ROCKETS KEYS TO VICTORY --------------------
1. FEED YAO THE BALL - need to play inside-out and not outside-in
2. NEED TO KNOCK DOWN THOSE THREES - give Yao room to do his thing inside
3. ARTEST HAS TO SCORE- better shot selection, don't force his shot in traffic

We need to get a win here , must take advantage of the weaker teams and get wins.
If we can stay 1st on our division or very close to 1st until T-Mac comes back that would be great.

Nice game thread Max.
We should be able to come out on top in this game. If we are able to stop both Gay and Mayo, this game will be ugly.

there's a mistake in our starting 5 picture
Scola should be smaller
his shoulder width should be the same as Artest
i didn't realize it until i made the picture smaller to fit inside the post
i'll fix it later

Max the last time you created a game thread Artest, McGrady, and Yao got hurt. If Something like that happens again you're getting traded to the Clippers board.

The likes of Rudy Gay or Hakeem Warrick might fustrate Yao. Don't forget they have a better than average big in Mark Gasol that will try to **** up Yao.

Warrick and Gay are excellent dunkers. I hope Yao gets dunk on by at least one of them. That way, Yao can fire up like he did against the GS Warriors the other night. Somebody needs to wake up the giant.

I was watching the Rockets vs Warriors game on a Chinese broadcast channel, and the announcer said something about Yao started to pay attention to his stats more. It could be the reason why Yao was more aggressive. I think it should be a good thing if Yao try to score more, can't complain a .500 fg% guy taking more shots.

I dont think Gay will dunk on Yao. Mostly Gay dunks are on fast breaks or when the lane is open. I do hope Yao gets fired up like he did last game. I hope Landry dunks on Warrick though. :lol:

Dude, those Chinese commentators are BSing 9 out of 10 times. They are worse than Drexler.

Those young Grizzlies are more athletic than those Warriors. And they do play better defense. (Can't be worse than the Warriros since they are the worst)

On a side note. Mike Conley isnt starting for the Grizzlies. What is with these Ohio St. players?
