    Keys to the game..........

    Keys to the game..........

    It is a given that Tracy Mcgrady is going to have 30 points 6 boards and 6 assists today, we know this.............. I think that if Yao gets 15 shots, we win easily, the Mavs have gone super small in rotation and the key to defeating that is taking the initiative to cause fouls early. I hope we go Yao and Mcgrady at Pf early, that way they are being defended by Damier/Nowitzki or Nowitzi/Howard. Mcgrady can at least penetrate on either of those 2 while Yao has been a problem for Dampier all series. Mike James has to avoid that 3/4 quart foul he takes regularly at the beginning of the 3rd (seen him do it 2-3 times this series.) I would also love to see a complete switch of strategy by JVG in bringing Mutumbo in and letting him stay deep at protection for Yao, let Yao get out and up the court a little faster and maybe get him on the fast break a time or two. JB should be on the floor a lot also, he is our most reliable shooter and Dallas knows it, he draws a lot more attention that James, Sura or Wesley I think. I hope our lineup down the stretch is Sura, Wesley, JB, Mcgrady and Yao.

    Damn right...
    Yesterday I had a feeling. The feeling was that the Rockets will win in a blow out (15 + points) and I know that the feeling was right because at the same time I was listening to the Astros game while Lamb was up to bat and I said he WILL hit a grand slam and a few pitches later my prediction came true...

    Is Sura playing? The ESPN radio station here said he had flu like symptons.

    keys to the game:

    1. Yao needs to stop fouling. I understand he gets reffed unfairly but he should stop trying to draw fouls and sometimes let the guy go instead of risking a stupid foul.
    2. Rox need to engage Yao early and often. When Yao gets the ball and is involved he plays a full/complete game.
    3. Some of the other Rox players should volunteer to take some of Yao or Tmac's fouls.
    4. 3pt defense.. we need to rotate faster and really close out on Dallas's 3 pt shooters.

    I think if we get Yao involved early we win this game and this series.

    most likely it'll be on both...nba.com and other sites won't be listing Ch. 51 because it is a local channel for us and i dont think they list local channels


    ....and rockets win the next 2 to take it in 6, Ced called it!

    Let's go Rockets! Let's go!

    I'll be watching game 4 tonight in D.C. (when I should be studying for law school finals).

    I just love this team so much! From far away, it's great to be a part of ClutchCity (ok, ok, ClutchFans), and this site is one of the things that makes it great to be a Rockets fan. True believers. It's not over.

    Game 4 is gone, man, in favor of MAVs.

    Let win the game 5 and move on.

    I still believe.

    Rocks lose by 40 points.

    Yao fouled out 15 mins into the game. T-Mac tossed after two Ts for b****ing with the refs.

    Stern gets on the PA asking rocks fans: Who is the boss?

    Now that Van Gundy called out the refs, I don't think we can win even if we shoot 60%.

    1st quarter - Mavs build lead.
    2nd quarter - Rox start run but still behind
    3rd quarter - Rox get lead
    4th quarter - Rox loses lead while Mavs get all the calls.

    Hope I'm wrong.

    thats how games 3 and 4 played out i wonder if the trend will continue for game 5.

    also i am starting to worry that the nba may be really pissed at jvg for questioning the integrity of the refs and may call a crap load of fouls against the rockets, ticky-tack ones that always are let go but they'll call them against the rockets. look for no incidental contact plays to be allowed tonight
