Big test for the Rockets!

[Bull's-eye]

Rockets play at Dallas on monday and then host the Spurs on tuesday. If Houston wants to be mentioned with the top teams, this would be a good time to start by defeating 2 of the best.

I'll be at the Spurs game on tuesday. Thanks for giving us Scola, I like his basketball awareness and toughness. He has helped given Houston a solid bench. Enjoy the game!

Anybody else going to one of these games?

I love the toughness that Scola brings. The Rockets bench has been pretty solid the first three games. They've lacked that in years past.

The only thing I'll say about these games is that while it's a good test for the Rockets, it doesn't mean much for future success if they lose. They're still getting into the new system. Plus, we all know that San Antonio brings it when the playoffs come around.

Go Rockets!!!

Good point! Even though I'm not a big Steve Francis fan, he could have a role on this team. So far Luther Head hasn't been getting the job done, maybe it's time for Francis. James, Scola and Wells have been the biggest improvement for the Rockets.

Mike James has been money coming off the bench.

Scola is the type of player the other teams will dislike. He plays hard and harder. He will fight you for the ball everywhere on the court. IMO, he was the best pickup of the bunch, with james a close second.

NO - keep Francis out of the rotation. Bench is much better.

Rockets are much improved, more fun to watch, & a team to be reckoned with for sure. It will be interesting to watch the season unfold. I like Scola a lot. Team will improve offensively under Adelman. West is loaded!

HOW MUCH DID HOUSTON SPEND ON FRANCIS?

HOW MUCH DID HOUSTON SPEND ON FRANCIS? $2.4 million. Pretty big money in the NFL, chump change in the NBA.

Go Rockets Tonight!
Not tomorrow.;)

I wish Scola was with the Spurs but Darius Washington is gonna pay off for them in the long run.

Roger Clemens makes that per inning

Mavs win!

Rockets played them tough for about 44 minutes, but lose down the stretch 107-98. Mavericks hit 27-28 free throws and Jason Terry scores 31 points. T-Mac scored 35 to lead the Rockets, with Yao scoring 21, but not much help from their bench.
