    This could turn the season around with a roxs Win. Go Chuck Hayes!

    Holy moly. I didn't know the Pistons were next on the schedule. Talk about terrible timing. I was just starting to feel good too. :(

    Well Rockets should seriously stick to their original plan with Tmac: play the guy half of the game.

    Damn before Bulls' game I had a post hoping Tmac won't play 40+ minutes. Hope this time he doesn't play more than 30 minutes! Just let the other players step up and do their thing.

    I'm not even going to try a prediction. Odds are the Pistons win... but I keep thinking about Dec. 9, 2004, as well as the fires burning in a team tired of losing...

    Well if the Rockets want to have a shot at winning this, they need to

    - Work hard at rebounding. The Pistons have this way of absolutely dominating the boards and suffocating their opponents due to too few chances to even score.

    - Defend the pick and roll. We're going to need someone to chase Rip around the court, and it better not be Wesley - otherwise he'll get his wind knocked out of him before halftime and become useless offensively. The problem we have here though is that most of our younger, quicker guards have a height disadvantage with him, T-Mac needs to guard Tayshaun Prince (and besides I wouldn't want him wasting all his energy chasing Rip around). JVG's gonna have to figure out how to contain him especially on the pick and roll.

    - Perimeter defense ... can't have Sheed getting open looks. Those would kill us.

    Rasheed Wallace
    Chauncey Billups
    Prince
    R. Hamilton
    A. McDyess?

    This one wont even be close. :(

    The Rockets will start Alston,WEsley,Tmac,Howard and Mutombo. I think we have a chance at winning if we play solid defense and put the ball in the hands of Tmac and Howard to score. I predict Rockets 103 pistons 98 Go Rockets!!!
