Janet Jackson will be invited to sing at the Superbowl before Steve ever has a decent game against the Spurs. San Antonio - 172 Rockets - 0 First shutout in NBA history...
I predict that Steve gets into another pi$$ing contest with Parker and forgets that there are 4 other players on the Floor, Hence the Lost
I agree with those who said we dont win unless Yao does his thing. If Yao gets his a$$ handed to him like he has the past four-five games, we lose bad and Steve gets blamed...
Starting lineup No. Player Pos. Ht. 12 Bruce Bowen F 6-7 21 Tim Duncan F 7-0 8 Rasho Nesterovic C 7-0 14 Hedo Turkoglu F/G 6-10 9 Tony Parker G 6-2 No. Player Pos. Ht. Yrs. 21 Jim Jackson F 6-6 13 Kelvin Cato F 6-11 11 Yao Ming C 7-6 5 Cuttino Mobley G 6-4 3 Steve Francis G 6-3 Like with Kings - until Yao learns how to take advantage of his height - Rox don't match up well with Spurs. No amount of passing will change that - Rox just don't have size to go up against the premier west teams. Attitude can overcome height - a al Barkley - but Rox are also a long way from having the right on-court demeanor and remain a relatively weak offensive rebounding team. Player that could impact that the most - seems like the most unlikely to bring it - Yao - at this time. Since both teams are tough defensively - I say turnovers, free throws and offensive rebounding decide this game.
Rox 77:85 Spurs Rocets never win against Spurs... Especially, they will fall down in 4th quater again. (they might win if they win over 20 points before 4th quater. In that case, the game will be finished as rockets defeat spurs by 4~5 points.)
Is it more fashionable to predict a boneheaded game by Francis or a disappearing act from Yao these days?
I'm glad the next two games are on National TV, as they seem to step it up...To go into the break with these two wins would be huge.... Rox: 89 Spurs: 88
Okay mates, for some reason, this is bothering me. "Lost", is past tense. For example, tomorrow we will be saying: "the Rockets LOST to the Spurs yesterday." This game will be a LOSS, not a LOST. Also, "the Rockets will LOSE the game," not "the Rockets will LOSS the game." If you're going to predict a loss, do it the right way.
If I had to bet money on the game, I'll go Spurs but since I spent my paycheck on my Valentine I'll put my virtual money on the Rockets
Look out for me My friends and I will be in section 125 row 30 near the Spurs' bench in our oldschool Rocket jerseys. Maybe they'll put us on tv
if the rockets stay close and hit thier freethrows... they win francis must drive in to keep the defense guessing
No, only on TNT. I think that Rox is going to win the game. Yao could show up today because of the home game. ::
Rocks 90, Spurs 80. Francis continues his great play of late. Yao gets his metaphorical ass handed to him again but manages to grab some offensive boards.
