    Here is my string of predictions.

    Toronto L (embarassing)
    Philadelphia L (hideous; Yao calls the team soft after this)
    Detriot W (predicted L and we deserved an L)
    Dallas L (predicted L; terrible loss at home)
    Orlando L (predicted L; like Detroit game, FTs and layups were horrible again)
    =================================
    Denver L
    Chicago W
    Detroit L
    Memphis W (thinking of changing this to a L because Gay will own us)
    Toronto L
    Golden State L
    Boston L
    Orlando L

    (14-19)

    I think we win this one by 5...

    Last time we played them, I said to mysel, here we have a talent-laden team who play with even less effort than the Rockets do! :D

    Brooksie will own AI...

    I think this is the game where Rick the Ruler gives free reign to Bonzi or Francis to put up any many shots as they can. Of course, this is only if T-Mac is out. We all know Yao can't carry the load by himself. Somebody is going to have to pick up T-Mac's 20+PPG for us to win tonight. I'd say I want a more well rounded scoring effort from everyone, but with the way we are shooting, it's hard to imagine that.

    We have looked dreadful without T-Mac. Mainly because we have nobody else that can create plays for themselves and others. Skip is a good passer, but he doesn't create plays. Maybe Francis can create some offense, that is if he plays.

    And Yao, please get more aggressive. He took too many mid range-long jumpers. I don't think any of them went in. There was one play where they dribbled down the clock only to get Yao a long jumper :confused: ? Last year, we did a great job of getting Yao the ball near the basket. This year, not so much.

    Loss.

    I am not joking this time... not like with the Magic game.... and I still have not forgiven the team for it.

    It's time.... for me to get way past joking.

    if t-mac is ou we still have a decent chance of winning since we play more team ball without him. bonzi should do good tonight.

    True, but we have had little success over the years. Bonzi needs to put up shots like he's back in Portland, and with Francis out, time to let James loose and let him put up some shots. We can't possibly keep shooting this bad.
