    I guess both Yao and TMac would love this challenge of playing a top team. I predict we beat them in a close game:D

    I don't think I've EVER seen this much optimism for a big game on this board before.
    I'm almost starting to think they'll win myself. :D

    One quick question, now JJ is gone who will shoot the technical free throw??? By stats, Wesley has the best free throw percentage.. is it him???

    Why i asked this?? Cos i expect soemone will get a T for shoving Amare's a$$ :D

    personally, I'd let mutumbo take free throws if he was on the floor, he's automatic. with that said, wesley. I'd like to see tracy taking them someday but he's been shooting below his avg this year, for example.

    I hope Yao can outplay Amare and win the big game for us. But I think T-Mac will take most shots because he wants to donate as much money as possible.

    Ideally, both Yao and T-Mac score more than 30 points and Rockets win!:cool: :rolleyes: :eek:

    Great! Then T-Mac can focus on winning this game rather than score a lot of points by himself.

    BTW, Orlando Rockets is leading one of the best 3 teams in West - Seattle by a large margin, if a fake Rockets team can do that, why can't we beat the Suns? GO ROCKETS!:D

    They're not going to hit these threes all night... and that's the only shot the Rockets are allowing them to have (albeit, I'd like to see at least a hand in their face...)

    why are we not feeding Yao??

    Amare's already 0-5, Yao's been open with good position but he's only received the ball once and got fouled...we need to recognize our mismatches.

    Suns has so much firepower, even Yao can stop Amare, nobody can stop JJ:(

    The 3 point shooting on the Suns is just a knockout blow in the 1st round. I don't know what the Rockets can do. Wesley shot an airball, so it's not like they can outshoot them.

    If the f**king stupid Rockets think they can win the game without going to Yao, then

    150-60 by Sun!

    They are flooding the paint with defenders. Wesley is getting open shots.

    Not really...Yao has been open, the opportunities to pass to him have been there...
