The first is Houston’s firepower. When Tracy McGrady went off the pitch few days ago, no one expected Houston would keep the firepower, but it happened. Luther Head who replaced him scored his season best 21 points against San Antonio yesterday. Ron Artest added 16 and another 5 players made over ten points against Tim Duncan and co for 103:84 win at home.
Now, against them is standing Denver that held an opponent under 100 points just one time in the last four games.
The second reason is the firepower of Denver’s players. Chauncey Billups is on fire and he made season’s best 27 points for 3 quarters against Minnesota yesterday. Carmelo added 25 and Denver won 106:97.
The third reason is the statistic. Denver made over 193 in 3 of last four home games, Houston made over 193 in their last three games away. Even more, all the 4 games last season between those two ended with more than 190 points, but here I have to remind that Iverson played for Denver in last season.
The fourth and the last reason to play this match an over 193 is that I cannot see who will stop Yao tonight.
