<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">If the Houston Rockets are to continue their recent hot streak, they'll need to get more production from Tracy McGrady. Houston's star looks to rebound from a poor shooting performance when the Rockets visit the Los Angeles Clippers. The Rockets are 6-2 since Yao Ming returned to the lineup from a broken foot Jan. 30. McGrady, however, shot 3-for-20 and scored seven points in Houston's 90-83 win over New York on Sunday. The Western Conference starter at shooting guard in Sunday's All-Star game in Houston, McGrady has shot only 37 percent over the past 10 games. His seven points matched his second-lowest output of the season, and was the first time he was held under double figures since Dec. 21, when he scored seven in a loss to Toronto. </div> Preview Courteous of Yahoo!

Wilcox and brand killed us last time and this time Wilcox won't be playing because he was traded. Look to see the Rockets pull one out...but we need tmac to catch fire.
-Yao Dominates -McGrady finds his shot in 4th Qtr -Alston and Cassell have a battle -Swift has a highlight Dunk -Lampe Impresses during garbage time Let's see what happens. I may not be right on everything, but the Rockets will still come out with a win.

I may not be right on everything, but the Rockets will still come out with a win.</div> I bolded the ones that are most likely to happen...McGrady needs to find his shot sooner than later, and now (for the next two games) is the perfect time. If we win against PHX and LAC, then we have a legit shot and a good reason to try and make the playoffs. If we lose 1, then we are in the same spot we are now. Therefore we would need to win 3/4 (against PHX and LAC) in order to really make a push. But if we lose the next to....We will need to push for Adam Morrison or Rudy Gay. lol....It would be funny if Luther and Rudy were our 2 guards (even though i think Gay plays SF). Our guard line-up would look like this: G-Gay G-Head EDIT: BTW, I have a feeling Radmonovic is going to get in 3 wide open 3 pointers. 3/4. That is if they give him valuable miinutes.
McGrady seems to be playing better than he has lately right now. I cant see the game so I'm just going by the stats so far but they look better than his last 5 or so games.
nice..61-49 at the half, everybody's playing great games! 9 assists for Alston already, Swift isn't doing bad either, T-Mac found his shot,

He jumped through the roof and slammed in of the back of the iron. Im loving the momentum of this game...we are scoring easily in tranistion. The score is 90-72 with 1 min left in the third, Rockets by 18. Career or season high in steals for Rafer Alston...6 steals.

My Predictions: -Yao Dominates (Not Dominating but Playing great) -McGrady finds his shot in 4th Qtr (He found it in the 1st) -Alston and Cassell have a battle (Alston and Cassell have been playing great, Cassell got ejected) -Swift has a highlight Dunk (Missed a strong dunk) -Lampe Impresses during garbage time (He's not even ready to play) Yao and Swift still have time to make my predictions a reality.
Awesome play so far! These last few games it really seems like Alston WAS what we needed. He's been playing great lately. Obviously everything is skewed since we're shooting so good, but now that T-Mac found his shot I think we're posed to make a run. He should feel a lot better after some rest over the all star break as well. It's so refreshing to be excited about the Rockets again!
Hahaha I'm lovin' this. Bogans has scored 11 pts in a row with Three 3's in a row. And it's great to see Jon Barry back.
jon barry is like the old jon barry... hopefuly, jeff will start playing him more minutes... bogan played like he was a all-star right there... shooting 3s.. baxter-bogan trade is a STEAL
Man this was the perfect game for lampe to showcase his skills and game but he was on injured list??? we should send bowen there and pull lampe out once he proves himself in practice. Great game by rockets. Jus outta curiosity is the toyta center that bad for shooting or why is it mcgrady is like god outside of it???
Great game by Alston...13 assists AND ONLY 1 TURNOVER against a guard like Cassell. Not to mention the 5 steals and 17 points off 5-7 shooting. He's almost forcing guys to run up the court with him and getting them easy buckets...
Cassell got ejected for barking at ref but they were already beat. Keith bogans is a great all around player that rockets needed. He can shoot the 3 and drive inside. His 3 pt shot looks very consistent. Rafer, Tmac, Yao and Wesley were the others playing well "i've been dealin with some pains off the court but it's over now." Tmac on fsn.
Here's the FSN Post Game if anyone's interested. I captured it myself. http://rapidshare.de/files/13304026/Rocket...stGame.wmv.html
Great game by the Rockets. If they just keep playing like this, the playoffs should be easy to get into. Thanks for the video Julio
