    <font size="3">Prediction</font>

    Rockets are desperate for a win without Tracy McGrady, but San Antonio will give them a hard fight. Bonzi will breakout on Manu like he did in the playoffs last season.

    Rockets win, 92-91.

    San Antonio is going to blow us out. Yao struggles against their front court, and they do a good job guarding the paint and also against the three. Our midrange game sucks.

    If we're to have any chance, Bonzi needs to show up real big. It's unlikely.

    Where do you live? Do you have ESPN or FSNSW (the channel Rockets games usually come on.)

    Yea, I have that feeling that we are going to get blown out. Manu and Parker strip Yao every time he puts the ball on the floor, leaving Rafer/Head/Bonzi wide open.

    Last season, without T-Mac, we had a chance to beat SA and it came down to Finley's 3 pointer that ended the game in which SA won by 6. Yao had a 30+ point game which wasn't enough. SA seems more determined this season while we do have better role players. It should be an interesting game and a test of strength for the Rockets.

    maybe too early to surrender, i still hav hopes on them. yet from every point we are not even matched, we could make a different end unlike last game. The key issue is our bench, plz utilizing them well and they wil all provide incredible force as reward. havn't u seen their performance against lakers? it's time for our backup weapons to fire, a predictable win by rockets 97-90

    ^that's cool. A Rockets fan all the way out there in Aussie. Yea, ESPN goes by Pacific time, so there is a 1 hour difference in the time zones...

    Anyone else know that the Rockets have lost 17 straight at San Antonio? I'd say we are overdue for a win. I am kind of turned off and don't want to watch this game until the 4th after the last time we played them and hearing that stat.

    Rockets either win luckily in crunch time or lose by double digits. It can go either way. More likely the Spurs way.

    Damn! No one ever said the same to me, a Rockets fan from Italy who is going to sleep at 7AM every night to watch Rockets games! [​IMG]

    Onto the match: Rox did start excellent tonight in the 1st. Hope to say the same at the end of the game.

    Wow, that's cool...A Rockets fan all the way out there in Italy! What part? I'm curious why you an lucifer chose the Rockets to follow when the Bucks (Bogut-Australian), and...I can't think of any players from Italy right now, but was it Yao, Tracy, Hakeem or just the whole team that made you interested in the Rockets? [​IMG]

    I really hope the Rockets start and finish the 3rd quarter strong.

    Well, to be honest I am a Rockets fan since the time Moses Malone was playing for us, so Yao and even Hakeem had nothing to do with that. I don't know why, probably because when young I loved a futuristic music band called Les Rockets and when I discovered a NBA Team called Rockets... You know.

    I am from Torre Del Lago Puccini, home of Giacomo Puccini, a small town close to Pisa and near to Firenze Florence). One of the best beach in Tuscany here and nothing else.

    Bargnani... Blah! The only Italian player who had some chance to play for good in the NBA was Gianmarco Pozzecco an amazing ankle breaker PG. Unfortunately he never had the chance to play in any NBA team.

    Joe Bryant (his father) played here in Italy, not Kobe. Probably, the most succesfull american player here was Mike D'Antoni: 12 years and 5 titles.
