Awesome game thread...good luck to you guys tonight. If the Rockets play like they did last night against Memphis this should be a 15 point blow out in the Mavs favor. But again good luck hopefully it should be a great game.

Key matchup will probably be Dirk vs Artest... I think I heard that they are starting him at PF. This is gonna be a good game, as the Mavs-Rockets matchups usually are. If the defense can play well and we can get some production out of the bench, than we should be in good shape. Go Mavs! Its good to have foty's gamethreads back too

Artest doesn't start at pf , he doesn't play pf at all for us right now with Battier out.

Lets hope for an entartaining game , that both teams stay healthy and I wish you guys the best of luck this season , but only after this game.

Lol at the game thread in the Houston forum, I guess when you've never been past the 1st round for that long, and live in such a smelly ugly city, those are the antics you stoop too

I can only imagine lol

But on a serious note, maybe the creator of that thread in the Rockets forum can take those championship banners and trade them in for a little bit of class :wink:

JET and Green have a big game behind Dirk/Josh/Bass.

Sounds optimistic, BUT IT'S OPENING NIGHT!

Why not? Lets win

Dammit!

I just looked on ESPN.com and according to them......

If the season was to end right now, we would be playing the Hornets in the 1st round.

Oh, wrong thread. Who are we playing again?
Rockets? Good!

Been counting down to this day since being knocked out by the Hornets. This it. Every player on this team has something to prove. I'm loving the underdog status this season. As JET said, "Don't sleep on us".
