    All in Jan:

    15th Phoenix - 2 best rookies go head to head
    17th LA - Shaq gets to say hello to YM
    20th San Antonio - Always a great matchup
    21th Dallas - Can YM dominate a 2nd time? Will Shawn Bradley show up? Will the players be worn out from playing the night before?

    All it all, I can't remember a 4 game stretch of regular season games, that looked this entertaining.

    Prediction: the Jan 17th game, might end up being the most watched game of the regular season. I bet it gets huge huge national ratings.

    They will all be entertaining but they will all be tough games. The Rockets will have to be on their "A" game to come out with 4 wins on that stretch. I'm not sure but are any of them home games for Houston?

    Hmmmm....we lost! I love the Rockets, but they don't have a chance against the Mavs...The Mavs will kill us...we'll be so tired from the Spurs game. And the Spurs aren't going to be very friendly. They want revenge. The Mavs probably want to shut down Yao and he will be tired. LAKERS...Shaq is gonna whoop...hopefully it's at Compaq. The Pheonix Suns...we better win that one. I hate them.

    i dont know if we should all be excited for this 4-game stretch. im more nervous about playing what could be the 4 toughest games of the year up to that point.

    phoenix matches up with us very well. and marion allways seems to have a huge game.

    the lakers have shaq out to get rid of the only center that can rival him.

    we always have trouble beating the spurs. and the very next day we play dallas!

    i'm usually very optimistic about the rockets but i would have to predict a 1-3 record during these 4 games.

    Well, time for a bit of shameless self-promotion...

    I'm going to those last 3 games (Lakers/Spurs/Mavs). For the Lakers game, I think I'm going to have seats in the same row as Yao's parents, right behind the Rockets bench in section 120, row C.

    I also happen to have a ticket to that game for sale on eBay, as well as single tickets to the Spurs/Mavs games. I don't expect the prices to be high considering it's just a single... but I gotta get rid of the 4th.

    The link to the auction is:

    My prediction... and you heard it here first!!!

    YAO WILL EXPLODE AGAINST THE SUNS!!!

    I bet/hope he's taken it personally when the Suns' bench went bananas when he fell at the beginning of the season. I hope Yao jams every ball he gets and end up with crazy stats. Payback time and Yao will show it on the court.

    :D

    I second that. If Yao can school the PHOENIX SUX, I will still be happy even we lose to the other three.

    Expect Shaq plays particularly well against us, as he may want to prove something. A loss I'll say.

    Contradict to the others, I think Mav is a games we stand a 'reasonable' chance to win if we play better defense.

    2-2, I hope.
