    It is good to see teams want to at 100% when they play the Rockets just like the Pacers got JO and Jamal to play the other night. Rockets will win!

    Rockets 98 Pistons 88

    i thought he took good shots last night. he drove several times and missed EASY layups too. like he said, frustration offensively last night for him personally.

    Rox will blow them out - they always have a good shooting night after a horrific one. JVG made the correct decision by not playing rafer in the 4th, otherwsie the pacers could have stolen the game. Just don't know why JVG hasn't been doing this regularly - when rafer is not shooting well, he shouldn't play. TMac can handle the ball and throwing it to Yao is not that hard either.

    maybe championship preview but I honestly think it will be miami (if wade back) or Cleveland

    either way we win here....92-88

    I would love to predict a 40/20 game by yao, but i dunno if thatd be wise... oh well, im predicting it!! yao will get 40/20 but will still be a close game.

    Pistons has advantage on size, so it's tough for rockets.
    89:87 rockets win.

    Huh? Can you go position by position? I think yao is the tallest center, tmac is the tallest sg, and battier is bigger than most sfz, actually i cnnot even name one team has advantage on size over us?

    We win because Billups isn't playing, as you can see when Rafer has to play D consistently his offense suffers.

    t-mac as a rocket is 0-5 against the pistons... lets end that with a blow out.
    106-86 - the good guys

    His FG% with yao is probably the same as his FG% since a couple games before the All-Star break. Mac's a streak shooter, hopefully we head into the playoffs when he's just entering a hot streak.

    We need to destroy them, I do not want a comfortable lead, I want a huge blowout 20-30 points, I am tired of the Pistons and their cocky fans.

    All players have to play great defense and knock down open shoots, but we really need a big game for Yao and T-Mac, especially for Mac. Since Yao's return, Tracy is not shooting the ball so well. Let's change it and WIN it!

    ROCKETS 102 - 98 Pistons

    T-Mac 33/9/5
    Yao 24/11/3 blk:D

    idk if c.billups plays but whether he does or not, are keys to winning are
    1. Rebound
    2. Get going early
    3. watch turnovers

    If we get goin early that would be good. Hopefully TMACs shot will come back

    The sub HEAD wasn't hot either and is much worse ball handler.
    :confused:
