    We beat Nuggets and help Sonics to win the Northwest Division.

    If we win, I hope Kings can win all the games remaining, otherwise we will be 5th seed and play against Mavericks. GO ROCKETS and Queens!:D

    I hope and think Rockets will win the game, a big, close and excellent win. Meanwhile, T-Mac and Ming both have big shows.

    I expect Deke plays a lot of minutes.

    Lets say they win by 23 points, because I will turn 23!

    LOL! Can definately relate

    They actually lost to the Suns (twice) and beat the Duncan-less Spurs twice.

    Rocks win 129-125 in double OT. McGrady goes off for an even 50 with 8 rebounds and 9 assists to go with 6 steals. Ming pours in 33 with 16 boards and 7 blocks (5 on K-Mart trying to dunk on him)

    Miller torches us for 37 points and Person gets 24 off the bench

    We should have Spoon commit a hard foul on K-Mart so we can get that bonehead to retaliate and get tossed.:D

    But we will lose Spoon and miss his 0-12 FG, and 2 rebounds. Not to mention getting blocked 7 times right under the basket.

    I have been waiting for this game all week, because it's a big game and because me and my wife are going down to see it!

    Rockets need to play strong interior D, I think whoever wins the points in the paint battle will win the game. Also, transistion D will be key to the Rockets win, we can't allow denver to have easy baskets.

    I Believe!

    Agreed OddsOn. I look for the Rockets to win. Being rested at home, against the Nuggets who played the night before a thousand miles away, sets up a favorable scenario.

    :D

    Realistically, double K-Mart on the catch. Box out well, no second chance points for their forwards. Put Wesley on Miller to stop his penetration and force him to shoot it from outside.

    T-Mac is critical (as always). If he burns them for 30+, we have a great chance of winning. They cannot stop him..

    Edit: Use Ryan Bowen on Carmelo Anthony often and let T-Mac guard their scrub 2-guards, so he doesn't waste his energy. I'm sure Bowen would like to show up his old team as well.

    I'm not expecting Yao to give us a big game, but if T-Mac is on, we might not need it. Mutombo will be used a lot, anyways.

    Yes, we do have to do a lot of defense.
    But hold on. Why should only us worry about them? They are not scared of us?
    From their view, they should worry about our guys. Especially when our guards are coming back:D
