    Rox will be whipped. Miller will beat the **** out of steve and Camby is going to kill Ming in the paint.

    Prediction

    Houston - Denver 70 - 90

    Ming will be dominating. Ewing knows everything about Camby and Ming will too. Francis is usually "Jordan-like" during the first few games of the season. He will put on a show after the Rockets pull away. Rockets by +20. To lose their first game in their new stadium, with their new unis, and their new coach, and their new players to DENVER would be a PR disaster of mega-proportions. Won't happen. (I hope!)

    Here is a nice article on the top teams in the West from ESPN's page 2:

    http://espn.go.com/page2/s/simmons/031030.html

    Has the Rockets as the 5th best team in the West, but he has the TWolves at number 7 which I think is very questionable .. I like the optimism though :)

    My prediciton: Rockets win 51 games this season

    I think the Rockets will win 96-82

    I think the Rockets will come out strong and establish Yao in the post.

    Yao will come out very aggressive due to Camby's comments. Yao sometimes tends to play polite basketball unless he feels he has been disrespected. I do not think he liked Camby's post-game commits from the preseason game.

    JJ I think will have a huge game. He was in a bad shooting slump at the start of the preseason but lately his form seems to have returned. He will get many open looks due to the Rockets inside game. He will also love to take advantage of the rookie with a few veteran tricks of the trade.

    If Denver throws up as many bricks as they did against SA Cato will have 15+ boards.

    Francis will have a solid game. He will focus on running the system and will surprise people with his solid defense and low turnovers.

    Cat I am still unsure if he has bought into the system yet. If he is patient and works within the system he will get plenty of open looks. If he abandons the system and trys to do to much on his own he may still score due to his talent but could receive a quick hook from JVG.

    JVG wants to make sure the Rockets get off to a fast start to this season. He will treat it like a big game and keep a very short rotation.

    No more waiting the road to the playoffs starts tonight!!!

    Rockets 85 denver 80.

    I think it will be close. But Stevie's increased defense and Yao's man handling of Camby will provide the spark that we need.

    I think Anthony goes off after watching Lebron.

    The first game is always the best, so much hope, the hope we don't suck, hope everyone on the team gets along, no arrests, and no more I hate Steve threads.

    Rockets win 88-79.
