    We cant allow them to establish aldridge early. we gotta pressure there ball carries with trap and press defense. if they establish there hlfcourt game and exploit there size advantiage, it's gonna be a long night for us.

    Another key will be defensive rebounding. potland is a very, very good offnsive rebounding outfit, so it's critical that we get all defensive boards we can.

    2nd quarter in Portland was the only bad quarter. By third and fourth Rick had the matchups figured out.

    Prediction: Rockets win this one at home.

    Rockets by 4!

    2-1 isn't a shabby way to start off the season!

    Its going to be tough but i think we can shock the blazers with a buzzer beater from Brooks!
    Final score Rockets 104-102!

    Chuck Hayes is averaging 5 ppg.
    Oden is averaging 4 ppg.
    Blake is averaging 3.5 ppg.

    Hayes is more of a threat to score than two of Portland's starters.

    Hmm... If the Suns blow it up this season. I wonder if Yao has enough sway to recruit Nash?

    Thank god the first home game is here, I'll be heading to the Toyota Center with the usual blind optimism! Should be a close one tonight but I fancy us to sneak a win.

    They are still avenging the playoff series loss, we are avenging our season opener loss, we are young and fast, they are young and athletic. I'm expecting playoff intensity. Should be a fun one. GET LOUD!
