    It must be a winnnnn...
    If they cant win
    Ask all the starter to clean the Toyota floor..
    Send all the bench to social work
    Ask all the rookies to sing again
    And... ask RA to give us a free ticket

    Sure, howard is far better lolz.

    Yao is just an oldschool center without the ability to run fast enough, do power moves to the basket like shaq, just a same ol' hook shots.

    Even shaq with his huge body used to do insane allyoops when he was younger..

    2 of our stars, arent going to get anywhere in thier carreers. Trade that crap for something worthy, I had give yao and mcgrady for one kobe :p

    How fast do you expect a 7'6 with one of the heavies weight in the league to run?

    YAO can only hook shot? What about his spin moves and fade away jumpers?

    Please don't compare YAO with the Best center in NBA history. Shaq is unique and YAO has his own advantages even though he is not as good. At least, he has proved himself to be one of the biggest thread in the interior offense.

    Your post only makes you look ignorant...

    You should be banned so bad...

    If you don't have nothing to say then just browse other people's posts. Why spend time ruining the layout of the forum and annoying others...

    Without TMac, I predict another loss. The Rockets will play hard all game, but lose at the end like the Boston game.

    I predict another moral victory regardless of the outcome.

    Damn, Howard is going to tear it up again. He is a beast. :(

    Man I wish Howard was our Center.

    Keys to win:

    - Start Bonzi, not Head.
    - Play Head 15-20 mins to minimize his mistakes.
    - Dont play Head in final 8 mins.

    God I hope they win. They need it. But I'm not afraid of Howard. I'm more afraid of Turkoglu, Lewis and Luther Head starting or finishing the fourth.

    If we can pull a W here, we can easily go for a solid run vs. Wizards and Knicks which will allow Houston Rockets to get their overall back.

    We go as far as Yao takes us. If T-Mac can lead us, I don't see why Yao can't lead us to some victories. Hell, he even has a better supporting cast.

    Yao will own howard in half-court game. Currently only Shaq is strong enough to be one-on-one with Yao offensively and defensively on low post.

    Do you remember Yao blocked 4-5 shots of Amare and Eddie in one game? If they challenge one-on-one on low post, they are done. Yao can defend them very well. When the opposite centers stay outside or in a run-and-gun mode, Yao's defense has trouble.

    Rockets, slow down. Let DH embrass himself.

    I think Yao will be denied the ball inside causing us a lot of trouble, and then he will have a lot of trouble scoring against Howard, the key will be for me to understand how to play the post with Scola sometimes and play Yao-Scola together so that Yao is not constantly doubled.

    Agreed. Hayes is pretty much useless without Tmac. I want to see Scola more tonight. He is a very smart defender and can shoot outside jumper.

    I'm feeling a win...They showed some heart and cohesiveness against the Celtics and I think we are about to go on a W streak...Once Tmac makes it back we will lose a game or two then go on another streak. I've been one to bash on Tmac...but I really hope he can turn it around. If they continue playing like the other night...and we add Tmac...I don't think anyone can stop us...We will overcome.

    After the CAKE in 08!!!

    Orlando's outside shooting bothers me. If Lewis and Hedo have poor shooting games,the Rockets can win.
