    Payback time! National TV on ESPN...would love to see the Rockets win this one. Yao is bound to go off for a big game against the Sonics.

    Go Rockets! :)

    Looking at the next 5 games our schedule is brutal...we have to steal a couple of wins or else we will be 8-11 before you know it.

    Go ROCKETS !!

    The Rockets are averaging 85 poitns a game over their last five. They've lost horrible, yet close, games twice, only beat an awful Warriors team with a superstar performance from Kelvin Cato and do poorly both on the road and against decent teams. If I was a betting man, I wouldn't put anything down on the Rockets.

    As a fan, though, I expect a win - although I'd be even more satisfied with some good basketball, win or loss.

    I'm not even going to TRY to predict a score for this one...The Sonics should have the Rockets put away by the end of the third quarter, though...

    Hopefully, my attendance losing streak won't slide to five. But I don't have much hope.

    I'll still be cheering like hell, however.

    I hope that the Rockets remember the November 5th home loss to Seattle, and come out playing with fire and intensity.

    Fans let's be real here:

    Sonics 104 Rockets 93

    We've got a pretty decent team to go against, and Seattle is no Golden State...

    Francis 26 pts, Yao 20pts, Rice 16pts, Cato 14pts

    I'm just hoping the Rockets play better than they have the past 3 games. That kind of craptacular basketball can't keep going on . . .

    I know it's very very early, but if the Rockets win this game, I'll feel that the playoffs are a near definite possibility (maybe w/ a decent rank too). If they don't... well I won't be surprised.

    To win, at least a couple of the Rockets scorers have GOT to come out of their recent shooting slumps, with emphasis on Francis.

    Also, I don't think the Sonics have much of an inside post presence either offensively or defensively (hell, Payton might be their best post player). So Ming, Cato, and hopefully even Taylor and/or Griffin could be very important.

    I think the problem with the Rockets shooting is they put the wrong players on the court. First of all, they should not start Hawkins, why do you think this guy is a good shooter?

    The starters should be:

    Francis
    Rice
    Griffin
    Taylor
    Yao

    substition should be:

    Francis (no sub)
    Hawkins in for Rice
    Thomas in for Griffin
    Taylor
    Cato in for Yao

    I think this will improve the Rockets' performance

    I predict that Yao Ming will have an excellent performance tonight, based on his performance curve.:D
