    we need to get yao going early. i don't think they'll front much with Z b/c he's a big guy himself. get him going early to get him into a groove. yao is our best home player anyways.

    We just need Battier to control King James, and cleveland will be dome..
    It's a home game, ZI can't flop any more with Yao..
    I think Chuck could be start this game..

    Assume Tmac + Yao cancel out Lebron + Z. Ilgauskas
    (if the outside shoout of Z is falling)

    So I hope our PF could step up (Scola & Landry!!)
    Suddenly we are deep at PF position :eek:

    Rocket Win!!

    THe key isn't to lock up James. The key is to lock up Larry Hughes and Ilgaskaus. Those two guys if playing well can hurt us more the Lebron because Lebron can do what ever he wants, but without any help...he loses.

    Put Shane on Lebron...AB/Alston combo on hughes and Yao on Ilgaskaus. Lets hope Hughes has a bad shooting night and ilgausakas is tired from yesterday

    Yao's jumper has left him again recently, so is his FT. :mad: Hope he gets them back tonight.

    If Gooden and Varajao are out who will be playing at the 4? Lebron and Donyell Marshall? If they double Yao at all Scola and Landry will destroy them inside.

    TMac is out with the flu. Maybe that will perk up the supporting cast. Let's see who steps up.

    How is him being "hopeful" mean he's out for sure. Have you heard something I haven't?

    I thought he just missed shootaround? I think it was the same thing Yao has, here is the link to the article ARTICLE

    I hope he plays b/c i bought some nice tickets from someone to watch this game. I'll be in section C101A, row AA, seats 1 and 2

    All I know, is this is nasty stuff and if he does play, I can't imagine him being terribly effective, can you? People are running high temps with this flu.

    I just saw Larry Hughes on the Houston Center skywalk to the four seasons hotel. He was on the phone and it was too late to get a pic.

    He's not as skinny as he look in the pictures. :D

    If T-mac is out, Yao needs to step up, and teammates need to give him the ball (when possible).

    No Luther too, so looks like Bonzi and Mike James will get lots of minutes.

    For some reason, I'm actually more confident we'll win with T-mac out. I have a feeling Lebron's not gonna be as pumped up for this game with T-mac out.

    battier has to force 'bron become a j-shooter (and obviously he knows).

    heard it from the calvin murphy show and murp thinks lebron's shooting form is problematic. and i've had the same feeling. personally i'm not a big 'bron fan and his game is not pretty.

    rebounding will (again) be the key to win. have not looked, but ain't they among the best rebounding teams?

    TMac out? We're in big trouble again. We can't afford to drop games..... We simply don't have the luxury because we played so badly in the first half of the season.

    I agree with McGrady out, this will be a tough one. Contrary to what someone else said, I think with McGrady out, James will try just as hard to kill us. Our first half of the season wasn't that bad. It just wasn't GREAT. We just didn't play near our potential. McGrady should play.
