    Even tho Dallas and San Antonio are division rivals, they are quite helpful in softening up opponents before we play them. :D :D

    T-Mac is going to light up Peja for 40+. He'll play the team game till the 4th quarter where he will just take over and FOD (flat out dominate).

    I wonder if T-Mac can catch AI for the scoring title...

    I don't know if the Rockets have a chance in this one without Charlie Ward. Remember how he hit those two clutch 3-pointers in OT to beat the Kings earlier this season? :D

    CHEATERS !!

    They knew that the Spurs would beat them, and decided to rest Peja to give them a chance against the Rockets.

    The plan FAILS !

    LOL. I don't think they're going to play Peja against us...they reported that he'd have an MRI on monday, unless they're going to let him play and possibly aggravate an unknown injury, he probably won't play.

    Notes:
    Jerry Reynolds, Sacramento's director of player personnel, said Stojakovic's back has been bothering him recently, but he is expected back in the lineup when the Kings play in Houston on Friday night




    You were saying?????

    With or without Peja, the Kings are a better team. I think the Rox can pull this out though, we're hot and Sac's on a back-to-back. The backcourt can't possibly shoot as poorly as they did last game.

    yao is going to have a rough night, brad miller (quicker, and good shooter) allways gives yao trouble on D, while ostertag finds a way to take yao out of his offensive game.

    tmac can go off for 40 wesley and barry can add some points as well. if either peja or webber are out we will win. if they are in then we need another game like we had against the mavs...124 points?

    The Kings will limp into TC tonight. They looked "dinged" up to me. They played the Spurs relatively well, especially in the second half, but Weber is limping, and Peja is struggling with back spasms. He may start, but I doubt he will last. They have to be tired, intense game with Spurs, So, the Rockets have a great chance to beat them. At least, better than at Arco. Rockets will still have to bring their "A" game. If they play like they did against the Hornets, not good.

    The Rockets must now raise their intensity and compete "hard" every night, they are in the thick of the race. Do they have it in them, do they really "want it?" We'll find out.

    Well, Mejia has us winning by 5. That guy is amazingly accurate with his picks, so thats a good sign.

    I don't know about that. Brad Miller never seems to give Yao trouble on D and Ostertag does give hime some fits but not consistently. Rembering and looking at the two games against the Kings so far, Yao has averaged 31pts, 10.5 rb, 1.5a. Those numbers definitely do not look like Yao has trouble with either of these players. I am expecting a pretty good game for Yao tonight if Sacramento continues to try to play Yao 1 on 1 as they have done this year.

    I'm more worrried about our perimater defense than anything tonight.

    I still think we will win tonight.

    If Strickland play for 20+minutes tonight, ROX would lose.
