    I know that the Knicks are doing rather well, but the way they play just seems a little stupid to me. They are convinced that they are a halfcourt team, even though all their personel points to a running team. I thought they got rid of Ewing to improve their running game. What happened?

    Anyway, this should be an interesting matchup for the Rockets? What's going to happen? I think the Rockets will stuff the Knicks, and win 101-86. The record will not be broken. Goodnight, 68-58.

    Cat leads the Rockets in points and assists. Steve leads the team in TO's.

    gr8-1, are you being sarcastic or what? I never got what you mean! [​IMG]

    Anyway ...... I hope for the Rockets to play like they did last night in Toronto. I mean, if they can play like that on a nightly basis, we'll be in the playoffs when May comes.

    Prediction: 99-88 Rockets [​IMG]

    Glen Rice their new defensive intimidator --he must be the reason for their record setting defense -- will have no answer for Franics and Mobleys unforgiving offensive repertoire.

    if rice plays decent minutes than the rockets win. if he sits, the knicks will trounce us. we have no answer for Spree, and houston is too tall and good for our guards.

    but I think rice is supposed to play so we will win by 7

    peace

    Of course it's sarcasm. Do you think anyone actually believes Mobley will ever lead the team in assists?

    Rockets win 96-91

    Knicks win 86-80.

    Houston and Sprewell torch our defense for 20+ points each.

    Rice hurt his foot again in yesterday's practice. I don't think he's going to play.

    I have tickets, so I will be in the stands tomorrow night!

    Woo Hoo!!!

    Expect isos. If Allan Houston is on Francis or Mobley, both will be able to blow by the slower Houston with ease. Hitting our open shots is the key.

    93-90 Houston

    Spreewell is overrated in my book. The guy has a nice rounded game, but I dont think he will hurt the rockets. Whoever said Allan Houston was too tall and GOOD for our guards, I disagree. New yorks guards are too slow to contain our guards

    Rockets will win, Francis and Mobley will put on a amazing show for Madison Square Garden.

    I see the Rockets pounding it in to Taylor for this game plus of course Stevie and Cat's speed as stated above.Shandon will be key as we seem to get torched by good swingmen at times.All in all though I say Mo has a BIG night and the Rockets pull out a close one.Hmmmmm........94-91-good guys...20 and 10 for Mo

    Knicks 83
    Rockets 69

    They follow their best game of the year with their worst game of the year, and I blame ROCKET RICH for keeping them out late!
