    every ounce of logic says they should lose.


    SEcond end of a back to back, coming off a loss, Tmac out, thin air in Denver, Denver SHOULD run us out of the building.


    But the rox fan inside me still thinks we can win.



    PS. Shane Battier will piss you off more then ever tonight.

    We can win this game, it'll be tough though, as Denver is fast and can score. But my gut is telling Yao will have a good game and that everyone will step up tonight. IMO, Tracie in general brings this team down. Go Rockets!!

    I think we've got a good chance to win tonight. Denver typically doesn't front Yao, which is always good news.

    So basically, what we all knew is actually the case...Yao has to step up.

    So far this season Yao hasn't shown any interest in having a breakout game! So far he seems to be trying to change his name from Ming to Vlade rather than trying to become a great scorer. Is it him, or is it the Coach? :p

    It'll be good if the team can play together and gel without TMac, and then he can be reintegrated back into the team, since he takes up the offensive games of 4 or 5 guys...

    So is Tmac a game time decision or what? What are they saying in Houston? I'm in for a long night at the Pepsi Center, and I might slap the next Nugget fan who claims Camby is better than Yao.

    It's coach for sure. If coach wants Vlade so badly, why not just sign the real Vlade, and ship Yao to other team.

    I think it's kind of good that T-mac most likely won't play in this one, the role players might gain some more confidence, and remember...the rockets blew this team out on the second end of a back to back last time, granted t-mac and yao both had good nights and it was at home, and we also nearly beat the Spurs without tmac too

    Without T-Mac, Rockets lose by 15. With T-Mac, we lose by 5. We are going to get completely burned by Iverson, sorry.

    The rockets better win today. I hope T-mac plays because the rockets can't do anything without him. If he doesn't play Yao and Bonzi have to have really good games for us to win.

    Well...maybe we win this one, AI is turnover prone. By the way, is anyone else here REALLY sick of T-Mac like I am? :(

    A win with healthy T-mac and a lose without T-mac.

    So, I predict a lose becuz T-mac wont play.

    Denver by 15 points
