Hi gus I post LP here. I was suposed to send email to you. But I am so tired today. So here is the link http://broadband.nba.com/cc/playa.p...00_nba-league_pass_houston_051201.asx&gid=137 Go Rockets!
I hope we win...but its hard to see us get the win against this team because there so fast, and our main scorer is Yao who is terribly slow against the suns...but miracles do happen...maybe rafer might actually shoot well?
Without Tracy, we have almost no chance to win this game. I'll be happy if it's close near the end and our offense looks decent.
Going to be tough out here in Phoenix for me. Going to a sports bar with a bunch of suns fans. Sux. No Tmac = NO WIN. Suns by 20.
Do they usually face Yao up like the Warriors? Scola 5 fouls and Chuck will get 4 trying to D Amare (aka "The Nose")
If rafer doesn't shoot, we'll have a chance. He should only shoot if it's a layup though we've seen from yesterday he can't even make those.
I predict Francis will log 0 minutes again <br> and rafer and luther will play like ****..... <br> anyone care to argue that? (dont kill me either)
I am excited to see Adelman's system against the Suns. The Rockets should have a better chance than before under JVG.
dont think we can get a W, unless YAO has a huge game with 30/35 points and 15 rebounds.... 6-5 after tonight
1 for 5 on 3 pointers. 4 for 10 overall. That would be 3 out of the other 5 shots he made. And I distinctly remember him making 3 lay-ups to start off the 4th quarter. Denial aint just a river in Egypt.
Get that stuff outta here. This thread is for doomsaying and Francis needs to play so we get a forfeit win out of the Suns talk.
I've got tickets for tonight, it's my first game of the year so hopefully that will mean good luck because we will need it. Houston 110 Phoenix 91 WE CAN WIN IF: -we force them to turn the ball over -contest all shots -get at least 10 pts from Bonzi, Shane, Mike AND Luis I don't think Yao HAS to go off like some have suggested, in fact I'll be really surprised if he does. If he can't keep up with them at this point in his career, then he never will. Come on supporting cast, we need all of you!
Phoenix will definitely run fast breaks all day, but I think with this year's squad we should definitely be able to keep up for the first time. Maybe not Yao, and I'm not suggesting we will outrun or outplay them at that style of ball because I don't think thats true. If we can stop their fast break points, and make them pay if they pull a full court press (like San Antonio did, although we didn't push the ball enough to make them pay) then we should be able to deal with the hyper-basketball style that has been such a bad matchup for this team.
