    [​IMG] ) off the dribble and please oh please don't jack up threes with 15 seconds to go on the clock.


    * The same thing applies for Rose against Tracy or Jim.

    I predict a close game, however, the Raps can't let the Rockets dectitate the tempo, JVG will slow the hell out of the game, this is a game where Milt 'The Stilt' Palacio would play a great role if the Raps are going to win. Straight up, a close game, with a Raps W. :-o

    Yao Ming wouldn't (I wouldn't say never) score 40 points with T-mac in that team.

    can't wait to see how the new raps fit in...but obviously it will take a few games to gel into the system...

    bosh needs a good game to rebound from his performance yesterday...and if it's big names that does it, well the name Yao should be good enough for bosh to light things up...

    i predict a double double for bosh...maybe about 30points 15boards...

DAM SPORTSNET! they are so hooked on hockey, how do there analysts get paid, they just sit on their a$$ all day and complain why dont they try to think of a formula that might work?? anyways i say raps will take it, and there will be an injury, on houstons side. probably jackson-kinda old. raps by 5.

    again i repeat: the raptors are the most disorganized team in the nba; the raps run a high school offense and have the defensive stability of an elementary school team. the backdoors, people running around like they have had their head cuts off and mitchell apologists don't blame it on the new guys cause its been like this all year. i would have doubled tmac and yao, making lue and bowen beat me. i'm disgusted, its pathetic and "insert your adjective of choice" for the worsted coach team in the league.

    First... how do you figure to double-team both T-Mac and Yao? If you double T-Mac he's gonna find Yao or someone else open, if you double Yao, well... he will just dunk over the little 6'10" midgets, get a foul, or find T-Mac and he'll drain a trey. Mitchell's tactics worked the last time the two met in ACC but Yao and T-Mac just had their night yesterday. No one's blaming it on the new guys, I thought Eric Williams played great in his Raptor debut, don't know about Aaron Williams since he only played like 6 minutes. From what I observed, the Raps go as Rafer goes. Alston struggled in past 8 games beginning at New Jersey and the Raps are 2-6 during that span, so go figure. Of course it is disheartening to see the Raps lose yet another game but what can you do when the tallest guy on your team is 5 inches shorter than the opposing centre and gives up more than 40 pounds? Did anybody stop Kobe and Shaq when all things were going their way in the Lakerland? No. Would anybody be able to stop T-Mac and Yao when they get it together? We'll see.
