    Sonics and Rockets are both chasing 8th spot on the West.
    They both need to win this game.

    I think Rockets will win.
    Cuttino will play great on Ray Ray and Posey and Griffin will stop Shard.
    Steve is gonna be unstopable, he will be very close to trple double.
    I think Yao is gonna have great game as well.
    It is going to be a great game.

    Rockets will win

    Steve + Cuttino + Yao will be too much for the Sonics

    i hope you are right. The rockets cant take the sonics lightly though. If they lose this game, the rockets will be tied for the 8th spot again. and we cant have that.


    I hope we can win this game for rudy. i think this is the only game he is scheduled to miss. They haven't announced the results, but i hope he is alright.


    Its good to know that everyone on the team cares about him. I hope the assisant knows what he is doing

    I think we can win this game froma ROckets stadpoint. TO win it howver we need to get Yao Ming involved early then as tehy start doubling him Stevie and Cuttino can cut/slash to the hole for some open layups.

    If Yao Ming isnt a factor in this game then the Rckets lose.

    I hope ray ray plays well..and sonics win as i predicted them too in this NBA predictions game [​IMG] on another board

    91-88

    also no rockets player will stop allen and no way will griffin stop shard lewis..he is on a tear right now.Francis won't get a triple double...he will struggle shooting in yet another big game.

    Francis vs. Allen tonight. I think the Rockets have more incentive to win this game. The Suns had a huge win against the Kings and the Rockets need to step it up a level to stay ahead of the Suns. I think the key will be if Eddie Griffin can shutdown Shard Lewis.

    I don't think Radmanovic will be guarding Yao. From what I've seen, I thought he was a tall SF. I don't think the Sonics have enough to handle the Rockets. I think Posey can handle Lewis. Francis and Yao win this one for the Rockets.

    Should be a close game. The Rockets should get the win but they better not take the sonics lightly or they will end up losing. Yao will have around 20 points.

    How come Yao only has 8 FGA? The Rockets should be punishing the Sonics and slowing the game down by running the offense through Yao.

    I'm sure Rudy T's situation is a huge distraction, but they should win this one for the coach. Still some time left. Rockets need this one.

    i think rudy's situation was on their minds. They seemed for most of the game like they were somewhere else. Bleh....we still really had a good chance at winning at the end too...
