    Yeah, this game scares me for the same reason. But it's definitely a game the Rockets should win.

    Where is MemphisX these days. Hiding and hopeless? Last year, no one paid attention to the Grizz team and they had a nice, little run. This year, they are exposed hard and early.

    As long as Yao doesn't run into the foul trouble, we will get a win! The refs better think twice before they blow the whistle in front of 18,003 (+?) fans ;)

    A tie occurs, both teams decide to reconcile their differences, hug and dance merrily into the sunset, holding hands.

    Loss. Rockets won't be ready to match Memphis' intensity and will be behind most of the game.

    Blowout win. Rockets winning by 15-20 after three quarters. Scrubs play final 4-5 minutes.

    C'mon Rockets, a blowout win is what you need.

    Didn't get to see the Yao game on Saturday night :mad: so he better step it up again, I mean it was cool to see Tracy take over on Friday night but a tag team effort would of been much better. I'm thinking the Grizzlies come out fighting but the Rockets come back again and win in regulation sending MemphisX into an even longer hibernation.

    Grizzlies will fight as hard as they can. They need this win. So, I'd say we will lose this game unless Yao can score more than 25 points.

    I just hate Gasol. THere is something about him I don't like. I want Deke stuff him another big one like he did in the last game.

    This game is going to be a test for JVG, we will see if he can make plays that could get the ball into hands of Yao.

    theteam, I live a little north of ya on I35 (New Braunfels), I'll drive down to Santonio, and go with you providing all directions (Houston transplant) if you'll just spare me a ticket. I'll even buy the GAS. email me if you're intrested.

    PS, we can stay in Houston after the Game at a Lesbians House (she has lots of BI, straight friends)

    After read your instructions to downtown stadium, I admire Yaoming's driving skill as well as his touch.

    You will hate him more after he block Yao two more times and steal two more times from Yao tomorrow.

    I am really disappointed in Yao this year. He still does that ugly under basket layup in stead of dunk and still as slow as my grandma!

    i don't think he can be any faster at 7'6" unfortunatly he can't do anything about that.

    As far as him getting blocked your right..until he learns to keep the ball up high when he gets it he is going to get stripped and blocked a lot by smaller people....

    Van Gundy figures out how to use Yao and get Yao involve. T Mac just being TMac. Everyone else steps up and make plays, play tight D. Limit Memphis to just 32% shooting and 15% 3 point shooting.

    Prediction:

    Rockets 109
    Memphis 89

    T Mac 25 pts, 8 rbs, 15 assts, 2 blks, 4 steals

    Yao 39 pts, 15 rbs, 5 assts, 6 blks, 2 steals

    Ward 25 minutes, 5/5 from downtown, 8 assists, 1 stls, 0 turn over

    MoT going 10 for 12

    We all have a good time watching this game.

    You really miss the Sat game...that was some tag team between Yao and Tmac. They were dominating....
