    I have a bad feeling about tonight's game, especially with the refs calling the game more tightly due to complains from P. Jackson. But you get to have faith, right?

    So a Rockets win, Shaq will shoot FT 4/20, Cato will knock Bryant out for the season, Karla will suffer another injury, Payton will leave the game again during the 2nd half.

    Rockets: 92--89 Lakers

    Rockets will win.

    Kobe will go off, but that's it.

    I have a good feeling about tonight's game. I guarantee a win. We will get a big lead, Lakers will come back but it won't be enough. Steve and Cat will have big games. Cat will be on fire. Yao will have a decent game too.

    Rockets: 94
    Lakers: 89

    Unfortunately.....I think Yao is done...we can rely on hime getting his 10 and 10 but thats it. If we win any of the games it is going to have to depend on the scoring of everyone else. Believe me I hope I am wrong. But I see a timid Yao that seems to be lost in the realm of the playoff atmosphere. If Stevie calms down and becomes the Stevie of old....that combined with our stellar defense we can pull some games out maybe even the series. But dont look for Yao to have a breakout game...its just not going to happen.

    And Im not going to predict a win or a loss...there is just no way to know. One way or another we will all be crying at about 12 am tonight

    I feel tonights game will be just as close as Saturday night, but the difference will come when Mo T is matched up w/ Malone. Mo's early foul trouble is what hurt us offensively Sat. He is usually the guy who bring us O when Yao is on the bench. Plus Malone simply can't guard him with that ankle injury.

    I predict tonight the same amount of TO from the Rockets(because hey it hasn't changed all year). Yao to be more involved offensively causing early foul trouble on Shaq. Shaq being himself offensively getting Yao in foul trouble. Kobe will shoot better from the field, but jack up more bad shots late in the 4th (much like game 1). Allowing the Rockets to capitalize on the mistakes.

    Today is my birthday, all I want for my birthday is a Rocket W. That is it, no money, no cake, not that piece of ass my girlfriend promised me. All I want is the Rockets to win Game 2 tonight. The rest is garbage!

    Overall, Game 1 was a great game from my opinions.
    Mobley did great against Kobe, Kobe got owned.
    Yao did just ok, he could be better, I hope he is tonight.
    Francis did better than all season long I think.

    Anyway, stop hating on our players, let's just hope that they are going to play well against the lakers tonight, they are humans too, just like us.

    The Lakers just kept up at our pace, they are not a bad team after all, come on, it's playoff! It's not supposed to be an easy game.

    Anyway, we are Rockets Fans...so go Rockets!
    Let's win it tonight!

    I had a dream last night that the Rockets won this game. I can't remember the score, but I remember that we won. I'm basing my prediction on my dream.

    Yeah I agree, Yao's done. Saturday's game reminds me of that game last year where Shaq had 39 and Yao was just exhausted. He wasn't the same after that at all.

    Yao can probably box Shaq out and defend Shaq with help, but he's not going mano a mano in the block. That would be foolish.

    I never thought I would say this, but the Steve/Cuttino iso ball plus defense may win us the series.

    Rox should win this.

    I am very disappointed with JVG if they don't. Lakers are messed up. Rox have the atheletes here. Use them!

    The Laker bias is already in effect with the commentary. Lakers defense shut down the Rockets but the Rockets defense had nothing to do with the Lakers big 4 playing almost non existent with the exception of Shaq, who was held under control for the final 3 quarters. God I hate the Lakers.
