    If the Rocks stick with what they're supposed to: team defense and good ball movement, they can win this, even though it's the second of a back-to-back. Fockass is definitely key.

    Rocks: 97
    Mavs: 92

    I sense a loss here but I predict a win nevertheless.

    Parents got me tickets to the game. Some of my friends here, say every time they have been to watch the Mavericks, they lose. I hope they do the same for me. :D

    Go Rockets!!

    Anyone else going to the game?

    There was some punk kid on a sports show up here Sunday night that said he hated Eddie Griffin. I hope we kill them. Of course, if we win, I'll have to listen to the idiotic Mavs fan talking about getting Duncan for Finley...like that's going to happen. :rolleyes:

    I think the Rox will see a lot of zone defense tonite because of the Mav's poor interior defense and their inability to contain our guards.

    If we can knock down some perimeter shots tonite we have a GREAT chance to steal one. IMHO Mavs are really missing the energy and defense Najera brings.

    Hope we put Posey on Finley. That'll be a fun matchup!! Also expect Franchise and Yao to rebound strong from yesterday.

    I hope you are just smelling your upper lip man. ;)

    Rockets will win, we owe the Mavs!

    The Rockets need to watch the Phoenix tape and see how they beat Dallas the other night. They held Dallas to 38% FG Shooting which is amazing and they only had 10 TO's. The Rockets have to shoot well (Phoenix shot 46.9%) and take care of the ball. I think the Rockets will beat Dallas by at least 10. :D

    Najera has been out for quite a while now due to surgery.

    Does anyone know if this game will be televised on league pass? For some reason my league pass in Atlanta doesn't list the Rockets, Mavs game.

    We are gonna get ran. Mavs on their first losing streak of the year and rudy's gameplan leaves our players clueless in trying to attack a zone.

    Mavs 106
    Rox 94

    This game already ends in the first half -- Dallas leads by 20 heading to the locker room.

    sorry.

    The Mavs are gonna be real hungry. Donnie Nelson will go haywire if he loses this one and the rest of the Mavericks know that.

    I'd say

    Mavs 102
    Rockets 89

    Just cause once we get down, the guards are gonna jack up the 3 ball alot.

    Wow, we have a lot of fans favoring the Rockets in this one...:rolleyes:

    Mavericks 103

    Rockets win in OT. Steve hits many clutch shots in the 4th. Yao will have a great game 20-10-5 atleast. GO ROckets. I believe tonights game is televised all over texas on FSSW. Or atleast it is in Lubbock. Im pumped

    According to the NBA website this game will be televised on terrestrial TV in China, unlike the Spurs game.

    I hope Yao Ming turns it up a notch and we beat the Mavs.

    Rudy starts Moochie, Cat, TMo, Jason, and brings Charles Jones out of retirement. ( He does this for match up reasons) Rockets lose by 56, and 1/2 the board still loves him because he won 2 rings 20 years ago, 1/2 the boards sees what my mom even sees....... Rudy can't coach.

    On a more serious note, I say we win this one by 6.

    well, we're getting them on a "slump", along with a fired up francis. that's about all the help we can ask for. hope to god i'm wrong, but:

    Mavs 105
    Rockets 91

    would be a huge win for us if we can steal it, but, if not, this minor 2 game setback WILL be remedied with the following 3 game win streak we are going to run off afterwards.

    Us Mavs fans aren't too confident. The Mavs have been sucking lately and can't stop anybody. A one point win would be ok with me.

    Mavs 100
    Rockets 99
