The Rockets have lost 2 straight, both against the Spurs. Against the Wolves, who are missing centre Kandi Man, Yao would thrive but I doubt that the Rockets will stop Cassell, Spree and KG..........

I think they will be out to prove a point tomorrow. The Rockets did a good job in the Spurs series of limiting Tim Duncan's offensive production. They will need to do the same against the Wolves. I think the man that will be hard to stop besides KG, will be Sprewell. I think Francis will be able to contain Cassell, pretty well offensively. I have not been a big fan of Cuttino Mobley defense for the past few years. He has stepped it some, but Sprewell is far superior talent wise. The key match-up will be Kelvin Cato against Kevin Garnett. Cato is a non-factor on offense so KG will be able to help out on Yao quite a bit. KG is much quicker than Duncan, so it will come down to KG hitting outside jumpshots. If KG starts draining them from the outside, the Cato will have to come out to guard him. If that happens, KG can go by Cato and we are screwed.
