    Offical Rockets Website Preview ^


    I think this game should be a pretty good one. hopefully the rockets can win this one can get a playoff push started. The rockets have a tough schedule for the remainder of the season and they need to start coming back to catch the Suns

    I think the rockets do have a good chance of winning this game because the Nets have been struggling.

    i hope so. There is no way they can make the playoffs with the way they are playing lately. I wish rudy would make some linup changes to give this team a boost. They always seem to fall behind early they try and play catch up from 15 back. That might work against the nuggets or cavs but it wont against the spurs nets mavs pistons

    I wanna see the EG/Kmart matchup.

    They could both be prolific PF's 4 years from now. These early meetings are fun as hell.

    Kmart plays more of a power slam it down type. Similar to Kemp, Amare.
    Eddie has more tools, quicker, has better touch.

    I didn't get to watch the game but i was watching the score updates.

    EG came within a rebound of a double double.

    Houston Defense was huge in the first half holding the nets to 8 points in the second quarter. Records for both teams.

    Houston holds on to win 83-71.

    Streak goes to 2

    nets d was its normal self.

    they just gave up any inside game, and settled for outside shots in the first half.

    they then started going inside with kmart backdoor, but yao showed em why that strategy wouldnt work.
