This game scares me a little. We all know how well Rafer Alston guards fast point guards and VC always seems to raise his level when playing against T-Mac. I am interested to see who McGrady will guard, Jefferson or Carter, and how well he does.

Just keep the ball out of Carter's hand and it's an easy win. People have already forgotten about how good he is.

I'm sure New Jersey, Atlanta, and Charlotte have all heard what the media and everyone are saying about how Houston should easily get to 21 straight.
This should give them a bit of motivation to beat us, as well as the fact that all 3 are battling for a playoff spot in the horrid east

I expect New Jersey to come out and play us tough. But as long as we keep doing the things we've been doing the last 18 games (hustle, defense, ball movement) we should be ok for 19

I agree with you with how people forget hoe good Vince is but RJ scares me just a little bit more, if Carter is having a bad shooting night he turns into a chucker and shoots just horrible shots.

I'm sure McGrady will end up guarding RJ even though he is probably a little tougher guard due to all his movement - VC is a little more physical and McGrady sometimes struggles against the bigger more physical guys.

a little off topic, BUT - nba.com power rankings drop tomorrow. and nbatv reporter just said the spurs dropped 4 places. rockets are first -- im pretty sure, but it wasn't revealed just yet. fingers crossed.. i would LOVE to see us sitting at no.1, even if only for a day.

The Kings just beat Kobe & Co. tonight, so why cant we do it???

1.5 games from the top seed, GO ROCKETS!!!

ChinaTown · Post #14 » by **ChinaTown** » Mon Mar 10, 2008 4:33 am

Well, this is really interesting. If you think, we have become what just Iron Mike (Tyson) became and he once revealed it... "My opponents just lose before they fight me because they are so scare that cant execute their game plan"

Im a little bit worried cause like Tyson win in that epic fight with Douglas in Japan, I feel we are going to lose also to an underdog away from home.

Anyway... Go Rockets!

ChinaTown · Post #15 » by **ChinaTown** » Mon Mar 10, 2008 4:50 am

I just think about the litany of teams that we have beat and I cant believe it.

If 9 wins in a raw is a challenge how much more would be duplicate that? for you to have an idea... there are teams dreaming going on a 6 game winning streak.

jeff1624 · Post #16 » by **jeff1624** » Mon Mar 10, 2008 4:59 am

I would have killed for the nets to go on a 3 game winning streak, not anymore though... TANK CITY :pray:

You guys will win easily seeing as we probably won't even hit 85...
