    I think a key to watch tonight will be if Scola and Landry can stay out of foul trouble. If so, I like the defensive rebounding they will bring against the Jazz.

    I'll be there cheering!

    dwight howard just said on ABC, "i want to touch the sky everytime i jump and i just like DUNKING." i wish yao had that mentality to just tear off the basket every single time.

    It has been proved that Yao vs Boozer does not work well. The Rockets should make changes providing T-Mac is not in his 100%.

    Should try to start T-Mac and Scola and to put Scola on Boozer. Then back up Scola with Landry because Hays also cannot guard Boozer very well.

    Someone need to guard AK47, his jumper is greatly improved especially his 3 pt shooting. Do the Rockets have that on their scouting report?

    The Jazz defense seems a little bit chaotic this season. Too many newbies in rotations. Their offense is good. They are playing faster but their defense has been their problem this season.

    A Rockets win.

    115 - 105

    Go Rockets!

    5 in a row!

    If Yao is on the floor they will use who ever he's guarding to pick and roll him to death. We don't match up well with Boozer and DW and they don't match up well with Yao and T-mac. Rebounding will be key tonight because we can't afford to give the Jazz 2 or 3 chances to score. It's going to be a tough game tonight. I hope our bench steps up big if they do we will win this one at home.

    We can win this if our guys, every one of them, steps up. And for heaven's sake, let's hope the coach adjusts quickly if someone is having an off night.

    Go Rockets! You can do it!

    play lots and lots and lots of scola, landry, and brooks.

    if scola and landry get good minutes, we will win the rebounding battle.


    my key to the game is this: win the rebounding battle, win the game.

    Agreed. Yao also gets revenge and has a monster slam on Boozer.

    Rockets need these next two, especially coming off of the huge win at Portland. They need to string together some wins.

    Rockets 98
    Jazz 89

    he been playing like crap???

    before the last game, he been averaging 25/12/3 shooting over 50% for like 10 games...

    you should start watching more rox games before you comment douchebag..

    don't diss a player just cuz he had one bad game.

    A must win game for both sides. Whichever team has the biggest set wins.
