Rockets have another game to dominate and basically close it out. Dont let the Sixers back in after we have the lead and just play hard. Mutumbo more BLOCKS!!! Dont give the lead on runs and transition D is a key. Also, don't give up the lead close the end of the 4th quarter. Contain Millers penetration and Iguodala and the Rockets should be good. This game is an easy game for the rockets so they need to win it.<font color=""Red"">Luther Head hit some 3's!! </font> <font color=""black"">Sixers:</font> Keep Tmac from scoring more than 30. Sixers should use Dalembert inside and rebound. Use Miller's penetration to their advantage because he will create alot of shots. Bench needs to produce and let Korver come of picks for 3's. The offense needs to go through Iguodala and Miller. Not much else to say but good luck trying to beat the rockets. Cover luther head on 3's! This game is another must win game for the Rockets. These chippy games are what can get us above SA and Dallas recordwise. After coming of easy win against Portland, these games help our home record so the Rockets need to win these. This should be a great matchup for Rafer Alston because Miller is good at creating offense. Hope for a great game at Toyota Center and may the best team win.
This is a game we should win easily, but Philly has been playing decently of late. They have nothing to play for, except pride.
The Sixers fan inside me tells me the Sixers should lose (and I'll be pissed if they win). Unlike all the other Sixers vs Rockets matchups, I'm pretty much whole heartedly rooting for Houston on this one. Van Gundy really needs to watch out for Iguodala and Miller on this one though, the two have been tearing it up lately. Dalembert and Hunter are no doubt going to give us some problems inside the paint with their long arms and athleticism, but they're still a bit raw so hopefully Mutombo and Howard's veteran savyness will win in the matchup.
Guys, I can't watch the game tonight, any site where to follow a detailed play by blay? NBA.Com isn't working that good tonight. Thanks

I swaer Lucas is a cancer.... When he first comes on the court he some how commits an offesive foul dribbling at medium speed. Then on our next possession, he trys to take it all himself, forces the shot then gets an over the back foul on the rebound. The play, on the defensive end he bites on pump fake and commits a ANd 1 foul... I dont think he fits on this team...

<div class="quote_poster">THE DREAM Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">fixed.</div> Hey, I think I saw you on tv yesterday (based on your myspace picture). Long closeup of you standing next to a guy in some funny costume, I believe.
LOL, yeah that was me, I got to sit in the front this time and the dude next to me is funny as hell....he was wearing a lion costume.
LOL.. I see THE DREAM on TV like every game rockets play. Whenever they go to the commercial break, they show the rowdies and THE DREAM is like always cheering in the middle of the rowdies. I can spot him easily out of all.
