    Which team will show up?

    The one that plays defense and passes the ball to find the open man.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~OR~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    The one that thinks defense is a foreign word, and only passes the ball as a last opition.

    One team can get themselfs an easy win tonight, the other will lose to make it three in a row and beg for Rudy to step in and make a few demands on the style of play.

    This should be a nice test for the team.

    Granted, the Heat have struggled all year, but they are another team with a M A N playing in the paint (Brian Grant).

    Will the Rockets Bigs be thrown around inside as they were by Elton Brand in the Clipper game, or will they 'grow a pair' and come to play? (BTW, that includes Yao Ming as well, he's still a member of the team.)

    Seriously, the Heat just don't have enough scorers.


    Rockets - 82
    Heat - 72

    I missed seeing the last game, so I'm going off of second hand info., but losing to teams we should beat because we're getting away from what was successful (defense, passing the ball, defense, playing inside-out, defense) has to stop. I hate to call anything this early in the season a must-win, but the Rocks need to make a statement with this one. If we lose this game it'll get ugly around here.

    Ever the optimist...

    Rocks 86
    Heat 83

    The loss to Grizzlies and Clippers were disappointing but a third loss against Maimi would be devastating! I don't think i will be able to handle it. This is a must win.......

    Radio link is all good....EXCEPT FOR THE 5 MIN RADIO DELAY.

    Well, for basketball I can tolerate...baseball in the worst.

    Heat have come out on fire...better early than later I always say...

    Are they even feeding Yao in the post???? His only post up try has been on an offensive rebound. Are the Heat playing zone or something? So far....

    Yao: 0 shot attempts!!!

    the refs are letting grant manhandle Yao. he keeps shoving, and then fronting, and the one time we even tried a lob over the top, yao gets mugged with no call.

    Steve, why reach when Cato's there to block Best? Cato, why are you such a lazy b*stard who cant get a rebound off a missed freethrow?

    They can't get the ball into Yao when he is fronted. Shame.

    Why are there no replays in this game? :mad:

    Not necessary to run the offense through YAO every time, but what the heck is this? I think he only got the ball 3 times and 1 of them is his own offensive rebound. That's it. :confused: :confused:

    Steve did pass to him once, but that pass was supposed to give to a 8'5 (not 7'5) player.
