    I think we should leave Yao out in this game because he is too slow.

    That s going to be a tough one.
    Yao gonna have a great defender on him. The three s are going to be a big problem, with peja, mo p, bobby J etc. And chris paul passing to them! :rolleyes:
    David West a great mid range pf. Seriously, that game is scaring me.Since the game is in home, a advantage.

    Scola and Yao will have to come up big.

    Predict a win since it s in our home.

    This is the first huge test for the Rockets. Are we real contenders? Or are we pretenders?

    Rockets win! Yao goes for 30 and 10 and the rockets have 4 other players in double figures. Its gonna be a tough game but i think the rockets will escape with the W 101-95

    Yao should stay in the paint, Chandler can not shoot middle-range jumpers.

    This will be a real test for us.

    Consider that we're alergic to Hornets just like Mavs are to Warriors.

    Yes, they're good , we're better we can beat them but you know we have been always bad vs. NO.

    Plus is that it's a home game, team is playing with confidence and they can win with a little support.

    Yao will be the key.

    And, THANKS GOD I'll be watching it since it televised in Europe.

    No, but unfortunately Chris Paul can. He's going to eat us alive with that pick and roll.

    OK, Wizards just swallowed Celtics, ha-ha.

    And dont put the crab that we ONLY whiped up on the scrubs and neglect what we have achieved which were not easy.

    The odds of winning for both teams is about .50 to .50. Since I am a Rockets Fun, I believe Rockets will win.

    The Final Resutl:

    Rox 95-92 Hornets

    Chandler plays really really physical on Yao, that's why Yao doesn't often have great games against Hornets.

    that's why Yao has to be PHYSICAL against Chandler too, be aggressive, get to the Freethrow line, put Chandler in foul trouble, and dominate the inside.

    yeah. it's my tears of happiness. :D

    unlike the out side shooting %, it could be very streaky, up or down. these tear drop % is the real improvement from hard working. Trust me, his 3 point shooting % can have slumps in the future, but his tear drop % will be very consistent. you can bet on it. And the best of all, his tear drop % is on a extremely high level now. RA is gold now.

    There is no way we win without T-Mac vs a good team.

    I'm predicting a loss and if I'm wrong you can demote me to rookie :)

    Their road record is better than our home record. Home court against these guys means nothing.
