    If we can beat the Celts, I will really be convinced by this team. The Celts are really deep at all positions, Blount backs up LaFrenz, Jefferson backs up Toine and they can throw players at you in waves. That said we have been torching everyone else.

    Hmmmmmmmm

    Celtics are good, legit.
    Rockets are shooting hot, hot, hot.

    Can Rockets overcome a cold night?
    Can they rebound and defend well enough to pull out a win if the shooting cools?

    Cause if they keep shooting hot, they will blow them out.

    If they cool off the outside shots, then they better not turn the ball over and they better rebound and defend.

    If the Rockets play sluggish Boston has a chance.

    Rockets- 97
    Celtics- 95

    Believe it or not this one goes back and forth and we win on shear mental toughness. Yao makes a huge basket and 2 big free throws to hold off the Celtics who tie the game at 93 with 27 secs left.

    The Celtics have no inside game, and they cannot be hot from outside for the entire 4 qtrs, especially against a good defensive team like us.

    A double digits win by the Rox.

    I hope we played stellar D again from the beginning. So Antoin walker and Pierce etc lay brick after brick and we got the rebound, and play fun and gun basketball, blow them out by half time.

    If Yao plays reasonably well and Boston's big men laFrentz and walker don't have a crazy 3-pt shooting night, Rockets are gonna rout Celtics.
    But even if Yao plays bad such as the 6 points game last season at Boston, I have confidence that rockets' role players will step up and still seal a win.
    Results 120:100 or 101:99, a sure win for rockets.

    LOL.



    lets not forget that boston has been able to upset seattle and phoenix too. they know how to defend great shooting teams. we might have an off night from the perimeter but our inside game keeps us ahead.
