First... Rockets win

 

Rox win!

 

this is going to be tough.... we are 1-3 on back to back games. last game i was at the game and was realy worried when they kept those 3s. but we won and now only do i get a big mac and a mutombo bobblefinger. i expect us to lose this game close.

 

WOOHOO! TOP TEN!

Guaranteed Rockets Win!

Rockets 104 - Wizards - 72

 

no contest, Rockets win!

 

First time on the first page!!!

mindful of their past stint with back-to-back games, rockets see the flipside advantage that battier noted:
'i've been on some teams where, when you're playing really well, back to back games is an advantage because you come in on a roll'

so rockets will not have amnesia, they'll remember what stellar defense the previous nights stamped some hefty new records in the multiple franchise books, and t-mac will come out of the gates on fire.

We should not lose this game. I'm sure they know how they've been playing on the second night of back to backs, but there's no excuse.

NO ONE played big minutes against the Bobcats. This shouldn't even count as a back-to-back.

Not to mention, Washington is on a back-to-back which went down to the final minutes.

They are at home, but they had to travel home. Meaning, they have been travelling just like us.

Oh, and we're just better than them too.

We need this game, they next few are tough ones.

Rockets 95
Wizards 85

 

itll be close,rockets close em out in the 4th, 92-85

 

My prediction for the game with my own ode to Daryl Morrey statistical analysis:

Rockets Starters
Yao - 9
Hayes – 4
Battier - 5
McGrady - 8
Alston - 4
6th man
Head - 4
Bench
V-Span - 1
Mutombo – 2
Howard - 2

Wizards Starters
Thomas – 4
Jamison - 7
Butler - 7
Stevenson - 3
Arenas - 9
6th man
Daniels - 3
Bench
J. Hayes - 2
Haywood - 2
R. Mason - 1

Formula: (Starters x 2) + (6th man x 1.5) + (Bench x 1) + 3 for home court advantage + number of wins in last 10 games (momentum factor)

Rockets total: 78.0
Wizards total: 77.5 It doesn't get much closer than this!

Therefore, Rockets win.
Matador prediction record to date: 10-3

 

Gonna be a really tough game, hopefully Rox win.
B2B game, but no excuse!

 

They are 7-2 at home so it will be a tough game.

 

YES I'm goin to the game tonight!

Look for me in section 112!

Rockets win, T-Mac drops me 63 to break his career high against the Wizards.

The arena stays quiet, while me and my friend in our red T-Mac jerseys are screaming our heads off.



I'll be in 112 so look for it!

 

if rockets plays as it should, it will be an easy win!
Roxkets:94
Wizards:79

 

please take off ur all of ur clothes in order to draw our attention and easier to find u when in game...lol

 

Rox tired legs beat Wizzards tired legs: 99 : 93

 

I REALLY wish we played the Wizards FIRST, and the Bobcats on the 2nd night....

The Wizards strengths are where we are weakest.

At least they are also traveling and on the 2nd night of a back to back.

I am going to predict with my heart over my head.

Rockets 92
Wizards 89

Rockets by 12 JVG gets his message across about back to back games.

 

Never been the first page , Rox win big

 

I wana see if the ROX can come back and take this win after the horrible "back 2 back" game last time...
