    statistically they are a good defensive team. 89 ppg allowed, 415 opp fg %. and they smothered us defensively last game

    Absolutely no way we win. Yao will get chances early and get eaten up by KG's help defense. Rox will stop going to him and Cassell will eat us alive. Dude just cannot be stopped by us.

    Remember the home opener against Milwaukee and Cassell just basically annihilated Francis? Man that was possibly one of the most painful Rockets Moments in my life.....it hurted so bad....

    This record has been playing all year, and it's the same record..

    We play well, beating up on bad teams, and then BAM we run into an
    actual GOOD team, and get our butts whupped.

    Sad to say it, but we lose by 20 again.

    for the record, I hope we win though.

    We'll win this by 5. It will be close the whole way.

    As an update, the game is currently sold out with the exception of scattered single seats (no pairs together) throughout the building.

    We do have a few seats still on hold that are committed to sponsors, the league, etc. -- sometimes those seats can become available late as we find out that sponsors, league officials, etc., aren't going to use them. The best way to get a ticket at this point is to either buy up the singles or keeping checking through rockets.com to see if any of the holds get released.

    I know there are other ways to score tickets -- I'm just can't officially endorse any of them. But whatever gets you out to the game is good.

    The 1/31 "Super Bowl Saturday Game" vs. the Nets only has about 600 tickets left, by the way. Sacramento 1/28 will also sell out before game time. Our big games this year from an attendance standpoint are all backloaded into the schedule -- tickets are going to get hard to get for a lot of games from here on out.

    It was more like Rockets smothered themselves last time.

    Ummmm, does the term "Christmas Day beatdown of the Lakers" ring any bells? Y'know, when it was proven that Santa does indeed exist ... and that he wears Rockets freaking Red, baby?

    I hate to say it, but my gut feeling is that we're going to get man handled on Saturday. I'm talking no mercy straight up prison style. Garnett is way to good for anyone on our team.

    Unless we put Cat on him, Alien is going to light us up for 30 points and 10+ dimes. He will show the league who the real all-star PG is.

    I'll go out on a limb and say the Rockets win it in triple overtime with no time outs and a buzzer beater full court shot by kelvin cato. Rockets 134 T-Wolves 133

    A Jeff Van Gundy team score 134 points? He might(God forbid) have a heat attack.
