    really hard game. ROX look so so so tired and almost out of gas. We are not playing good D except solid inside-D by DEKE and YAO.

    Gotta win this one. Yao has to dominate like the second game. Phx plays no defense so IF Yao dominates, rox win.

    A loss.

    Tempo control is vital to beat the Suns, but we don't have anyone capable of doing that on offense; we are too old & tired right now to control the tempo on defense.

    Let's face it, the Suns are the better team. They are faster, stronger, and more athletic (which I think is the same thing as faster and stronger). Ming has to have a huge game for us to win, which seldom happens. Three All-Stars to two and a better supporting cast. Since the Rockets seem to have no home court advantage, I will be shocked to see them win. The Rockets look like they are running on fumes.

    Too much drama, they should have the playoffs wrapped up, but they don't. This is where all those "dumb" losses come back to bite you. Two straight wins by the Bobcats is shameful, the NO loss is ridiculous, and even the Alanta loss my haunt the team. All they can do is win and hope for the best, but their situation is hardly secure. It is usually the team that is "on a roll" come playoff time that makes some noise. That does not describe the "walking wounded" Rockets.

    Hopfully my warrior team will give some trouble to the suns tonite. Warriors are Looking for win 8 in a row and will play hard for sure. It will be back to back for Suns and hope that will help us a little bit.

    Tonight is huge for us. Miami at Memphis, Nuggets at Minisoda....

    Foul Shawn Marion out in the first period, better yet just tell Sura to push him and yell at him until they get in a fight and both get ejected.

    Then I will pick the Rockets by 5

    I don't know if they will still be stubborn enough to play Amare against Yao one on one. Hopefully they will so Yao will have a field day again. :)

    I have the feeling that they will use Matrix to front Yao.
