The only thing I'm worried about is Yao's foul trouble..if he can stay consistant and play w/o fouling for most of the game then this game should be a lock.. we need Yao to stay in the paint to stop penetration from the likes of Bibby. The Kings have 2 good shooters in Peja and Cat so we need to play similar to how we played in Phoenix
there is no way sac can beat us. if we don't have a letdown then they simply don't have the manpower to match THE MACHINE. this is a character game, a test of hunger over complaceny. i say we're gonna whip their ass. go rox!
Rockets win with another offensive explosion. Houston 115 Sacremento 105 Yao 20 points, 12 rebounds McGrady 32 points, 6 assists Sura 10 points, 10 rebounds.
I have a lot of confidence that we can beat this team. The only thing that worriesd me is that since Skinner will be the starter, the Kings might decide to front Yao instead. TMac is the MVP on this team but Yao's performance is often what dictates victory or defeat for us. If he gets taken out of the game by Skinner's fronting, then we couold be looking at a long game. Despite that, this is the most confident I've felt in a long time. Rockets 110 Kings 101 Yao (no prediction since I dont know how he will fare against the fronting defense) Tmac 35 pts, 7 rebounds 6 assists
Fronting defense isn't a problem anymore. When they front Yao he simply comes out to set a pick and many times he has gotten position again without being fronted. I laugh when they front Yao now.
is the chatroom openning? when I click the connect button, the response is: connection to irc.webmaster.com closed.
I'm glad. I love Yao's attitude lately, he's slowly becoming my favorite player of all time, but dammit, they need to go to him more.
