    I hope Yao puts up 40/20 before going into the playoffs. This is his chance - against 20 year olds.

    Yao-23 points
    Landry & Wafer- Combine 24 points
    Ron-......14 points if he has 40 attempts lol or 12 points if he passes and let his team work with him
    AB- 15 points

    The biggest concern for the road trip is stay on the grind. Honestly we should be ahead of the Spurs if we had the finished games that we were winning. And the Kings & Warriors have nothing to lose, so man its going to be hard. And yet I'm still ready already got my A & B games for the playoffs.

    LUIS- Going crazy for another double double even though he's been keep to just below that mark the past couple of games and have him putting up 12 to 13 points and 11 rebounds

    I think K.martin is injuierd. keys to a win:

    . keep a slow pace and not get into sacramento's high pace and offinsive game

    . Artest controling his shot selection

    . Yoa having more than 5 assists takin advantage of the double team.

    Remember earlier in the season when we were dropping games like this left and right. I remember hearing at one point that we had lost to every last place team in the league (division-wise). While those do sting now, because they surely cost us the 2 seed, if is so nice to see a Rockets team disposing of the ugly teams. It is absolutely invaluble to be able to sit Yao's giant butt down for an entire quarter...not to mention Ron's ankle and Shane's leg...oh, and Carl's GUNSHOT wound. (Seriously? What the heck was Carl doing out at that time of night?)

    Biggest way we have improved since TMac fell terminally ill? We kill the crappy teams now. (One exception was our 4th quarter collapse against the Bulls...but one could argue that they are in fact a playoff team...technically speaking).

    I see us winning by 17 after the 3rd quarter, pulling the starters with 6 mins left in the 4th. Rockets win 99-87.

    Carl Landry has an "I'm back" game.

    Go take care of business, Rockets!

    This kings teams have been in some close games
    Their record may be poor, but they don't have as many players with attitude problems as the Clippers do (and Clippers pulled one from us :( )

    I hope Yao and everyone can get some rest, but they will be in a heck of fight
