    Damn, I forgot Wang is on the Clippers. I'm sure that it's all psychological for Yao, so hopefully he'll get over it.

    Yao, Cato, Griffin and Mo

    Vs.

    Rooks, Parks, Wilcox, and Ely


    We better win. Steve and Mo should win this one for us.

    Rockets 99
    Clippers 81

    We are actually just 1/2 game behind Pheonix (even in the loss column)? We better win the next two games, then we can have a duel with the Suns. Games after that are tough.

    The Clippers have a very good team. Many fine individual players. The reason they lose is that they play as individuals more than as a team. The reason the Rockets lost to them was that the Rockets tried that same game. Let's hope we can play as a team.

    If we lose any of the next three games we're out of the playoffs and the big topic should be whats going to happen in the off season.

    I predict:

    Hou: 82
    Clips: 74

    what happens if we win? Do we become tied for the 8th spot, or do we actually take it over? may be a stupid question, but Ive always had a hard time figuring out the "games back" stat

    Rockets Win in a close game. Better not forget about Marco Jaric he killed us last time. As long as they get Cuttino envolved early Glen and Mo envoled in the 2nd and Yao in the 4th we will be good to go.




    Rockets 94

    Clippers 91

    OK I might be wrong for saying this, but isn't it in nail Clippers' interest to lose this game? I mean they are a top contender in the Lebron James lottery and the guys that have to play well for a huge contract next season (Brand and Kandiman) are out. They should just toss this game.

    If the Rockets win they move into a tie with the Suns for the 8th spot, but take over the 8th spot by virtue of owning a 2-1 series lead on the Suns. I hope Rudy drilled it into the guys' heads that this IS the playoffs and they need to play a a team. If they play as a team I think the Rockets will win:

    Rocks 95
    Clippers 81

    If the Rockets don't play as a team it'll be a close game. Either way the Rockets need to come out with fire. Kandi and Brand are out.

    Rocket will lose. Yao will score less than 10 points. He never defeated Wang Zhizhi's team before in China and in US.

    We would take over the 8-th spot becaues currently we own the tie-breaker with Suns, 2-1 against them in this season.

    It is so amazing that so many people think Rox will win. You guys will be really disappointed if Rox lose.
