    I'd like to see the Rockets focus on attacking the Mavs interior defense -- perhaps get Yao going early on and feed Mo for that second wind. If we try to match the Mavs ina shoot out, we're doomed.

    Well if Rudy, decides to play Yao unlike todayb (against San Ant), I am sure we will come out ready to win the game. I had a doubt if we had beat the Spurs today, but now I think the Rockets realize that they MUST win this game, considering Utah, Minnesota, Spurs, etc. all won their games today. It is important to make a statement. My prayers are with the Rox!

    I smell three streak losses.
    Mavs 98
    Rockets 90

    If Rockets can win against Mavs, I'll be very surprised.
    Well-rested and hungry Mavs against beaten-up and tired Rockets. Odds is against the Rockets.

    Franchise is going to be focus for this game. After sitting out the entire 4th quarter, Steve is probably coming out with a vengenance (hopefully). It's about time for Yao to have another big game. Plus the Rockets usually match well with the Mavs. Rockets by 7.

    Rockets 99
    Mavs 98

    Francis is fresh, only 30 minutes last night. Yao Ming had 24 minutes, which is not low (for him) but not high. I don't expect these guys to be as tired as the rest. If you look at the boxscore, no one but uttino really played big minutes.

    Mavs can't handle Yao Ming. They'll turn a lot of attention to him. Because of this, Francis and Griffin will win this game for us.

    All we need is good D from Mobes, Posey, and Griffin. Ming always does his thing, and Francis is trying, but ineffective for the most part. It's not that he doesn't try, he just doesn't know how. A defensive coach would really help I think.

    Francis 30pts, 7asst, 7reb, 3TO
    Griffin 18pts, 10reb, 4blk
    Ming 10pts, 10reb, 2blk

    MoT looked really good last night. He even grabbed 5 rebounds and dished out 4 assists.

    Even though our stars did not shine today, I see big things from both SF and Yao tomorrow. Dallas has not been playing well recently and teams have been scoring plenty on them.

    SF 28 pts/11 assts
    YM 24 pts/15 boards

    Rox beat Mavs, 105 to 99. Mark Cuban was ejected from the game for tackling the refs.

    Mavs are coming back from a couple of though losses. They're gonna be pissed, and will take their anger out on us.

    Mav 109 Rockets 87

    I'm sorry....:(

    Yao 0, Bradly 30 this time
    AHHAHAHAHA ok, seriously, I think Dallas will let Najura guarding Yao since he is quicker and smaller. he did a good job on Yao last game. Yao seems tired, and don't expect him to play well
