    Let's see how the Rockets gunna perform and how our starters gonna show of their energy and concentration on the court.

    T-Mac plays or not?Is it a game time decision or what?Any update now?I bet we should keep eyes on Jermaine O'Neal and Chris Bosh,that ain't no a big deal to handle.They ain't no joke.

    Rox win,101-90.

    We haven't played well for five games in a row. Let's see if this makes it six of if we can get back to playing decent basketball. If it is the former, we'll probably lose by double digits.

    As much as I hate your pessimism in your every single post, I have to agree with you there.

    1) Will Tracy play?
    2) Will Ron play?
    3) If Tracy plays, will we see T-MAC or just McGrady scoring 10 points on 30% fs?

    Those are 3 main questions before EVERY SINGLE game. It is pretty frustrating...

    I just want to whoever Rox players are in the court, they display energy and intensity. No lazy players. The coach should bench those who show no interest in the game.

    Exactly. Aldelman shouldn't be afraid of sitting his starters if they play lackadaisically. Who's eager to see some Wafer? :D

    I'm down with the no lazy players idea, and I would like to see Wafer. At times he has been more energetic than anyone, maybe next to Scola. Honestly, I would rather see losses with players competing at a high level than watching a bunch of lazy slackers eking out an ugly victory. Ultimately, you have to win the games, but the "spirit" of the game is very important.

    I think Tracy is going to play in this one. Rick's mindset has to be on winning the games that we have a legit chance in competing in, despite the injuries.

    That being said, I don't think Tracy will play in the Boston game. ;)

    I am of the opinion, knowing Tracy, that he would rather not make the trip to Canada and would be better off facing off against Joe Johnson tomorrow night in the ATL...

    The rockets have played lousy offense the last five games particularly in the fourth quarter. Lets hope they can atleast score a hundred and hold the raptors to a low score.

    If mac plays:

    I wan't Tracy to stop being a ball stopper--move the ball immediately or drive/shoot. Don't start directing traffic like a point forward or try to go iso on someone only to half-heartedly dribble once or twice back it out and PASS :mad:

    the inconsistency of this team, especially offensively, is just scary...
