    The Mavs are a tough matchup for us.We have to attack the basket all night long and make our free throws.Jump shooting won't get it done. Stopping Howard,Terry,Harris,Stackhouse and Dampier is going to be a hard job. I would prefer to see Dirk shoot his jumpers instead of seeing them making layups and getting dunks.

    I don't like to be cocky but I WANT A WIN

    We beat Detroit and we've beat some good teams

    Not lookin at our record we are a good team

    JEREMYS KEYS TO WINNING vs. MAVS

    1.Attack
    2.Rockets Defense
    3.Make Free Throws

    We need good bench play too

    We got lucky vs. Detroit but if we do those things

    WE SHOULD WIN!!!

    I have found a website that has p2p links to NBA games. It has Sopcast, TVants, etc. The coolest thing of all is it sometimes has "Mediaplayer" links, which I believe is the same as mms links.
    Anyway, go check it out and I hope it is useful to you.

    T-mac and Yao get mad and pound the mavs by dropping 65 pts collectively. According to sources, rafer will sit out tomorrow's game. I expect to see aaron brooks and sf3 get heavy minutes. Final score rockets 111 - 108 mavs.

    That's too much burden on Tracy. More 1 on 5 again? We need a point guard other than Rafer to step up and run the offense (push the ball and cross the court quickly), make sure Yao gets his touches, know his placement on the floor (floor spacing), and play good team defense. Otherwise this could get ugly.

    Lets win this game and please lets break the trend of stackhouse and TERRY being a rocket-killers. Lets knock the hell out of devin-biitch harris, and shut down dirk and lets do a healthy dose of tmac and yao high pnr and lets kill this team........rant over

    that's not entirely bad especially if head's the point. rockets need to big against the mavs. josh ho and stackhouse are mismatches for james and head at the two anyway.

    Rox win. The Mavs are pansies, especially 'No D'irk Nowinski. That faggy rallyflop of his will go unanswered tmw. Just watch out for Terry. Rox 96, Mavs 91.

    my take is, Mavs hate fast paced basketball, thats why they lost to Golden State..there fore if yao see's less time and we play chuck and scola, and a much smaller lineup more often we can play more up-tempo..this will he helped by brooks quickness etc..i dont think it would be a bad move to start him with rafer out and francis not playing great when he starts and james not seen as a starting type player on this team..
