potential they'd all be top 10 picks

    We need to start Buddinger ASAP instead of either Shane or Ariza!!! We can't keep starting them together.

    My original thought was watch out for Stephen Curry, but our defense has a number or people that could shut him down.

    I'm going Rockets victory 102-96.
    Brooks will get 25 pts.
    Ariza will have 14 with 3 steals.

    I don't know if a back to back on the road is really an accurate gauge of the Rockets "potential" for the season. Hopefully they will appear more talented tonight but I wouldn't be too surprised if they don't win. They played hard in a losing effort last night, and Scola doesn't look healthy.

    Don't get why people say that especially when Budinger was just as crappy with his shot as Ariza and only a little better then Battier.
