    Rockets 102
    Clips 93

    Hopefully the Rockets will have a comfortable halftime lead. Every damn time they come out flat in the 3rd and lose their composure (except against NJ). We need to see them with fire in their eyes like they has vs. the Nets. Damn I hate these games!!

    For those in the west coast, this game is on Fox Sports West 1. I don't remember seeing any Clippers games on that channel this season. Weird.

    The Clippers just signed a 6 year deal with Fox Sports just before Alvin Gentry got fired.

    ok folks, this is how its really gonna go down. zuzu wang or what ever the hell the guys name is trips on the way out to the shoot around and breaks his nose... he thinks he ok for the game but after an elbow by yao, and a francis facial he dicides to retire and goes to japan in exile to live the rest of his meaninless life were he dies under a brigde and nobody finds the body for about a decade.

    oh and the rockets win
    rox 96
    lac 80

    steve is 2 assist away from a trip dub, and yao is 3 blocks away from his own trip dub.

    The fact that Brand's not playing seals the deal.

    Clippers 108
    Rockets 83

    :rolleyes:

    It's actually a lot worse, but Rockets manage to make it look "respectable."

    Yao 6 pts 2-3 FG
    Mobley 9 points 3-19 FG
    Francis 16 points 6-20 FG

    And no, this is not "reverse psychology."

    This is the type of game the Rockets have been losing all year. They had a long break, they are facing a weak opponent, they've had time to practice, but they will be unfocused and will blow it. Their dumb mistakes in the 4th will kill them.

    Clippers 91

    Yao Ming needs a realy big game to take him over 14pts/game. Steve Francis is feeling much better and lets it rip in the third quarter. Mobley is seen to deny the ball to four open players calling for the ball. He has a poor night, till the last minute of the Game, when he scores a big three to tie the game, then goes onto pass to Yao Ming for a 15ft shot that wins the Game! THE ROX BY TWO.!!

    The Rockets are going to win this game easily. I think the Roxs are playing better now.Wang ZZ is a piece of trash and has no game.Please and I mean Please never compare him to Yao or ever say he's better than Yao. Wang is funny looking, he has the face of a 5-yr old. This will be a good game to show off EG and Cat for a possible trade this summer with the clips since they will be letting all of their players go this summer for free or for any teams mascot and ball boy. Go Roxs--Yao is King ;)

    The game plan for this one should be obvious... DUMP - IT - DOWN. No set play should begin without Yao or MOT touching the ball. The Clips have Rooks and Parks on the inside, not exactly an imposing front line. If Yao gets Wang ZZ, he needs to be aware of the vlade poke and just ben wallace him down until he is within dunking range. if the rox fail to execute this painfully obvious game plan, then they truly are as stupid as they sometimes appear and have no business being in the playoffs. GO ROX!!!

    I love the wayl Mobley plays defense when he invites his man to drive it in on Yao and get his big man in foul trouble.
