Did't spend enough time to make that. And...I should make it thinner next time...

[Yao21]

Easy win.

[Baller 24]

Max you should make every thread

[Lebo13]

Nice Thread!!

I particularly agree with key number 5!?

But yeah this SHOULD be an easy win and I'd like to see the Rockets do a better job at winning a game they should than the last time(Spurs)

It'll be nice to have Brooks coming off the bench for his scoring punch cos he can be a bit greedier!!

By the way guys whats the current status of Shane?? When is he due back?? Before December maybe??

[Iggyemu]

Max this is awesome bro. GJ

[RaoulDuke79]

I'm not sure if some of you have been watching the Rockets but "easy win" doesn't sound remotely like anything this team is known for.

And I concur on the thread, very well done.

[TMACFORMVP]

Nice game-thread max!

This isn't an easy win, in fact, from what I expect that worked the past two times.....I expect..

1.) Durant to absolutely abuse us from the perimeter
2.) Collison and Petro not only kill us on the boards but force our bigs to the outside
3.) Westbrook's quickness and defensive game wrecks havoc on us on both ends
4.) Lazy McGrady lets Green/and others WIDE open for big games
5.) McGrady coming off a semi good game, and not on national tv, scores 1 point on 0-10 shooting
6.) Yao's interior defense does nothing, and doesn't go out on their bigs
7.) Artest just continues what he's doing offensively, but even worse defensively.
8.) Alston off of suspension has no groove (lol at Alston ever having a groove).
9.) On the road, and the home crowd for them will be rocking.
10.) And finally, we roll in there thinking exactly like some of us here, an "easy win" and then all the following above happens, and we find ourselves in a tight one in the 4th quarter where Kevin Durant proceeds to kill us.

Yeah that sounds about right....

im just curious about luther head, i mean 2 seasons ago, he's a decent 2-1 Guard, that scores mostly on backdoor plays with yao, and has a decent 3 pt. shot (over 200 three's made) to boot, but now he totally suxors. i dont know if benching him would make him a better player. i say give him some playing time when the lead goes up to 10 and above, just to give him back the same confidence that he had a couple of seasons ago.

just my 0.05 cents. whatever

[DreamShook34]

Easy win.

what are you saying.. easy wins for the rockets usually arent.. lets see if we do the same thing we did in the spurs game let them hang around then let them steal it in the end.. lets hope we've learned our lesson. Im pretty sure we havent.

[TMU]

Must win.

[Baller 24]

Not on national Tv..hmm look for someone else to contribute.

he's a good spot up shooter and play good defense (almost everybody get burned by Kobe and Wade anyway)
his only problem is he's trying to do too much
his passing skill is awful for a guard
he just need to go out there play his defense and be a spot up shooter
problem is that Wafer is capable of doing that as well plus bigger size

Nice game thread Max. I might catch some of the game and watch WWE Raw afterwards. This should be an easy win for us. All we have to do is play like we did the first week of the season. Im scared their athletic frontcourt with Petro, Collison and Wilcox are going to give us trouble. Durant might can be had by Artest, and T-Mac needs to play like he did against the Hornets for us to to victorious. Rafer is back!

[jove9]

I'm looking for Von Wafer to have a big game.

I think I'm going to say that prior to every Rockets game. Eventually, when / if it happens, I'll look like a freaking genius for calling it.

USA!

Wilcox is injured
in the past 2 games Swift is actually starting for them
(i made the pictures 4 days ago )
T-Mac is going to be on Durant
you can't expect him to guard Green

[moofs]

Nice thread, Max.

Jove change your Mii to Von Wafer too

[mpsniper101]

Easy win.

[KiDdFrESh]

Very nice game thread. Good work.

Rockets MUST win this game. I'm still bitter over the San Antonio game so a loss tonight would be extremely devastating.

LETS GO ROCKETS !!!!

imagine we took care of our business in the last minute of the 4th quarter
we could be 8-2 (only losing to last season Eastern and Western champs)
