    Too important for us try to win every game from now on, cannot make any error right now.

    98 : 85 Roxs win

    Besides, Rox win 50% on Back-to-Back game, so they should win this one.

    It'd be interesting to see how the offense flows (or not) with SF sitting.

    Yao looked frustrated last night. I thought Sean Elliot's running commentary was right on--and, I hope, prophetic. Bring it, big fella!

    Can anybody remember a schedule where a team plays back to back home games? I don't think I have ever seen it.

    If Steve Francis does not play, we will lose. Simple as that.

    I guess we'll be getting a brief look at Tito Maddox for this game. Should be interesting, especially since we cut Tierre to keep him, abd he's apparently been good in practice.

    These are the games the Rocks almost always lose this season (at least it seems so!), so if we have any chance to make the post-season we have to start winning them NOW. This is the "mother of all gut-check's", as that guy in Iraq might say. A must win.

    Rocks by one.

    I seriously wish we would give the young bench warmers some playing time in this one. If it ends up going terrible, then bring in the usual. Or, if the starters are plaing terrible, give the other guys a chance, like Tito, Boki, Tmo. not...JC....

    The Rockets will continue to pass the ball around and look for scoring in the post. Eddie almost always has a good game with 0 days rest so I expect him to do good. Yao Ming will be Yao Ming. He will have another double double with about 16 points.

    The Rockets will win with or with out Steve Francis tonight.

    I think we're kind of lucky if Francis misses this game. Francis' mentality is one of the reasons why we lose to inferior teams, so maybe we'll gain an edge with Moochie being at the point. Hopefully, J-Will doesn't pick us apart.

    BTW, Mike Miller had a very strong debut for Memphis. We need to take care. Memphis is no cakewalk anymore. Gasol and Miller are horrible at defense though, so we may get a break.

    Was that a sarcastic comment? I don't get where that came from. What part of his mentality causes the whole team to lose to inferior teams?

    God I hope Francis does miss this game so people can see what he does do for us.
