    U made your point. I agree. It does matter how it happens since I ve never complained even if we'd lost last game against Denver. Just one more point. Not only the offense , but also the defense we need to execute consistently tough. But with AD still in charge and still ongoing chemical reactin inside of the team, I feel we might need a bit more time.

    This game is a challenge to Rockets especially Yao. This is his 4th game in five days. And he played tons of minutes in the first two games.

    I'm going to stick with my pick made a few weeks ago. I think the Rockets revert to ugly ball again after a tremendous performance the night before.

    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 (predicted L; tough loss, make FTs and we win; however, ...)
    Chicago W (predicted W; bench played remarkably well; AB wins his job?)
    ============================
    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)

    If we want to win, let's hope that:

    The starting lineup changed (but it won't!)
    Wafer plays less than 35 minutes (not likely with RA as coach and not hurt)
    Tmac grows some cajones
    Yao gets angry
    Bonzi has confidence
    Scola plays more than 30 minutes
    Luther hits 2 of his first three shots
    Battier can still see out of that eye to chase Rick Hamilton around....

    if we get 75% of this, we will be in the game at the end...number 1 is already out though remember.

    I predict a win. T-Mac will be hot cuz he always play well with great defensive team. That game is going to be hard. We are away, back to back, fourth game of the last 5 days.Playing with one of the best teams in East.If we win that then, we could say that The ROckets are back.

    Looking foward to see how Brooks will play against a great defensive team.

    ROckets by 5 points.

    I agree. For the first time in weeks, the Rockets have generated a bit of excitement.

    last game vs. detroit we won

    but we got really lucky.

    we gotta come out really strong

    cuz detroit beat boston and boston was supossably the best team in the nba. if we play like we played last night, attacked and hit free throws and played good defense, we have a good chance.

    hopefully a win

    GOOD LUCK ROCKETS
