    We are playing a team who can't score and who has great defense. Should be a close one. Rockets 167 Pistons 49

    I just hope we don't have a repeat of that game last season where they trashed us so bad that they put DARKO in the game.

    I dunno....I hope we pull it together.......I think we will and get a win but all we can do is wait in see if we show up to play or not. I think T-mac will have a good game and so will Jimmy

    Time to get back to the Rockets Life.

    The last 7 NBA Champions had a 6-1 record in the first game of the following season... but I say the Rockets will win this game

    Yao update
    Yao Ming was held out of contact in Sunday's practice but said his hyperextended left elbow had improved and that he expected to return to practice today and play against the Pistons in Tuesday's opener.

    "I'm much better," Yao said. "It's just a little sore, but that's it."

    Yao suffered a slight ligament tear against the Spurs on Wednesday and missed Thursday's game against the Nuggets. He practiced with a protective sleeve but only went through drills and a long individual workout after the team's practice.

    But Yao and Rockets coach Jeff Van Gundy said Yao needs the full-team practice to be at his best.

    "Yao needs to grind it out every day," Van Gundy said. "He's not great at responding in games to days off. He needs to be in the fight, especially when you're going up against the best frontline in the league."

    Yao agreed.

    "To not be able to participate in all of the practice, you do lose a little time," he said. "No matter how much I run and work, if I'm, not participating in every part of the team practice, I do feel like there is a loss there."
