The Rockets will win tonight. Francis will play much more relaxed and undercontrol tonight, and look to set up his teammates more early. In the second half, Francis will take over offensively. The NBA's 2nd leading scorer (aka Cuttino) will cut down on his turnovers from the season opener. Cato will see more time at the center position than the first game, stay out of foul trouble, defend the inbound, trap and press. Taylor, embarrassed by his 1 rebound in first half on Tuesday will box out and continue to hit the open shot. Mooch, will sport cornrows after realizing that the fro was affecting him at the line. Dream will rebound, block and hit the open shot. Bullard and Collier won't see any minutes until garbage time because the rest of the team is staying out of foul trouble despite aggressive defense. Behold! I spoke and it shall come to pass.
Both are coming off of disappointing losses, but the Bucks's loss was worse. Dallas!?! That worries me. I do think the Rockets can win. If Cato doesn't come out with more fire, then I will be very angry after all of his talk in the offseason. Mo will have more rebounds, Francis more points and fewer assists, and Dream will play about 20 minutes. I agree, Moochie will go with cornrows. ------------------ EZLN
Houston 97 Bucks 93 Francis will lead team to first victory, coming very close to a triple-double (23 pts, 11 assists, 7 rebounds), Taylor will continue his good play with 21 points, and Dream will look as lost as ever against one of the better centers in the league, Ervin Johnson*. *-sarcasm alert, he will look bad, but against one of the worse centers. ------------------ When you make an assumption, you make an ass out of yourself and umption. visit www.swirve.com
What? No mentions of Billa coming down here to beat us up? I expect to see a foaming Cato, who will swat 3 shots. Francis will go off for 35 against Cassell. You don't think he remembers opening day last year? My last hope is for Shandon to contain/shut down Ray Allen. ------------------ The Serious Police are watching. Follow the rules or be assimilated. Shandon is underrated.
Rocks-100 Bucks-98 Fewer Turnovers Fewer empty seats Dream-great game Mooch-great hair ------------------ REMEMBER: A Vote for Nader is a Vote for Bush
Rocks 102 Bucks 89 Stevie will have a huge game against Sammy, Mo and Cato are going to have double digit boards, Cat will play good defense on Jesus Shuttlesworth. ------------------ please venture to atheistalliance and rocketsonline I AM SPARTACUS Bush and Gore make me want to Ralph votenader.com [This message has been edited by DEANBCURTIS (edited November 02, 2000).]
Some guy named on the Bucks named Allen will have an above average night. The kid is the all around package. Mo will have a better night, pulling down a few more board. Cat will be off, and Stevie will pick up the slack. Rockets 101 Bucks 97 ------------------ In the end there will be no judges...only witnesses to my greatness.

Yes, the Rockets can win. I'll go 97-94 Rockets depite another torching of Francis by Cassell. Steve will be GREAT, but he isn't there yet and Sam's going to give him some MAJOR problems. ------------------
Mo will be terrible on the boards again, Francis will shoot 33%, Cassell will score over 30 and we'll lose by double-digit figures. But Dream will shoot better than 50% and be strong on the boards in limited playing time. Then, we'll beat the Clippers. ------------------ Rockets Draft Obligations Summary http://www.gaffordstudios.cjb.net/
SG Allen Vs. Anderson Offense Vs Defense. I think Shan will Surprise Allen by making Allen Play Defense. Will be interesting to watch Allen play Mobley as well PG Cassell Vs Francis This will be a battle. I think Francis will start slow. I worry about turnovers Look for the second half as Francis plays Catch up. Look for the Mooch to have a significant game as well. SF G Robinson Vs Walt Williams Screw everyone. WATCH WALT DOMINATE G is a one trick pony watch walt emerge from that status. Walt's improved hustle and tanacity will be seen tonite. [if Refs allow it] PF T. Thomas vs Mo Tay Look for more of what KG got. I think This will be Mo Tay's 1st 20+ game as a Rocket. [will KT play tonite?] C E Johnson Vs hakeem. OK I'll say. . . .IF ONLY HAKEEM's SHOES Showed up they could take Johnson. The trick for hakeem will be to pull johnson away from weak side helping. look for a lot of illegal defenses tonite [a hall mark of a Karl Team] BENCH: Looking at Mil's bench I don't see much but. . .I don't see them much. I think Ham will try to match St and Cat for best Slam Honors. I think mooch and Mobe will have a nice game and the surprise will be how well 'Los plays.
