You're the one who said that if we lost tonight to the Warriors it would be the end of the season right? I think Amare has an answer waiting for him he probably doesn't even know exists... Carl Landry!
Rockets will win big because incase non of you have heard...RAJA BELL is out for the game. No one will guard tmac who will go off for 35.
funny how u see nobody can stop amare.. when i see that nobody can stop the ROCKETS ROCKETS WIN ROCKETS WIN ROCKETS WIN! LETS GO ROCKETS!
Scola embarrased Amare in Vegas. Who do they got to match up to the Rockets small line up up front? Brian Skinner? please Landry is going to have a big dunk night. My only concern really is Barbosa since Raja is not not playing. Amare might get into foul trouble and Nash turns it over alot which will translate to easy buckets. I really believe our small ball is better than theirs it was better than Golden State so i see no reason why it cant be.
after our showing against the warriors, i like our chance. it really caught me off guard when he started luther head. i almost recommend starting landry or something against PHO. i just hate that they have TWO big *****s down there. i think we can pull something off, though. i can kind of see mutombo starting again because of shaq, and it's not like shaq's gonna outrun him. i also noticed that shaq likes to get the defensive rebound and throw the baseball pass. we should be able to disrupt that. hopefully.
We know Mutombo will make Shaq work. We know Battier will be there defensively. We know T-Mac will go off. We know Landry is going to get his. We need a big game from Jackson and Scola these 2 players will be the key in this game. Jackson will have minutes matched up on Barbosa. Scola will be matched up on Amare. Alston will be on Nash. Alston needs to make Nash play defense. Houston should win this game because behind Shaq and Amare is only Marks and Skinner which Landry will destroy them. Hill will have trouble with Battier all over him. McGrady is to long for Barbosa and nobody can stop him in the post or on the perimeter.
Hey Raja Bell is not playing right, Marion is GONE so who will they put on T-Mac? I just wonder. Right now nobody can stop him so I expect another good game for him. His jumpshot last night looked really confident so I hope it will continue. We may have problem against Amare, we need to double him and don't let him have easy dunks. But I'm so glad that Landry is available again cause you just saw last night what he brings to the game. Hope Bobby will continue his best shooting the ball. Go Rockets ! 2nd in a row,
Remember that Suns does have some defense now that Shaq is here. But like what you guys are saying. Its a double edged blade. The suns have a center advantage, but we have the mcgrady advantage. Of course, Dike is the man of the year. I see him doing 360 windmill on Shaq. And doing a behind the back reverse slam dunk. We also know dike will probably go off and shoot some threes. Maybe not too many, but Dike will probably make 6 threes. Dike will also probably do some step back fade aways on shaq. Rick Adelman would probably do a hilary clinton on the refs until we win.
They're going to play Grant Hill on Tmac. GHill still has the length and athletic ability to get in Tracys grill. D'antoni won't be stupid enough to put barbosa on him cuz Tmac will just slaughter him.
Notes: Dikembe Mutombo, who had started all 12 games since Yao Ming went down with a season-ending foot injury late last month, did not play at all against the smaller Warriors. ... Stephen Jackson teamed with five-time Grammy winner John Legend to promote the Show Me Campaign, which aims to fight poverty in Africa. Jackson pledged to donate $500 for every point he scored in the game. He finished with 15, for a $7,500 contribution. Jackson plans to travel to Africa this summer. WHAT!!! DIKE IS INJURED, WHY DIDN'T ANYONE SAY IT???? DIKE IS INJURED???? THIS WAS ON THE NOTE SECTION OF THE RECAP IN NBA.COM OF THE ROCKTES VS WARRIORS
I hope we can stop Nash and probably Hill. Then we have a chance to win. Amare is only good if he get assists from Nash.
