    Could Phoenix beat the Spurs too for a perfect night for the Rockets?

    would have been nice if the spurs had of lost,too, but oh well, only a half a a game. we'll get em again. I REALLY hope we run the ball this game, mcgrady or not. he needs to be out there running, too, with or without the ball. unless they decide to sit him because of the flu/knee.

    You do know the only reason Mcgrady didn't make it was becasue he miss 15 games. If he was healthy he would have been starting over AI becasue he would have got more fan votes. He was only 10,000 votes behind AI.

    True. Granger is a solid player.

    But the key matchup tomorrow will be Dunleavy vs Battier. Dunleavy is having a career year this season and would likely get Most Improved Player if the season ended today.

    If McGrady plays, he will likely cover Granger and Battier will be responsible for containing Dunleavy.

    Pacers, Bucks, T'Wolves.

    Rockets better not lose those 3 games. They need to stop playing down to their opponents. Once they get them down by 10, keep them down by 10 or more, don't give them a reason to fight back.

    Exactly the Rockets need to find a killer instinct to their game once they get a team down. Once the Rockets find it they will hard to stop.

    Pacers' backcourt is not as lethal as the Warriors' plus Tinsley is out, so not really too much to worry about. It is a good game for the Rockets to rehearse their offense against running teams.

    The Rockets *need* to go 3-0. They did what they needed to do by going 2-1 against the Jazz, Blazer and Warriors, but now they absolutely need these three games.

    We'll be alright without Tmac tonight. He can take the next 2 games off to recoup ...

    i personally think we can have hope or not for playoffs this season after this 3 games on the road......even if tmac doesn't play...we SHOULD beat these teams.. if we can't...done for the season...and plus the teams that are on top of us are falling..they ahve injured players..etc...we need to take advantage on the situation
