    Rockets will win a big!!!

    when seeing Steve hugging Yao's waist with a shining smile in the ASG,I realize there must be something happen.I'm not sure what is it,but Im convinced its good for Rockets.;)

    yao will have a great game tommorrow. payback against haywood for the hard foul that lit a fire under yaos ass. nice!

    francis will continue where he left off from the laker and all star games. playing within the confines of the offense, not forcing anything.

    cat will nail some treys and play tough defense on stack/hughes.

    This a HUGE game, bigger than the Laker game! Because it is all about CREDIBILITY. If the Rockets come out disinterested and sloppy and actually lose they will literally slide back into square one. Can't happen, must not happen. They MUST play every game from here on with intensity, they must prove than the LA game was no fluke, but the next step in their progress. They should blow the Wizards away, if they don't, all the doubts will return.

    The Beginning of the Ming Dynasty extreme.
    Yao extreme will have some big numbers extreme... and the rox has a win extreme..
    Boki extreme is not going to be in the game.
    But Cat extreme would has another extreme game.

    Rox extreme wins.

    Sorry, I just the killerspin extreme table-tennis tournament on tv.. I don't know why they put extreme on everything now... it just sound cooler.. NBA extreme!

    Hope we are not in for a letdown, which usually happens after we play an excellent game. So i will predict loss.

    Not sure about this one, can the rocket forwards control Webber and Howard and wonder if Steve can stop Strickland from pentrating and piling up the assists, the Yao v Mureshan match-up is very appealing

    This is a game I'm really anticipating. I wish this game were tonight that would let you know for sure the momentum and energy from the All star game would be carrying over.
    No such luck...But the rockets are on a come up if you havent already noticed. Mcdonalds and Ming announced over the all star weekend. HMMM. This is beggining to be a habbit for us fans. We need to enjoy all this exposure with this current team. I hope they don't move any pieces til this seasons over. Because this team is starting to show some serious heart. Thats all you can ask for as a fan for your side to play hard. Even if there not as perfect as you would like them to be. They are all talking about getting better and JVG is starting to get in thier heads. I said it at the beggining of this season that the rockets were going to surprise some people. It would be kick A** if they really do make the playoffs and take someone out of the first 7 game playoff series in a while.

    Since the Rockets won their last game against the Lakers which was a big win, I think we should be prepared for a let down. They seem to be consistent in let downs, follow up a great win with a bad loss. However, I am hoping for the best. In my dreams, the Rockets whoop the Wiz.


    I loved the way SF went to Yao so many times in the Alstar Break. I hope he does the same thing in this game. And Yao tossing SF an alleyoop was OH so sweet.

    With the great performance in all star game, I saw confidence building up in SF and Yao. Big Momentum will start from here. I predict a blow out.

    great attitude 0001.. Im hoping for a blowout too.. (in favor of the Rox)

    SF3 and Yao need to show the league they deserved to start in the ALL Star game. That starts with consistency and how they play everyday.

    Kwame Brown is going to show us why they drafted him number 1.

    It makes no sense to predict this game. I would like to see how ROX would play against Mavs.

    It seems that JVG has been a good coach for Eastern team. But he needs to show us how ROX gain credits against Western teams.

    No way we lose this game. Wiz barely beat us last season with MJ. Even if Yao doesn't have it, Mo will control the post.

    Don't forget Calbert Cheaney, he gives Mobley fits off the dribble, and Tim Legler can fill it up from behind the arc if left open...
