1. An experience coach vs. an unexperienced coach 2. Francis vs. MArbury- Remember Marbury said He is the real starting allstar and Francis isn't. 3. Yao vs. Amare- ROY on the line 4. Homecourt advantage The biggest reason I believe we will not lose is because I remeber Yao saing after their last meeting that we can beat this team (Pheonix) next time we play. If Yao has to take it upon himself to carry us he will probably do it because he sure dosen't want to sound wrong. But the biggest biggest reason I think we a re going to win because every Houston fan just wants this team to win. I have a lot of faith in this team to win on Sunday.
The biggest reason we have a good chance to win is that we are at home. By the way, the remaining schedule is tough for the Rox because Rox has 2 more road games than the Suns. If Rox wants to make the playoff, we need to win 2 more road games than the Suns.
i lost respect for marbury ever since he left minnesota. he is a two timing kuniving biatch when he left for new jersey. then when he played for the nets; he played like he didnt give two sh!ts about winning. he just collected his paycheck and builded up his stats to his advantage at new jersey. and it still shows this year. first he has the nerve to say that amari stodumire is better than than kevin garnett. then he thinks hes a better pg than steve, biatching about how he should be the starting point in the all star game. whats next??? starbury needs to shut the hell up and bring it to the court this sunday.
didn't pho pretty much just lay down and die for us in the 2nd half last time? i'd really appreciate it if they could fit another one of those into their schedule. say 9 o'clock, our place?
Phoenix will be up for this game. they have shown they get up for the big games beating Sacramento. Marion was like a house on fire.We will have our hands full. Marbury is a gifted player I cannot deny, but is one of the biggest jerks in the NBA. Steve will win on mental toughness and character. Does anyone know if Tsakalidis or Gugliatta are back in the rotation? I really hope the Rockets can win this one. It will set the standard for the remaining playoff run. A win here will be huge. Go Rox with the heart of a champion, mojo ---karma to win!!!
The Suns are going to kill the Rockets or The Rockets are going to kill the Suns. I just don't see a close game tomorrow.
Suns are a horrible road team, just like us. The only quality teams they beat on the road all year were San Antonio and Portland, and thats because they overlooked the Suns as both of those teams came out really flat and lost. The Rockets won't do that, they know how important this game is...both teams will play hard, but the Rockets will win. We should go up one game on them, but the road trip afterwards is what scares me.
if they lose to sun tomorrow , i am not going to watch the rocket the remanining of this season anymore! they cant n they wont lose to the sun. this game is a must win!
Come on now, you know you'll be back after missing the first 3 minutes of the next game, and your friends are calling you telling you how crazy the rockets have started off... Not watching a Rockets game? Impossible for me.
I 2nd that, when they lose, I get mad enough to the point where I "think" I want to disown them as a fan.... but I can never do such a thing! I love my Rocks.
I have beenfollowing them lately, watching their games, hoping Marbury breaks his ankle. Doogs is back and in grea shooting shape. Tsaklidis ( whatever?) was back last game but frank johnson did not play him. The anouncerr said they were saving him for sunday against Yao.
I hope that the Rockets dont change their game tomorrow and start playing some one on one basketball....they need to pass the ball and get open looks and if we do this then we are going to keep our winning streak!!! Go Rockets!!!!
We will win because the Houston Rockets want this game more than the Suns. We will win this game because Yao Ming played just 29 minutes, and has played a total of around 85 minutes in a week and a half. We will win because Yao Ming, Mo Taylor and Steve Francis have the WARRIOR mentality. No, not the Golden State one, I'm talking HEART. We will win because we are at home. But most of all, we will win because we are better than a healthy Suns team, and they're not even that. Penny is still hurting, and his thumb has been heavily taped. Jake Tsakilidis came off the injued list last game, but has yet to play his first NBA minute this season. Watch as Griffin denies Stoudamire of his ROY award courtesy of Stoudamire only being able to drive to one side, with Griffin defending the strong side, and Ming helping on the weakside. Come on Suns. Come here so Steve and Yao will take a bite out of you and then spit it back out at you. The Houston Rockets will win. Bring it on.
Well I hope Francis doesn't get too excited against Marbury. Hopefully he can play just like he did against Jamal Crawford of the Bulls yesterday. He was 5-5...he only took FIVE SHOTS...and still had 23 points. He also had NINE REBOUNDS!!! That means less rebounds for Yao and Eddie though...and he had TEN ASSISTS!!! Also FIVE STEALS!!! But also...five turnovers. I hope he plays efficiently again and hopefully he can control the game and get all of our players involved. Sorry, but Marbury is good. He should be an All Star. Too bad he always says wrong things. Cuz he is very good. He is awesome actually. He scores 23.3 points per game along with 8 assists. That is pretty good. Hopefully Mobley continues to shoot well against Joe Johnson and Anfernee Hardaway. And hopefully Posey can score at least 10 points with 10 steals...and hopefully can prevent Marion from scoring...Hopefully. Hopefully Rice can make 5 treys!!!! Amare hasn't been looking too great. HOPEFULLY Eddie can stop him...and HOPEFULLY Mo Taylor shoots well and is playing like he has been... And hopefully nothing devastating occurs to Yao Ming. Hopefully he will abuse Jake Tsakalidis....if he is activated. We have home court advantage. We are tied. We are exactly like them. We need to win. We have a better coach...hopefully that will help. And hopefully they have a good practice today. That seems to help...
