    I don't care if Yao is in street clothes with a cast on his leg, just get him the DAMN BALL!

    The only possible way to win the Suns: Don't let Nash pass the ball, let him shoot.

    53% from the field
    50% from 3

    Something tells me the less this guy shoots, the better. The key is trying to keep his first pass from leading directly to a score. Force the receiver to make a play.

    The team will find a way to win.

    For 3 quarters, we matched it with Dallas.

    Just need a 4th quarter sparkplug.

    I'm almost in agreement about playing the bench more. But I believe it will encourage greater levels of bashing.

    I like the fact that T-mac has still got that ability to dominate the game, he just needs the team-mates to pick up the slack.

    I 'm afraid, you 're not wrong ... the Suns are sooooooooooo much better than Dallas! Deke or Howard can 't stop Stoudamire, Alston can 't stop Nash, ... let 's hope T-Mac scores another season high AND Bonzi plays!

    101-102 OT win for Houston or 100-77 win for the Suns ... :rolleyes:

    Let's go. Lose or win doesn't matter. Let's learn and start preparing for the post season ( yeah it's early but i think theres 99% change Rockets make the playoffs ).

    if you thought the dallas game ended badly... we match up terribly against the suns. probably will get crushed into oblivion.

    i too, hope that i am wrong.

    but this will probably be a crushing.

    Very likely a track meet; a back to back, following an emotional draining game, another huge talent gap equals, not good. I will be shocked and thrilled if the Rockets win, a TC miracle. Mutombo is not likely to play much in this one. If TMac doesn't play, brace youself for records to fall. Let's put it this way. If Rafer and Luther shoot over 50%, make all their layups, don't turn the ball over, and hit all their foul shots, the Rockets will win.

    Back to back game, against another team that pushes the tempo.

    Exhausted Rockets starters, but, we are at home.

    Rockets bounce back 97-95.

    Got to win those home games.

    (Edit) Never mind...Tmac out.....

    Phoenix will crush us....

    Phoenix 112
    Rockets 87

    Rockets will need to play the bench no matter what JVG thinks in this game playing more than 8 players is key to stay in the game.

    Rockets Win!! Rockets 100 Suns 95.

    I personally think we will get owned. The suns have proven that we aren't the right team to beat them time and time again

    Look for a Suns blowout.......if TMac doesn't play or isn't capable of playing at the top of his game and carring Rafer worthless butt, then it'll get ugly fast....they'll be looking for a reson to lay down just becuase of coming home late and being as cold as the weather outside. :(

    We are going to get blown out maybe we keep it close or lead in the third, but they will just outrun us late third and fourth.
