    I have a bad feeling about this one. Z from the Cavs is a solid center and Yao might have some trouble. This could be a repeat of the Atlanta experience.

    Yup, this is not going to be a good game for the BBS during the 6 day break.

    We better win this game. Laker is only 2 1/2 games behind. I believe Rox will win. Just hope Yao is not that tire after playing 40+ mins last nite.

    Rockets 116
    Cabs 92

    Z is solid but he is not the kind of center that Yao has trouble with. He is skilled at offense end, makes 10-footers with ease, but is not strong enough to post up or bang with Yao Ming. Ming will have a big game. I estimate a 20/15 for Ming and a 15/8 for Z, and Rockets win 110:90.

    BTW, I will be at the game. Wow !!!!

    I dont want ANY excuses tonight. None whatsoever. It better not be "one of those night" type of thingies. I don't want it to be "they were just really hot from the perimiter".

    Just play solid D on Ricky, and make it tough to score inside. We should be on cruise control in the fourth quarter.

    Then of course these are the Rockets we are talking about. :(

    Eddie will continue to struggle. 3/11. 1/4 from 3 pointers. 7 pts, 5 rebs, 1 blk.

    Yao will have have limited touches but be a great decoy for our guards to shoot jumpers.

    92 Cavs

    87 Rox

    :(

    I don't like exaact predictions, I prefer probabilities.

    Probabilty Rox will win 40%.

    Probability Cavs will win 60%.

    Rockets will win, but it will be extremely close...

    I'm starting to wonder if the Rockets will win another game on the road this season...

    I think it will be "one of those night" type thingies. There will be iso after iso after iso. Mobley jacking up shot after shot after shot. Steve jacking up shot after shot after shot all while the Rockets set another team record for low shooting percentage.

    I predict that Yao will get about 5 shots tonight.

    a vote for the rockets losing is a vote for LA

    im looking forward to some pissed off killing spree by the rox, a well deserved blowout before the allstar break. (although gotta respect the cavs for knowing what to do with a 7'3 center with a jumpshot, we all know thats hard to realize)

    If we lose this game, we won't make the playoffs.

    The ball better go inside to Yao on at least 7 of the 1st 10 posessions...he doesnt necessarily have to shoot it, but he had better get early touches

    Rox are usually good on the back end of back-to-back games.

    A Big W going into the ASG!!! Steve and Yao will prove their worth as All-Stars!!!

    I posted already but here is another note.

    Ricky Davis and Wagner will have a high scoring game. Steve and Cat will want to show them who "the men" really are and start trying to "out duel" them with iso moves.

    Just about every time I get a "We can't lose this game" feeling because the other team is so bad, we lose the game. I've got that feeling. I feel like we're going to win, but I've been proven wrong in similar situations by the Rockets.
