    Let me step even farther out on that limb and say that if we out rebound, out defend them, and outscore them, we have a legit shot at winning.

    Tmac should guard Amare. Tmac is about as big as him.

    See...I don't necessarily toe the party line here.

    I'm on record as saying the current Suns are what IMHO the Rockets should be emulating. Not the Spurs.

    So, if I like REALLY like the Suns-Shaq concept...AND I'm not a big Battier or Hayes fan...AND the Rox do well with uptempo guys around a slow Center...

    I think you see my point of emphasis...unleash the hounds! ;)

    No, ESPN is showing Golf, for crying out loud. Won't it be dark in NC by then.

    Nah, playing at home, I think we'll be ok. Everybody shoots the ball a little better at home... except McGrady this season, heh. We can't struggle from three, though, or we're in trouble.

    Battier's decision to wear a green jacket instead of your standard black or dark blue jacket clearly threw the Phoenix Suns off their game in the first half. Those types of intangibles are what makes Shane a winner, and you can't measure it with stats.

    :p
