for some reason we're only favored by -1.5 in this game. i have a feeling we're going to come out somewhat flat.

 

Just attack the rim, bargnani is like fricken 5 seconds slower than everyone on help defence lol

Is hayes going to check bosh? or barg? personally id rather have him on bosh since bosh is a P*ssy and hayes is going to push him all the way to the 3 point line

 

hope the best for the rockets although from previous meetings in toronto houston has not been so hot, Im excited since its the one time a year i get to see the rockets live...the downfall to living in toronto.

 

You need to grow up. When you do, give me a cent or two.

 

Another W for my Rockets will make the day even better!

Brooks and Landry should abuse their soft interior with hard penetration and quick blasts to the rim.

 

did you do that on purpose?

 

what are you so pissed about? Do you not watch how the raptors play, because ive been following them all season long. and their defficiency on D is too clear, especially Bargnani's help d, which usually comes when the opposing team already made the layup

 

You talk about D and then say stupid things like this:

Bosh is one of the talented forwards offensively. Put him on the 3pt line and watch him burn you! Please think before you say such things!

 

^ most talented*

sorry, spelling error.

 

They lack a big time defender in the Middle. If they somehow trade for a good defender in the middle with lets say, AB for Camby. They will be much better off. They have too many good outside shooters and u won't win any ball game shooting jumpers all night.
I honestly thought that AB is used in the wrong way because he's such a gifted PF offensively. (although he can't defend for crap but that can develop later). He is like a poor man Dirk but unlike Dirk, it doesn't seem like he's improving as a player. If they somehow get Camby back on their team by trading AB and fillers, they can be a really good on eastern conference. (i think the Raptors are the team that drated Camby if i remember correctly? That's the year when he sucked on A.I.'s nutz right?)

 

Anyway, i kinda expect us to shoot over 50% this game from bottom up simply because
1.) raptors' in a slump
2.) they are soft in the middle. (yes bosh's soft too)
3.) they are lack buster when it comes to mental.
4.) Kyle alone has more heart than their whole team.
5.) 14-9 baby!!

 

So you typically have games at 1:30 AM! That sucks. I was complaining cause I had to watch most games start at 11:30 PM...

Rox win 110-99

 

man this game is early! I live on the west coast so it's gonna be a 930 am start for me. I haven't watched the last two rockets games due to school finals. Woke up early just to satisfy my rockets fix. lol

 

It's kinda like football... they like to get their games done early on Sundays. They may have more attendance as opposed to a night game because Monday is usually a work day along with a school day for children. I think that's the main thing.

 

i kinda worry about this game, we tend to play bad when going against bad team.

 

Is McGrady playing?

 

watching Liverpool vs Arsenal and this game together :grin:

 

We have severe matchup problems inside and they can't D up with us on the primeter. I see this being a high scoring (and close) contest.

 

Jose Calderon Is not going to play
