This is a game you have to get if you're the rockets, especially with a tough Cleveland team 2morrow on the end of a back to back. The key to this victory will be Aaron Brooks ability to slow down Devin Harris and to make Devin play some defense. I've seen Brooks do a fantastic job this year of keeping Chris Paul out of the lane, and I'm sure he's quick enough to stay in front of Devin the Dude. Yao should have a monster game, and hopefully he can get those rebound numbers up (please no more 4 rebound games Yao). Tracy always looks forward to playing his cousin, so I'm expecting an all around good game from Tmac. I'm hoping we can make this a relatively easy win, so we can rest some of our starters in the 4th for 2morrow nights game.
Rockets do everything that I predicted they needed to do to win this one. Brooks schooled Devin Harris and had him in foul trouble all night. Devin the Dude was never able to get into any rhythm and he didn't even make his 1st FG until the 3rd quarter. Yao was beastly on both ends of the court. An outstanding double double to go along with 4 blocks! Tmac shot the ball good, Brent Barry is back, and Rafer is expected to return 2nite against the cavs. And the defense was SOLID for 48 minutes......Jersey was forced into bad shot after bad shot. Luckily the starters got to rest some in the 4th, so hopefully they'll have fresh legs 2nite. I must add on that Trenton Hassle shouldn't be in the NBA, lol....Is there anything that he's good at doing????
