    4th


    I think the Roxs are gonna to be up for this game big time!

    If they play D on the 3 point line like they did in the 2nd half of last nites game then we will have a great shot of winning the game.

    I gonna say will pull the upset and win this one


    Roxs 109
    Suns 100

    if we can beat seattle we can beat the suns. hell, he held seattle to just 6 points in one qtr! if we play our game, and not let it get into a running game we will win.


    go into yao as much as possible. make it a half court game and get back on D to put a hand in everyones face. we can win!


    ROX: 109
    suns:108


    GO ROX!! EVEN THOUGH THIS GAME SCARES ME!!! :p

    A definite loss.

    Suns are much faster than Sonics, and they have more good shooters than Sonics have. Jimmy Jackson will kill us in revenge.

    119 : 90 Suns

    I didn't want to be beat as the first post, so I kept it short.

    My last two predicted losses were wins, so I predict a bad loss on Friday. Sura should be able to give Nash trouble though. Too big and too strong.

    yes I believe Sura is reactivated for this game I hope he doesnt come out rusty.

    Sura/DWes/MJames running around the perimeter putting a hand in peoples faces means alot. The Suns wont get any open looks and I can imagine us playing some zone to take away any easy looks down low.

    Feeding Yao in the post and scoring/drawing fouls will be important.

    J

    important matchups.

    DWes/MJames should be able to shut down SNash with their quickness.

    Sura/DWes should be able to put the clamps on QRich

    Sura/Tmac should be able to put the clamps on JJohnson

    Tmac/RBowen hopefully can contain SMarion.

    JHoward/Yao should be able to contain Amare inside.


    unless the refs give away the game I see the Rox blowing out the Suns.

    Rockets make a big enough statement to get Barkley's attention and shut up several more media wanna be's

    Rockets-105
    Suns- 98

    This game may be decided by the refs. If they let Yao and Deke block some shots and keep Armare away from the glass and the dunks and they don't give Nash freethrows everytime he drives then we will beat them.

    The guy we must stop is Marion. Very hard defend for Howard, look for some Bowan on Marion.

    The revenge of Jim Jackson. He is going to light us up and Yao is going to be in foul trouble helping out on Amare.

    I am on a prediction roll, so I will keep it going. My head says they will get lit up, but my heart says they will come in with "playoff" intensity and shock the Suns. Rockets in another close one. Defense will make the difference. The team finally gets the recognition they deserve. Contributing factors are that Amare just can't seem to handle Ming, Nash is not at 100%, and Sura's return may be an emotional lift. Three in a row against the NBA's elite.

    15!!! ALRIGHT!!!!

    Rockets pull out a close win in an extremely exciting high scoring game.

    (i hope - on the win, that is...don't care how high scoring it is.)

    Amare always tries hard to prove himself when playing Yao. If we utilize Yao and Yao does a good job, we'll have a good chance.

    Can't wait, this will be the first game with the final revision to this years revamped roster. Let's see where we stand against one of the top three teams in the league.

    One to watch, JJ is going to want to light us up for trading him.

    They play us on Friday, not tomorrow.

    This game should be fun. We're gonna have to play some serious transition D to have a chance in this one. I also wonder how much Sura is going to play.

    Rox: 116
    Suns: 113
