    The Rockets will come through in the spot light.

    Yao is the man, and Steve shows he can take over a game!

    Seriously, we lose by 20+ pts.

    Hopefully, the Rockets were just looking past the Pacer game to the Laker game, and we not as bad as the team that showed up last night. And hopefully, they'll be over the flu.

    The team winning the first quarter wins the game. IIRC, Rox are 11-2 when ahead after Q1 and the Lakers have been outscored in Q4 in SIX consecutive games.

    The Rockets also have an strong winning percentage when scoring over 80 points....first one to 84 wins.

    Christmas game wishes:

    1) Rockets win
    2) Mobley/JJ accidentally elbows kobe while "creating" some space
    3) Motay/cato accidentally elbows malone while diving for a loose ball near lakers bench
    3) Yao dunks on shaq
    4) Moochie dunks on shaq and then shaq announces his retirement after the game :D

    I have only one wish for this Christmas: Rox surpass record low 66 points against LA tomorrow. Oh, maybe one more, Yao can still get out of Staple Center on his own feet.

    Malone is out, we have a chance.

    Cuttino has shown that he can hold Kobe decently, so can JJ.

    Yao and Cato can contain Shaq.

    If everyone holds their assignments we wil have a good shot to win if MoTay can get into double figures and Steve can keep Payton in check by getting some assists.

    Steve goes off for 40 pts, 3 assists, 6 rebounds, the only Rocket in double figures.

    Yao with 10 pts, 7 rebounds, 1 assist, 5 fouls.

    Rockets lose 95-70.

    Maybe I am a little bit too permissive. But I believe until Yao figures out how to SCORE over double team (which may never happen), not just pass out of double team, and our shooters figure out how to shoot, we are going nowhere. Still I want Rox to beat LA tomorrow. You can only beat LA offensively, so score will be high, IF we win:

    ROX, 101
    Fakers, 99

    What a back to back, Lakers and Denver.

    Denver play great ball right now and even we own their number, it is tough to face them after the Laker game.

    Last year when we played Laker, win or lose, will be followed big a big losing streak. Hope this will no happen again.

    Laker 108

    Rox 88

    A big loss and Rox get embarrassed in National TV.

    Audio Link


    570 KLAC

    I tested this one earlier in the season and it worked so hopefully it still does.


    ***********Because of the NBA restriction you may need to log on to their online streaming at least 30 minutes before the start of the game.**********

    Hope it helps.

    Make it 11 points :D

    Actually, i think Yao has been playing like crap lately because he's mind was on the matchup with Shaq...well at least i hope that was the case, and he's saving his best game for tonight...
