    Let the nail biting begin!

    The Rockets lose Game 1. The Rockets WIN Game 2. The Rockets are blown out in Game 3. Choke City fears rage. Game 4 fritters away from our grasp -- and then the Rocks find their cojones to come storming back to ... win ... three ... in ... a ... row!

    Clutch City Lives!

    In a few hours, opinions won't matter. All the match-up discussions, the predictions, the team strengths and weaknesses will be lost in the dynamic of the game. That's why they play them. The team that plays the best will win. Both teams are capable of doing just that. No matter what happens, both teams have had a successful season. They have given the fans thrills and chills. This is the icing on the cake for one team or the other. But after 50+ win seasons, neither team can be called a loser.

    My biggest concern about this game is how are we going to look when they bring in Van Horn and play Dirk at the 5. When they put Dirk at the high post and have Van Horn on the perimeter and spread the floor, I think we are at our weakest and Yao is exposed.

    We cannot win this series unless Yao is able to stay out of foul trouble and contribute on the offensive end. I would look for Dallas to exploit this matchup early. Dampier and Bradley aren't gonna get it done offensively against Yao. If Yao gets Dampier in foul trouble early, I would look for Dallas to bring in Van Horn and see what happens.

    Man when will it be 4:30 Please give me something to cheer about Rocks, With Jeff's reply about practice it doesnt sound good but Jvg would never say anything good but I pray MJ Sura and Barry are on today or else Tmac is going to have to shoot lights out to keep us at bay. Go Rockets Rockets win 97-91

    I think we will win by 12-15 points but will lose game 2.
