[Baller 24]

We should keep up the winning streak here, no playing around as Gooden is back, hopefully we can win this game, and continue our surge, go rox.

[tmacformvp07]

hey your images are screwed up

it is stretching the page

[texasholdem]

Hopefully Gibson doesn't make 11 threes on us.

[King Roosk]

Lebron is fresh off of being the ASG MVP, Drew Gooden is back, and the Cavs are at home. We're a good enough team to beat Cleveland at their house, but we have to own the rebounding battle like we did in our last meeting otherwise we could be in trouble. Larry Hughes has been hot lately, but I'd rather we zero in on shutting down Bron because Hughes' production is erratic. We need to execute offensively, own the glass, and keep Bron in somewhat of a check in order to stretch the win streak to 9.

Go Rockets.

Yeah I have a real bad feeling about this game.

And this game is on NBATV, so no link

Haha...good old box score and auto refresh

[texasholdem]

Wonder if Landry would be best suited to defend LeBron since they are both 6-8, 250 Lebron wouldn't be able to overpower Carl like he does with most SF's.

[Amel]

Battier on James as always very interesting

Yao with 30/15

easy win

[King Roosk]

I think Lebron would be licking his chops if he saw a rookie defending him.

[Shabi__5]

I will say we have about a 40% chance of winning this game , they are very good at home and I don't know what Mcgrady and Alston will show up.
If they play well we might win this.

[TMU]

Alston will drop 30 and torch Larry Hughes... Rockets win.

[McTracy]

Tracy will led us to a big win

[BaYBaller]

It'll depend entirely on how hot CLE's shooters get. They're going to get open shots all night when Lebron is on the floor.

[YoungMoney23]

lets hope the crappy threads win games theory comes true

[Transistor]

yay NBATV I get to watch...

Hopefully Bonzi will be a beast again like he was last time we played them

[Texas Longhorns]

We should continue to win. LeBron will be a confident player in this game after his accomplishment in the All-Star game. We need to ride our momentum from the last game (Steve Novak's 3) and continue to win as the west just does not hold up.

[rockybalboa11]

i hate nbatv

why is it not included as a part of league pass broadband

i have to stream some crappy chinese broadcast of the game.

argh

[Alex_De_Large]

It's rockets vs lebron james, the guy will score 45 but we are going to win, we need to win more than them.

[TMU]

It will be interesting to see whether McGrady used his off-days to work on his flaws... it will determine whether or not we'll make the playoffs and get out of the first round.

Hopefully we still have the momentum that will get us going. Denver is facing a tough opponent tonight, and we must capitalize on this opportunity to get ahead of them.
