    Are you offering free tickets? :)

    I am going Saturday night.

    This game doesn't scare me, Houston will play hard and I think they can win. The scary game is Saturday night vs Memphis, especially if they beat Dallas....

    Unless the Mavs really want to face the Lakers in the first round, shouldn't they lose this game on purpose?

    I would like to say the Rockets will win this one. But the way they have gotten whooped by Dallas so far this season...i just dont know.


    Dallas...I hope...Loses...They beat The spurs tonight and I was rooting for the Spurs through their great come back..but they came too short in the end.

    I hope they take it easy on the rocks....

    This is not going to be pretty.

    Rockets will lose bad. No match for Nowitzki, Finley or Nash. They are going to kill us offensively and kill us w/ the zone.

    Dallas 112
    Houston 95

    CHALUPA TIME! :D

    There will be lot of Najera fronting Yao, we'd better find ways to pass the rock to him early when he is in motion.

    The other good option is to feed Taylor the ball in the post.
    Taylor has been on fire lately, and with him having the ball in the post will force Dirk to play some defense, hopefully that will slow him a little bit for his offense game.

    Slow the game down, don't try to win a shoot-out against the Mavs. Inside out , swing the Rocks and give Rice some open looks. Rox win!!!

    "SLOW" the game down is a key to beat Mavs, cant more than agree.

    Damn. None of you guys have faith? I think we will win. Mobley is going to run circles across that $%&*! Finley.

    Im with ZRB...i dont think we have a chance to win. Francis isnt gonna be able to put up 44 like he did against the Lakers. They are gonna try to double Ming every time he gets the ball. I dont think Houston can consistently knock down those jumpers after Ming kicks it out.

    Dallas 112
    Houston 90

    :(

    You are absolutely correct jackfan. I am not thinking this before. I am now 99% sure Rockets gonna win this game.

    Also read the game preview by Mavericks announcer at NBA.com's Mavericks page. At the end, you'll see that they hope they meet Rockets at the playoff, instead of Lakers.

    The Rockets have done a good job of dumping the ball into Yao lately and letting the offense flow through him. I wouldn't be surprised if Dallas began to front Yao, deny Yao the ball, and let the Rockets swing the ball to open shooters. If we can hit those open jumpers and dominate the boards like we did against Phoenix, we can win. If those open jumpers don't fall, we're going to be in for a long night.
