    Big game here for us after dodging another stray bullet the other night. If Yao plays, we should be fine.

    Anyone know anything about the injury situation (Rice, Mo?)

    Going to be a good game. Hope they can contain Pierce and Walker. Ming is going to clog up that lane. Rockets going to win :D

    Two points:

    1. Celts lost a heartbreaker to the Spurs yesterday. Had the Spurs lost - they would have drawn even with the Rox in terms of losses. With the loss, expect the Celts to be pissed and look to blow out the Rox.

    2. I can picture Paul Pierce scoring at will against Mobley. That will not be as bad a Mobley trying to return favor. We know what that means - endless dribbles and jack up shots - off balance of course

    Hopefully we can pull a win out. Celtics are a tough team, even though they're floundering. My best guess though is that, with the injuries, Boston's back to back, and Boston being better than .5, Rox will pull out a close one. The Celtics rely on the 3 a lot, hopefully it won't be falling for them.

    Tony Pettie will create some match up problem for Yao.
    He's quick.
    And after yao is injured...he's not as mobile.

    Hope yao can handle it

    Tony Battie isn't even as good as Cato. No worries there. Rockets will play well in a close game -- Antoine Walker will have a great night, Pierce will struggle. <b>We win 95 to 84</b> in a game that's closer than the score indicates.

    I'm scared Antoine's gonna light up our PF's tonite. We're gonna have to rebound well to get this game.

    Boston has a winning record, plus they don't have an answer for Yao.

    Rockets 95
    Celtics 87

    Celts love launching threes, they are first in the league in three point FGA at 27.2/G but rank only 19th in 3PT%. They live and die by the threes. If their shots are falling prepare for a long night.

    They are weak in the middle. Rockets need to play inside out. If we played good perimeter D and moving the ball around then I expect a win. If Ming played aggressive, Battie and Baker will likely to fade. Ming should have a good game..a double double I predict.
