Houston should win this game but atlanta is a hard team to fgure out.

gameplan is to stop smith, smith can single handdedly bring the hawks down from 15 points so yall have to shut him down. joe will get points but doesnt score in a impactful way.

this should be rafers easiest game opponent at PG, LOL

but seroiously though, the hawks are a talented young team and we cant take them lightly, shane battier will ahve the luxury of guarding another great player in joe johnson

should be a good game

go rockets :clap:

This should be an easy win, but rmr we lost to these guys last season to, lets not underestimate this team, we also have to stay on Joe Johnson he can get hot in a hurry.

Another trap game.

At least the Hawks played tonight, so their energy will be down somewhat. They have a big edge on us in the youth and athleticism department but they might be tired from the back to back.

Horford couldn't even contain Big Z today, he has no hope against Yao, they will almost surely bring doubles. Hopefully McGrady comes out ready to play.

Should be an easy game, hoping to see the younger players get some more PT to develop them, espically Novak.

Can Yao guard Al Horford?
Remember the other guy named "AL" in the Minnesota team?

Agree. Horford is a 'small' guy, something like All Harrington and hell he cannot guard Yao one on one but Yao will also have a lot of troubles against Horford. They will probably front Yao, I'M even sure.

We just need McGRady to step up cause Yao could have tough night

Sometimes , not very often.
Usually when we do bad and he has a chance to bash the players that played bad.
Why?

I like Atlanta's thread. This board should have one thread like that for a game. Anyways, go Rockets! Big Win needed tonight as Portland lost last night and they are now .5 behind us. Let's get these big wins before the all-star break.

If Big Z can stop Horford, which he did effectively, then Yao can too. I am not concerned with Horford, I'm concerned with Joe Johnson and Josh Smith.
