Exactly. I "knew" they were going to lose but they didn't. Just like I "know" the Rockets are going to lose tomorrow night.

From my perspective, the Rockets are going to have a tough time playing Nuggets because of a lack of offensive efficiency and athleticism. That's my knowledge. The game still needs to be played because on any given night, anything can happen.

So basically what your saying is that you dont know anything.

Rockets will do what they always do after a bad loss. WIN!

So the Rockets *always* win after a bad loss?? I beg to differ as there are some pretty obvious counter-examples to that statement ....

I'd like to see this lineup at one point in the game.

Steve Francis
Tracy McGrady
Shane Battier
Ron Artest
Yao Ming

Good question. At least we know we have Tracy and Yao. Artest should play as well. I do belive only Rafer and Barry will be out

Melo didn't play in Denver, and he is back. That is not encouraging. It would be special if Yao, TMac, and Artest could all be on the court at the same time.

without rafer, we match up perfectly with them.

billups is a guy who does well v. shorter/weaker PGs and he did that v. alston in our first meeting (along with AB).

now adelman might be forced to put artest/battier on him. billups isn't quick or explosive enough to exploit the height difference. and we usually have a good handle on carmelo anthony.

and once again, they have nobody to guard tracy or yao. and if artest gets back, a weaker secondary defender will be on him so he will have a good game too.

On paper, no team I guess have a strong defender to guard all Yao, Tmac, and Artest. On paper no center can really guard Yao 1 on 1. If the double team comes to on of our big 3, there are 2 more stars to take advantage. Plus we still have Scola,Landry,brooks,wafer,alston,battier to punish teams if they pay to much attention on our big 3. I still feel that we on paper have depth on the same level as the celts and lakers.

I keep on believing this team and waiting for the offense to really click

with Artest in and Rafer out, the chances can only get better.

still not great, but better.

btw, did Artest play in the last game against Nuggets?
I don't remember

Without Alston, It could be TMac switch to PG along with Artest and Battier playing. Rockets should be win this game if we compare players match up. Just hope Rockets carry out the plan and playing in-out with Yao as the vocal offensive.
