Rockets fan here. Good luck to both teams even though I'm honestly just hoping we put up a decent fight and no more injuries. We don't have Papanikolaou as a reserve, he got injured late night.

Thanks, good luck as well. Rockets are playing great this year I never thought they'd be this good considering they lost Lin/Parsons but their proving me wrong. Even without Dwight lately you guys are tough to beat. Both teams playing last night, Rockets had 3 guys play over 40 minutes and Harden was pretty close to that number as well while Suns just had Bledsoe reach 40 everyone else under that.

Not sure why you brought Amare& Yao in this topic considering both havent faced each other since like 2008 and one is now retired while other barely gets minutes on the Knicks.

Man, is it just me or does anyone else get physically sick when they see Terry? I just really don't like that player. He isn't a bad player, I just think he gets away with way too much crap, much of it slightly dirty. And his gangster wannabe YouTube stuff doesn't help either. I feel he is just plain trash.

That aside, Houston is a tough team, and has decent depth and energy. Very tough back to back, and I really hope they don't double or triple our freethrow attempts. Nothing worse than seeing a third period where the fouls called were as one sided as 10-1. :banghead:

Howard out, Terrence Jones out, Beberly out, Papanikolau out..... we have to win this one.
They are a deep team, but this is too much.They have his starting frontcourt and starting PG injuried, so they are basically Harden & Ariza and a mix of very young or very old bench players.

Go Suns!

I don't think we would have paid him what he wanted (and probably deserved). He got $12M/year for five years which for a big is pretty reasonable.

The extra two characters would have reduced the font, and the emphasis. :lol:

I remember him complaining about being involved in the offense and Dragic not being able to run the Pick n Roll like Nash.
