    The Suns only need to rest Barbosa for us to get the win.I hope we can get the HCA tomorrow.

    Go Rockets!

    Stop chanting for Mavs! They don't deserve it. They gave up the last game against Jazz.

    I thought we'd definitely lose to the Suns, but then the Spurs lost to Mavs today, which means the Suns have the HCA over the Spurs. I can see them resting all of their starters, so we win!

    Rockets better play, this win and they can rest before jazz game. Also Suns clinched #2 today, so this should be a rout.

    key to win
    1. Chase and D harder on their ball handler from very begaining he got the ball. Don't just run back when they got reb or throw in the ball. remember ball move always faster than player's run.

    2. Using Yao like him is Deke, don't force to pass to him, just pass ball to him when it is really good time. Never pass him in the way everyone know you will pass to him that will lead to high TO. Let Tmac handle the O.

    3. HIT OUR 3s. Come on Rafer. Using LH more.

    4. Dear Jeff: could you give JL3 or vspan some minutes when Rafer has cold hands or can not D Nash.

    one of the stupidest pieces of advice ive ever heard


    yea, go play two bad, untested young guys against the best point guard in the league....



    i predict that unless tmac hits a majority of his shots and other guys step up, we will lose, because Yao is gonna be completely nullified

    It will be rainy and stormy, the sun will be absent for a while.
    Yao will score between 10~30 points, have 3~15 rebounds and have 0~5 blocks.

    After losing to Utah at home and then the 3 game losing streak, this all feels wrong that the Rockets are gifted like this and have a chance to clinch HCA in this way.

    Playoffs start tomorrow. If the Rockets can't beat a Suns team where the starters are playing limited minutes (or aren't playing at all), they don't deserve to get out of the first round.

    Preferably, I would want to see the Rockets beat the Phoenix Suns with their full lineup but I guess beggars can't be choosers.

    I don't know if you watched our last game against phx, but JL3 defended nash better than Rafer did in the few mins that he played, so maybe you should watch some game or do some HW before YOU call someone stupid.

    It is only fair that the Suns rest their starters. Dallas did not play at full strength against Utah, so in reality we should have already secured home court without even playing this game.

    Rockets 125
    Suns 105
