    Man, we have to win this. If we can't beat the Grizzle without Gasol, we really aren't as good as I thought. If we can just shut down Mike Miller, we should win easily. Maybe TMAC can guard one of his best friends (miller) and have more motivation to play and keep him in check. I don't see anyone else ont hat team that can really beat us.

    Rockets win 110-94

    Let starts a wining streak since the next 4 games are all winnable: Memphis, Milwaukee, New York, and Miami. Go Rockets... Btw, this game will be shown on the SCORE network for those live in Canada.

    1. Yao should have more shots

    2. Yao should have no many stupid fouls

    3. Others can give some help

    That's enough to win. (only to this game)


    Only to strong team, we need T-mac ;)

    Unbelievable. This game is Shane Battier poster day!! First 5k in attendance get a poster of our own Shane Battier. When was the last time it happened that an opposing team's player was the subject of a promotion? They must really love Shane.

    We've got to punish team like Memphis. If Yao can stay out of early foul trouble, we'll dominate the game.

    102-85

    T-Mac gets those 35 points he was supposed to in the past 3 games, Yao gets the 14 rebounds he was supposed to as well.

    Rockets win, smack Memphis up.

    :D

    In a word

    Yao is the biggest problem in our team but not T-mac.

    Do you guys agree?

    Disagree.

    Yao is the best player on this team, when he plays well(w/no fouls), we win.

    If T-Mac stepped it up a bit, this might not be true.

    Pound it to Yao until he cant shoot any more. Each and every trip. Continue stingy D and get some easy fastbreak points. The game will become easy that way.

    Even with T-mac struggling this should be a win, it'd be nice to get both of these road wins and then come home to face the Knicks.

    Rox- 104
    Griz- 92

    This should be the softest defense T-mac has seen so far hopefully he can make hay.

    Shane Battier will dunk on both Gay and Swift... reverse dunks... 360 reverse dunks.

    Hi DaDokota. I am also in the UK and was wondering how you are watching the games? What exactly does DVR and Hava stand for? Are they programmes? I would appreciate the help since I am looking for ways to catch all the rocket's games that I can, without having to wake up 2am because of the time difference:p. Thanks

    :rolleyes:

    Yao,Yao,Yao :rolleyes:
    basketball is a team game, even in the NBA. Yao can score 50 pts, but it won't be enough if the rest of the team does not well, oo.

    Rockets SHOULD win.. I hope they do. But you can never guarantee wins with the Rockets nowadays.

    I'm predicting:
    Rox 97
    Griz 91

    Yao will get into foul trouble
    Shane will explode and start flying all over the court or.. he'll start missing his old team and start crying midgame
    TMac will be subpar again dishing shots rather than taking

    What I want to see:
    *3 pt contest between M.Miller and Novak
    *Rafer all over the floor with his and1 moves and not getting called for traveling
    *Mutombo jumping high to block a Gay dunk and 'accidentally' elbow Gay's face on the way down
    *Mutombo accidentally elbowing a ref or more on the way down after blocking more of Gay's dunks, knocking the refs unconscious and forcing them to retire, also allowing better refs to be hired
    *V-Span Playing for more than 5 minutes with NO turnovers

    Tmac's breakout game. His first preseason game was good against memphis and this one will be too. Besides, Nemphis is a little scrubby right now without Gasol and Rudy Gay is playing pretty bad so really this is the best chance for Tmac to get his confidence back.

    30+ for Tmac
    Nice showing by Yao
    Battier dunks on Gay :cool:
