    I forget the numbers, but I remember Amare having terrible games against Yao, sometimes he gets off a few dunks, but in the end, his numbers look really bad. he had a decent game last year in the SF elbow game, but he shot something like 25% for the game

    I expect to see Spoon get some time in guarding Marion, especially in the 4th quarter when our offense will be the yao/T-Mac show. I recall the Matrix really messed us up bad late in the game the last time we played Phoenix. Offensive rebounding is really going to be a key to this game for us, so I home Juwon airs up his Pumps real good.

    You are reading my thoughts, aren't you? ;)

    Let Nash get 30+ or even 40+ points, and we will beat them .

    I wish he wore Reeboks because Juwan hurts the Jump Man brand by wearing Jordans.

    I think Yao will be up for this game (22pts, 11 rebs, 2 blocks, 1 assist). Phoenix is so fast it will be hard to put a leash on them, but Rockets will manage to keep it tight during this game. Expect 25+ from TMac and a decent Sura resurrection. I think other players will step up and contribute heavily to the point total - Wesley 18 - 20 points, James 22-25 points). The end result will be:

    Rockets: 109
    Suns: 104

    this game is in Phoenix, right? if not forget what I say.

    Refs are gonna screw Yao and the Rox for that matter.

    Fowls on Ming as fast as the peking duck they serve in his restaurant. Maybe a league record of someone fowling out in any game.

    Yao is gonna get a mental breakdown again playing in Phoenix.

    Big loss i'm afraid. :(

    If you have dish network it says channel 445

    They'll start Hunter at the C. put Joe Johonson to the 3 spot and move richardson to the 2 spot.

    Yao is an intimtading figure right now. he is changing alot of the suns shots. Amare looks scared going up against yao.
