We got a tough road trip after this one so lets get to 4-0 please.
The Celtics got their butts kicked by Indiana so you know they are coming hungry , expecting a great game.

Lets beat some celtic butt.

Wait a minute that didn't sound right.....

Lets go Rockets.

This is our first hard test at home.

hope we win but i dont think we are ready for this one

i think itll be close but well pull away a victory from this one. artest is really gonna shine in this game. hell have his hands full, but hell rise up and lead the rockets to victory!!

Kendrick Perkins doesn't wear #34 - Pierce does. Anyways, I'm expecting a close game. Horrible officiating on both sides, and possibly a few Technicals handed out as well. Artest was really never able to shut down Pierce - their battles over the years prove this. It will be a dirty game for sure. Let's play a good ball game and may both teams be injury free. Close game, I say C's win by 4.

This will be really interesting to watch! Both squads getting comparisons, even beyond the big 3!

Hopefully Rafer can hit a couple shots to spread the floor for the other guys!! Its gonna be a defensive grind throughout the game!!


GO ROCKETS!!!!!

Yeeeeeeeeeeeee Finally.. I can't wait.

how about Elite 3 instead?

At no point last year did Boston play us at full strength. They got Yao alone in the first game..they got McGrady alone in the next. Yes the latter was coming off a 22 game win streak but a game is a game and within a game the Celts defense is championship caliber....and easily stopped McGrady.

They get us a full strength tomorrow. They are the champs. We have been bad at home. We'd need to step it up big time. But I don't fear them..they haven't seen us at full strength. I fear LA..maybe a little NO. But not Boston. We can beat Boston...we just need to play better at home.

Brooks goes for 40.

Von Wafer goes for 106.

Rockets win by 1 (Scalabrine scores 210 by himself).

I don't know why you guys are overrating LAL.. they aren't as good as they seem. They haven't even played a playoff team yet (Denver doesn't count, they're scrubs)... Trust me, you guys gotta have LAL and BOS at the same level...

Battier is missing , Mcgrady is about 70% and we have no chemistry.
Whether we win or not they are still the better team after this game.

We are a work in progress so I will understand if we lose but a win will be really nice.

It's going to be a slow, ugly, grind-it-out type of game. The intensity should be high however.

I agree but hey, that's pretty much how the Rockets play their games.

The Battle of the Trio's baby!
