Ewing will make the difference in this one: he will trip Shaq from the bench. Shaq will fall on Kobe and Gary and Malone will stumble over them. Then the Rockets will win over the Laker's bench. Brilliant move by JVG to bring back Ewing at this critical time.
Yao will finally have his truly dominating (breakout) game. Rox win 120 - 89 Yao 55pts/22rebs/10blks SF3 22pts/11rebs/14assists Time for the two headed monster of Yao and SF3 to take on the Fakers. J
This is of course wishfull thinking my fried! This is in the future when we get a Playmaker Point Guard.
Rockets:97 Lakers: 93 Steve Francis drops 50 points, 4 rebs, 6 assists, 2 steals and 6 turnovers. Yao will get 23 points and 11 rebs.
I saw the lakes jazz game a few nights ago and the lakes didn't look too dominating, although they also looked like they didn't take the jazz very seriously. We have a chance if we share the ball and Cat plays kobe tough. I don't think GP can keep up with steve but i'm not sure what he would have to keep up with .
