Let's see... Artest gave us matchup problems last time as he's too strong for Battier and too quick for a bigger guy. We'll have to figure out a good way to shut him down. I think Snyder can handle KMart on D whereas Head may have problems staying with him. Bibby's almost impossible to guard when he's on, but that hasn't been happening very often. Oh yeah, JHo and Hayes have to keep Corliss from getting going like he did last time. Anyway, we gots this 100-80 as our D is good and Captain Kirk and Mutombo continue to supply the energy. It was encouraging to see that even without Yao and with Tmac not having a good game, we could blow out a Bobcats team that is just getting near full health again.
T-Mac leading the rockets to another victory. He will finish off with 29 pts, 6 rebs and 8 assists. As for Deke, another splendid night for him, blocking 5 shots in the FIRST quarter en route to a double-double (10 pts - 10 blks). Rockets will win this one by a comfortable margin. Final score, Rox 100 - 88 Kings.
Rockets win 101-83 T-Mac scores 30 and sits out in the fourth quarter. Kirk Synder has another good game of the bench.
tmac needs to dominate here b/c kings have options offensively to hurt us if tmac doesn't carry the load. tmac steps up and we win 101-92 tmac - 33, 5, 7 artest - 22, 6, 3 deke dominates AGAIN
rockets wins t-mac for 45 points .final score 97-90.t-mac is warming up for the match against dallas.i could tell by his last game against them that he will absolutely do all he can against the mavs this thursday.he was so mad at them
Another distracted team in turmoil comes to town. Saturday, they go to Seattle and blast the Sonics easily. Yesterday, they get beaten at home by the same team.
^ yea i think tmac gets really pumped up for dallas b/c that's the team that stopped him from advancing.
I think Bonzi will sit out this game for personal issues. Either that or the flu or something. It has nothing to do with Ron Artest. Nothing. We win. Artest totally man handled both TMAC and Battier - maybe Snyder can try to guard him. If Bonzi plays - I want to see Bonzi on Artest - that might be fun to watch.
