    Should be a good game tonight

    Seeing how Yao Ming does for the new season...and of course if Carmelo can lead the Nuggets to back to back wins..

    Yea, this could be a very interesting game. See how the Nuggets come out after the huge, but sad, win last night. By sad I mean the game itself. Sloppy play, horrid shooting, very bad. My pick, Rockets. They have Mobley, Francis, and Ming. Ming is the X-Factor. No one can guard him from Denver. He's too big, height wise. Gonna be good though I think.

    Well, Anthony didn't have much last night at half either. And really, would you be able to get a lot with a 7'6" man known as Yao Ming patrolling the paint as you try to get to the rim? Don't think it'd be that easy. And, yea, he's had some pretty good "d" played on him. However, I expect a much better second half.

    Here's a question for you all while watching this game...

    Would Franchise be better off playing the 2?

    I think he should because he's not much of a pg anyways. He averaged over 4 TO last year and like 6 maybe 7 assisit (i dont remember the exact stats). He is one of the most talented players I've ever seen, and after watching iverson flourish as a 2, I'm convinced Franchise would too.

    It would be ideal if the rockets can somehow aquire a big PG or a point foward.

    Just my 2 cents...

    You mean Steve Kerr's 2 cents.

    I agree with Steve yes.

    Did Kerr say that too?

    My bad, I be inadvertantly plagiarising old retired ball players.

    No steve would not be better at the 2.. He puts up a pretty descent amount of assits.. he runs the team fine.. they need to trade mobley for someone like ira newble ( a defender ) a draft pick and some nachos..
    I really like Kelvin cato.. hes long and strong, he did a great job tonight
