An important string of games here... New Jersey 03/31 - we embarassed them at Compaq Center. They are looking for revenge. The first ever match up of Yao vs. Mutumbo. Bucks 04/02 - The Glove wants to remind Francis he still isnt the best point guard in the leauge. Philly 04/04 - The first time Kenny Thomas will play against the Rockets team he was traded from.
Every game could go either way.. but I say the rox have a good chance of beating the Nets, a really good chance of beating the Bucks, and a decent chance at beating the Sixers... I'm gonna say 2-1. If they can't pull out 2-1.. well they should still make the playoffs, but they should be able to go 2-1.
It's gonna be put up or shut up time. The Rockets have the tools to win each game, but whether they'll be able to put them to effective use remains to be seen... I predict 1-2.
The Rockets should try to win the Bucks game, which they are capable of doing. Winning 1 out of 3 road games won't hurt the team too much. The best situation would be to win the 76ers game, as well as the Bucks game. But, the Rockets have to play at their absolute best to do that. The players continue ISO, while Larry Smith doesn't have any offensive strategies. This comes at a bad time, during this road trip.
