Rockets 101 Suns 98 Nostrodamus Inc., Olajuwon owns the third quarter hitting 4 of 5 in the opening minutes. The Rockets build a 15 point lead with 2 minutes to go. In the 4th the Rockets crumble and the Pheonix pulls to within 1 with 4 minutes to go. Tension time. Luckily Cuttino and Francis put 4 free throws together and pull out the win by going iso. ------------------ humble, but hungry.
Rockets need this one so bad. We HAVE to win it. Even Shandon knows how important this is. He was talking about this game and said that if we dont win then the "window" of opportunity would be shut. He said there would only be a slight breeze of a chance for the playoffs left... Rockets 95 Suns 92 I wouldnt mind another blowout. Francis - 24pts,11 assist,8boards Mobley - 20pts Dream - 16pts,12rbs Bullard - 14pts WALT - 12pts Kenny T - 16pts , 11 rbs Go Rockets!!! SS ------------------ Go Rockets!!! SS

Houston 106 Phoenix 92 I also predict that tonight my brother-in-law and I will be not only at the game but in the seats of the Rockets' Director of Basketball Operations (is that CD?) Danny (aforementioned bro-in-law) knows some Rockets through his business and scored these seats. We also get VIP passes (tunnel, floor, etc.) Actually, this isn't a prediction, it's fact, but I had to post it somewhere, and will tonight post a write-up of the experience. I'm so psyched. I predict this game is gonna ROCK!!! ------------------
Well before Hakeem came back I would have picked the Suns to win but I believe the Dream will be that extra edge the Rockets need and will pul off the win to move within 2.5 games of the final playoff spot. ------------------ Arkansas' Biggest Rocket Fan!
You know, Wink3Cat5, the point totals you give for Francis, Mobley, etc. adds up to 102 points. Just noticing. . . My prediction: Rockets 103 Suns 92 Francis: 18 pts, 7 rebs, 9 assts Dream: 16 pts, 10 rebs, 3 blks Mobley: 28 pts, 5 rebs, 2 assts And, my X-FACTOR: None other than Kelvin Cato: 12 pts, 7 rebs, 5 blks This is the game that he breaks out folks! Mark my words, it's coming. He's been saving all his energy for these last 11 games, you'll see. . . (and, hey, if he doesn't, then I can just say that I was being sarcastic. But if he does, then I'm a GENIUS!) ------------------
Well I guess this is the game that decides whether we will have a lottery pick or go deep into the Playoffs. ------------------ ""Minnesota and Phoenix, they're like the little teen-agers in the Friday the 13th movies.

Suns - 95 Rockets - 80 ------------------ Nice guys finish last ... and im surely not going to finish last!
Rockets 101 Suns 94 I've got a good feeling about this guys. ------------------ "norm, would you like to buy an indian scalp ? This deal isn't gonna make or break me Norm, so don't jerk me around." Harry Carey "Norm, if I had a mohawk scalp, I wouldn't be sitting here talking to you."

I'm gonna have to go with rimbaud on this: Rockets 179 Suns 14 I was inspired after watching Game 7, 1995 conference semis against the suns on nba.com tv today. The kiss of death... ------------------
If the rockets lose tonight you can blame me - I inadvertantly broke one of my game day superstitions. I predict a loss ------------------ Maybe all the rulers are wrong. Current Rocket's Salary & Contract Info
Suns 89 Rockets 105 One word: Revenge Is Marion out for tonight's game? He missed most of yesterday's versus the Cavs. ------------------ Hakeem "The Dream" Olajuwon is the greatest player in the history of basketball. If you disagree, you are not a Rocket fan.
