    JVG will probably play the same mins for everyone as the last two games with spurs and mavs. Heat in the other hand, i think they are gearing up for this one and perhaps will have the starters play limited mins.

    Don't expect a huge/long mins so matchup with shaw, wade with tmac and Yao. I think Wells said he won't be ready for this game but will be with the magic. If he does, then i think JVG will play wells most mins.

    i doubt this would be a exciting matchup as this is preseason, no players wants to be injured and all playing safe. JVG will still need to play the scubs in order to determine who will stay and who will get cut.

    True...you just want to develop chemistry and see what lineups work in various situations. I expect the starters to play 30 min again and sit tomorrow night as JVG gives more time to the reserves and Bonzi to make his final cut. I would be really surprised if T-Mac and Yao play back to back meaningless games.

    Shaq will be school by Yao. D wade will get his scores on the board but will have shot challenge everytime. Heat will have heat exaustion by the end of the game because we will be running the ball everytime. In the end Rockets with a "WIN". :D

    Rockets 104
    Heat 87

    Go Rockets

    It's preseason: The only time that "It's not whether you win or lose. It's how you play the game." is really true. So, that being said, the Rockets play much more nobly than the "Never-get-offensive-fouls-called" Shaq, and "Ghost-foul" Wade.

    Rockets 115 (on 76.1 3pt shots)
    Heat 49

    Heat watches the Rockets shoot over the top of the zone from start to finish. Hooray zone.

    An obvious win for the Rockets!.. ;)

    Yao will dominate Shaq and T-mac will outscore Wade.

    Rockets are going to showcase their new and improved team on national team.. :D

    Uh, you all know Bonzi is not going to play in this game, right? And that it is doubtful that he will even play in the next one.

    Unless JVG is sending out mixed signals. I wouldn't mind seeing the guy out there sooner than later, but everything I have heard in reporting on the subject states that he won't get into tonight's game, maybe next game at the earliest.

    I am not really worried about whether we get the W or not i am just excited about finally getting to actually watch the rockets play regardless if it is pre-season or not, hopefully bonzi will finally get some time and we can see how he looks

    The game is on TNT? I guess. During the last game, Bill was saying the game will be on the national TV.

    I heard on 610 last night John Barry will be working the game.... Why would ESPN be blocked in Houston?

    All I know is Shaq better keep his big Sasquatch feet off of Yao's toe.
