    Maybe now the Rockets have a "game" to play. Until recently they couldn't play "their game" because they didn't have one. They appear to be jelling a bit, Yao needs to continue splitting the defenders and going to the line. Hopefully, the improved shooting can continue. To lose this one would be so discouraging.

    Lets blow them out tonight. I think we should try to limit Yaos minutes a little more this game if we are playing well, early. Keep him rested for tomorrow nights game.

    Dream scores 40 and Chucky Brown gets 10 rebounds coming off the bench.

    This time we can have Battier and Ron Ron on the court at the same time! Both of them will be shut down.

    I am a little bit worried about Mayo and Gay. One thing, for me May looks SELFISH.

    I know he will score something around 20-25 points, but against Artest and Shane he will do that on 30 attempts. And I am ok with that. Hopefully Yao will take Darko back to school.

    Hope to see good games from the bench and Rafer. Ron also gotta step up. His inside game looked better against Warriors but they play no D.

    Am I the only person that thought of the scene where Lou Gossett Jr. trashes the new recruits?

    [edit] oh....Go Rockets. Win by 17pts.

    Yao ming hits a buzzer beater to give the rockets 3 straight wins. Offense will become stagnate again. Yao will only take 6-8 shots tonight, while artest shoots 35% tonight as he continues to take wild 3's. Battier and the rest of the crew cools off from 3pt land. We back down to earth. Final score rockets 90 - 89 grizz.

    Battier and Artest will kill Gay and Mayo.

    I wouldn't even want the game to come down to this. Chances are Yao does a turnaround shot gets fouled but the refs do not call it. :( . With Battier back he guards O.J Artest guards Rudy and this should be a victory. Hopefully. This game can be a Pacer game part 2. Rafer please show up and don't let this hot shooting touch be a fluke :mad: :( :mad: :(

    ROCKETS WIN

    Judging by Rafer's record, it's safe to say his streak of shooting over 40% is definitely a fluke... Let's just hope he averages 8-9 shots per game the rest of the season rather than 11.

    well i don't know...

    the reason he was struggling earlier is because he as well came of off quite extensive surgery on his ankle.
