    Who saw Stevie vs. Williams in the All-Star weekend?

    Stevie schooled him.....Stevie WILL school him....Question is, is that enough?

    Peja will definitely destroy us, no doubt at all...We have no one to guard him, and his size gives him a huge edge over Anderson if Anderson were chosen to defend him.....

    ANOTHER point that should be made is that Sacramento's defense is at least two times better than it was last season, So I don't see us scoring 100, most probably in the 90's....The key to this game is defense....All is equal, but we have homecourt, and if we play D, I say we take it 98-91......

    "dimpled" pattern indicates yes.

    My Prediction:

    Rocks-103
    Kings-102

    ...and something will happen w/ Cwebb, where he won't be able to finish the game.


    (A gypsy told me)

    Rockets 97
    Kings 85

    Steve 17pts 8ass 6rebs
    Cat 30pts 2ass 3rebs
    Dream 17pts 3ass 9rebs

    Chris Webber will be ejected from the game for swinging back at MoMoney. MoMoney is ejected for punching Webber in the face for saying, "Your the only pf in the West softer than Vin Baker."

    ------------------
    I'ma need more than 6 and a half rebounds a game from the PF

    Rockets 98
    Kings 94

    Top Rocks
    Stevie 26 pts, 8 ast, 6 reb
    Shan 18 pts, 4 ast, 5 reb

    Game Preds:
    Kings start off hot but Rocks get the win with another 4th quarter comeback, KT plays 28 mins and guards Chris well, Rudy uses the Kenny and Mo at pf and c lineup for a decent amount of the game.

    Lets Go Rocks! [​IMG]

    Man, I can't wait.

    Sac vs. Houston is always one of my favorite matchups (at least since we got the new team). So damn close in every way...

    This is going to be a fast-paced game, no matter who wins. It will be close, too.

    Mo, KT, and Hakeem can make the difference. I'm curious who'll step up...

    I watched MO play with Webber, when he was with the clippers and he slows him down in the low post.I think it's a great challenge for Mo in the boards!

    Rudy T. will find and fulfill Rockets destiny.

    My $ is on KT to be our surprise big man. Rudy will alternate KT and Mo against CW, throwing guards at him in dull periods. Chris will expect to play against Mo, and he will (rightly) expect to have open lanes. That will not happen.

    Kenny will have a big night. He will not play CW close, he will play on JWs passing lanes. I also expect Mooch to help greatly in this...

    (this is a way to REALLY beat them - I expect Rudy to notice it)

    When they notice what's going on, just move Matt in to shoot treys - to throw them off again.... Rotate.

    The good thing is that Steve doesn't have to defend Jason too hard. NOT defending him will either draw him out (where Steve puts up light defense) or get him overconfident - either way, Jason shoots poorly. Steve will basically be left free to clean up the mess...

    Now, if Hakeem can handle Divac - a BIG 'IF' - then we're set to win this one.

    I wish we still had Collier to throw at him. 6 Fouls... Priceless.

    Needless to say, I hope Rudy comes up with something Completely Different...

    Also, something that isn't illegal... (Watch it, Rudy)... There'll be alot of illegal D's in this game. It'll be fast, but the refs will be paying attention.

    They need to contained Stojacovic and Webber, if they can, and we have a very good chance of beating the Kings

    This does not taste good. Not the crow - I'm not really eating one, of course - the defeat. Tastes bad. Really bad...
