    Third!! I hope Tracy can come back and play in this game. We sure as heck are going to need him. It scares the bejeezuz outta me to think about what Parker will do to us..BUT!, Rockets still win 90-83!

    Be realistic - this game will hopefully go at least as well as the most recent Suns game - we stick it to em in the first half, keep it close through three, but the superior team pulls away in the end.

    Now, having said that, nothing would be sweeter than us going in there and punking those guys on their home floor.

    Heck, with Yao all of a sudden channelling Wilt, maybe we have a shot. Perhaps it all depends on whether TMac can go, and do well.

    Either way, this game should be a pretty good barometer of exactly where this team is at.

    This is not a must win game for us to make the PO push. Realistically, since it is looking more and more likely that TMac will miss lots of the remaining games due to his back problem, we are likely to miss the playoffs this year. The best we can hope that that Yao develops a killer instinct from the remaining 20 games. Next season, with a monster in Yao and a healthy TMac, we should tear the league upside down.

    I am within top ten! :)
    If all team members play like 4th quarter in last two games, we will win. And Yao Ming keep his 30+10+.
    Go Rocket

    Still top ten, no bad.

    I am worried, whether Yao can do it alone.

    Spurs don't scare me as much as the Suns.

    Definitely winnable and even without Tmac we still a decent chance to pull this one out.

    Rockets 92
    Spurs 88

    I will still say, the key to win is our guards to hit their shots, at least open shots. Don't hesitate to shot when you wide open follow your instinct and hit it.

    Tmac, Houston need you.

    Go Rockets. No matter the results if you guys fight hard, we will support you.

    And you are complaining :rolleyes: The Spurs will play two games (PHO and LAL) before then. That'll allow Yao more time to rest and review game videos :cool: Seriously all of the guys needed a breather right now. The BIG game can't come at a better time :)

    No Tracy, less chance to get a roll.
    Yao might get good numbers but he couldn't handle the spurs one handed.

    Not a must win, but being on national TV and on the road against defending champion, a great time to earn respect outside us fans. Go Rockets!

    This one is up early.

    Guys, please keep it under 5 pages before game starts. The rockets has not win a single game when the game thread explode to 5 plus pages before the game starts.

    Thank y'all.
