    btw, id like to point out i watched every game from start to finish with von wafer starting. however, i'll probably not tune in for this game since i already know what's going to happen:

    t-mac hold the ball hold the ball hold the ball shoot -- CLANK

    artest dribble dribble dribble shoot -- CLANK

    rafer running on fast breaks only to see t-mac jogging slowly behind him.

    MMM...76ers have been playing pretty good ball lately. Rafer will not stop Miller and Iggy will have a pretty good game (he has been playing very well). If are big boy Yao is playing i think we have a better chance. Limit Tmac mins and let Wafer get some action.

    So im saying with Yao we have a better chance 105-89 ...without him...
    Rockets fall short... 101-97.

    Right now we see how important Yao's to this team and I'm still optimistic about the near future of what this team would do.

    Tonight's game against the Eastern uprising star Iggy's 76ers,I doubt if we could pull out a win in the final second if we continue to be SELFISH and don't even bother to share the ball with each other.And Yao's a big factor to us,if he plays,the chances are higher than that without him on the floor.

    Hope what Rafer said in public will stimulate 'em and accerlerate 'em to the dream land.Rockets 101-95.BTW,it would be a close game,we need to be focused on the game,no distraction anymore.I'm hopeful that they won't play so much ISO any longer.If that happens,we're gonna be flatten.

    Oh, I will go to work so I will miss the game.
    But I will watch the video without knowing the result tomorrow.
    GO GO GO Yao Ming.
    I have extreme feelling that Rockets will show us a pretty performance.

    If no Yao, Rockets will get blown out.

    Anything other than a win is not acceptable.
    Hope Wafer/Yao/Scola would start. Hope to see Deke's minutes.
    Go Rockets!!

    You may argue this team is not able to get beyond 2nd round in playoff w/o Yao, but you have to live with the fact: this team always can play in a decent way because Scola/Wafer/Artest/Landry are mentally tough players! Therefore, "blown out" seems a joke to me.

    I am not arguing that Wafer, Scola, and Landry aren't going to try their hardest. Its just the fact that Artest and Grady will blow the game cus they'll be the ones not passing it to Scola, Wafer, and Landry.

    I can agree with it, but not in 100%.

    Maybe Philly is too quick/athletic for Yao, but if we can win, we need to have him being agressive.

    But even with Yao, if other players will still stand and enjoy the game, sometimes jacking up jumpers, we will get blown out as well.

    I hope Mcgrady Posterizes/Tea Bags someone with a NASTY dunk and as a result boosts his confidence.

    Yeah, T-Mac will go 2 for 20 from a foot inside the three point line and guarantee the 'Sixers a win.
