    I have no idea how the Rockets beat the T-Wolves, but Minnesota will make sure we know who is the superior team...

    Wouldn't Seattle actually be the start of a losing streak?

    Anyway, I'm predicting a loss to the T-Wolves and a win against Dallas (with me in attendence).

    Seriously guys. It's either a blowout either way. The Rockets don't know how to win the close game. With the game on the line, and SF not able to do his ISO, the guards are at a total loss, thus they

    turn the ball over;
    dribble and milk the clock into an ugly off balance 3 pointer.

    We won't beat these elite teams unless it's a blow out because we don't know how to play in the 4th quarter in a close game.

    Anyone think Garnett might make some kind of statement after this game to the effect of what he said after the Dallas game? Seeing as how the Rockets are currently matched up to the Wolves, you just might see something printed especially if it's a blowout. On a related note, Cuban responded to what he called "antics" and basically said "it won't be forgotten."

    Here's to hoping the Mavs blow them out and return the favor next time.

    I’m sure if it’s a blow out in the wolves favor you’ll read tons about how this maybe their year to make some noise in the playoff.

    What “antics” I’m out of the loop a little

    Make KG hit jumpers. I don't see him as being an ace marksman from the perimeter. Give Sprewell the jumper too. My feeling is that the TWolves are vulnerable if the paint is closed off.

    Wolves 91
    Rockets 81

    Wally 32pts
    KG 20/10/10


    Who the hell will defend KG or Wally?

    KG's unstoppable against comparable defenders. We have no one remotely able to contain him. Wally, like every other shooter, will burn us all day while we try to cover KG.

    Then there's Spree, Sam and Kandi to deal with.

    Just can't see us winning this one, they're too good.

    I just registered and I'm listening to it right now. The game hasn't started yet, but I assume they're going to broadcast it since they're the 'home of the Timberwolves.' Thanks for the link!

    Hell has frozen over. Steve and Yao both having big games on the same night? This is what we've all been dreaming of from the start. I hope it continues. :D

    My God what was Steve thinking holding onto the other teams rim like that? And why was he complaining about it?
