    III. TMac is back and rested. Rockets really need this win. The drive for five is on!

    we have to win 3 out of the last 4. might as well have one of those be a home game against a tough team. but unlikely. gotta beat denver/utah on the road...

    Me and the wife are making the drive down, section 101 seats 1-2!

    Rockets win, Shaq shows us why his last game against us was a fluke and Tracy goes off after having sometime to heal his shoulder. Scola comes up huge!

    With Tracy back in the lineup we will beat them, I hope we will. I only hope we can play defense and contain AMARE. He is our killer cause nobody can stop him. 20/20 free throws cannot happen again.

    T-Mac needs to have a big night, he is rested

    This is an important game to win if we rather match up with Utah rather than LA or SA.

    We just can't let them explode for a HUGE first quater like last time and we will be good.

    Home court is almost an impossibility if we don't win this one. The biggest game of the regular season.


    Ironically, we clinched home court a year ago at home against the Suns.

    CONTAIN STOUDAMIRE! I can't stress that enough, the guy is just playing out of his mind right now. Until just recently I've never agreed that he is better than Yao, but with his recent play, his improvement of his ouside shooting, he is the best big man in the NBA offensively.

    I'd like to see us really put the clamps on him between Hayes and Landry, I'd like to see AB take a shot at Nash for a few minutes. And I want to see 6 hard fouls from Woods. If we can avoid getting clobbered in the first quarter we should be able to pull this one out.

    If we win this one I like at chances to get the third seed, otherwise bring on the Jazz.

    You are right, damn Scola or Landry are too slow one on one with Amare. We gotta bring some helf and don't let him get easy sunks and free throws.

    As for Steve Nash I'd like to see Tract McGrady guarding him, it would slow Nash down a little bit I belive.

    We also gotta use the fack that they don't play defense. Everybody should be agressive, we have to attack the whole game.

    Clog the paint on Stoudamire. Whatever you do, do not let him catch the ball rolling to the rim.

    Must win game. The fate of 5 teams(seeds 2-6) rest on this single game.

    why you think hca will be an impossibility if we lose this one? I mean we can beat Denver, we can beat Clippers and we can beat Utah. We have 25 losses right now and the suns have 26. So you can't really said it will be over.

    Well last year's game against Suns was BIG. I remember that.

    play defense. instead of letting amare score, let o'neal score. force him to score. do not double him. his stamina is not good enough to score consistently for every quarter. just isolate shaq and let him get off. contain the others.

    rebounding, rebounding, rebounding against a team with size will be huge.

    and we must make our shots.
