    1) Execute in the 4th quarter.
    2) Get Yao involved early and aggressively.
    3) Role players have to hit open jumpers
    4) Tmac has to be PRODUCTIVE in the 4th quarter during MONEY TIME.

    Go Rockets!

    A must win game. In the 4th quart, give ball to Yao & T-mac. Have a lead in 1 st quart.

    They need to come out in this game and get a big lead quick and not look back...that's the only way to take their fans out of it and come out with a win....we have to make sure we aren't denied this game....

    Role players have to step up in order to compete again in this series.

    Sura, Barry, James, and Wesley did jack yesterday. It's up to them.

    Well, we're on the road so hopefully the Rockets don't look like a bunch of nervous rookies out there when it's crunch time.

    Somehow I dont see game 5 being a close game like the last 4
    The Rockets are pissed off and will do everything in their will not to loose 3 in a row. I see a blow out - Rockets by 18 - 24 pts..

    Then again it could be a blow out the other way. Hopefully its the Mavs who will be blown out of their arena again.

    GET YAO THE BALL !!! IF the Rockets do this early and often then they will win the game. If T-mac has to do it all by himself he might be too tired coem crunch time. I predict that Yao will come out aggressive and the role players will not only hit their shots but also play alot smarter. Rockets will hold another 6 point lead in the 4th quarter but this time they will hold on for the win.

    Rockets 103
    Floppers 96

    Who the hell knows? If Mark Cuban and the refs allow Yao to play, the Rockets can easily get this game.

    Damn refs. I hope the Rockets are not just sitting back and hoping for the best. They better be flooding the commissioners office with tapes and letters that show how biased and unfair the officiating is.
