    pretty interesting re-match between Candyman and Yao, especially after you look at yesterday's stats,

    Candyman vs SPURS, 20 PTS, 11 RBS, <B>6 TO</B>
    Yao vs Grizzlies, 18 PTS, 16 RBS, <B>6 TO</B>

    This game won't take a balanced scoring attack, but it would be good to start counting on one night in and night out. I expect all 5 starters to be in double-figures, with the expception of Kenny perhaps...cuz Brand surely will not go for his nonsense head and ball fakes as much as some older power forwards do. Rice should be big in the post if we give him the ball there...there's no one and the 2 or 3 that can contest his fade away from the elbow, hopefully he's as hot as he was against them last time. A smart mobley could make quite the difference..let's hope he plays team basketball, and doesn't let Q start rolling, as he will be getting his first start in awhile and be looking to do something with it.

    sir jackie chiles, i was wondering if you have inside ticket or if you find a free radio link on the 'net. the reason why i ask is because in the Chat last night, I noticed you were quoting Gene Peterson.

    sorry if I kept asking for a link, its like a wild zoo in that chat room these days.

    and if so, is Inside TIcket/AudioLeague Pass worth it?

    If Yao gives a facial to Richardson, I will EXPLODE.

    This game will tell us whether the Rockets have resilience or not. If they are still regreting last nite's game and not moving on, then we are screwed. If they CAN move forward and make this a clean W, then its a big step up the maturity ladder for this group.

    If the Clips use WANG on Yao, I really hope Yao schools him. Wang talks a big story on how he's the "Yao" stopper b/c he's seem him play and knows all Yao's tricks. But if Wang is in, I think he'll be a non-factor on the offensive end, so that's a plus for us. If the double teams come, I really hope Yao racks up the assists. Meanwhile, Kandi is just coming back from tendinitus. Hopefully, he's still a little tender and Yao can show him hs stuff down low.

    Clips are susceptible to settling for the perimeter game. Hopefully, Rockets won't follow suit and keep shooting jumpers. The keys to this game, IMO are:

    1. Yao has to stay out of foul trouble, and be aggressive on the offensive boards
    2. CAT and SF have to make the opposing guards work, i.e. PENETRATE
    3. Rox should look to the 3 point line as the Clips are a poor 3 pt defensive team
    4. Rox should extend the D by fronting Brand and Kandi.

    :p :p :p

    WANG ZHI ZHI, You Have Lost Your HONOR! At 25 Years of age, you play like crap and you still Look like a baby. Moreover, you're name is not Phonetically Correct. From this day forth, you are now Wang Joo Joo

    THE END

    :p :p :p

    C'mon Rox, Let's ROCK!!!

    Kenny Thomas is out with an ankle injury tonight. May be Mo Taylor will get some playing time. If Brand goes off against our PF, I hope Rudy put in Cato to play against Brand defensively (not likely though).

    good news KT is out
    we don't need "the team"
    well, I do honestly think twin towers will give us defensive prowess.....
    let's hope rudy employ this strategy from time to time to make a defensive stop

    go rox go

    We're down 9, Moochie is missing free throws again, and we look veeeeery tired.

    On the plus side, Moochie's now sporting a cute girlie looking pony tail.:)
