thanks answer

Tmac is out for the Rockets but don't take us lightly. The Spurs, with Parker and Ginobili, underestimated us and got blew out.

Hope to see a great game tomorrow.

corona why are you not in the hot tub?

i am. its snowing and i'm on my laptop in the hot tub. wifi ftw

don't underestimate me like the spurs did the rockets.

or he'll get blew out?

I think the Rockets will lose this game. Good luck to you guys, hopefully Melo will crush us with 65 pts.

Nice game thread answer.

This game will be tough but there missing tmac so i hope we take advantage of his absense. The bigs need to stay out of foul trouble mostly nene and melo needs to play smart and attack artest and get him into foul trouble, i guess the rockets have two defender that can defend melo now that battier is back.

They don't have no one on there team that can guard jr and billups so im expecting big number from these two. With all that said i hope we get our 12th win and finish the month strong.

Battier and Barry are also our for the Rockets , lets hope we enjoy a good game and both teams stay healthy , good luck!

Wouldn't be so sure about that. I think Ron Artest will take him, he likes to play against Feisty players like J.R. and get in the head. Billups on the other hand will be a problem for us because Alston sucks on offense and defense. Again, good luck!

EDIT: I take that back. Ron Artest will be guarding Melo for the game because Battier is not playing. Easier win for you guys.

I wish Melo would score just 20 but get 10 assists and 10 rebounds, shooting 50%. Melo just going off like Kobe has not been a reality, but he's been one of the most consistent scorers per game since the beginning.

But, I'll take 65 any day. That would be an instant classic.

This is a game I think that we should win....but for some reason I just don't have a good feeling about it. Hopefully Nenê can stay out of foul trouble with Yao.

wow... they have a bunch of key players out.

drive and let them foul us ftmfw!

melo out for second half with elbow contusion.

hopefully nothing too serious and he'll be back by tuesday (toronto).

fwiw....this game puts an end to melo's league leading 10+ point streak.

he was at 220 something games, i believe.

Where is J.R offense when you need it

Why is Balkman not playing at all

Good win

Yao needs to telephone Nene tonight, to ask the 6'10" PF/C how to dunk the ball.

I thought the Rockets still got a chance when they were down 7 in the last 3 minutes of the game. Yao was underneath the basket. Instead of throwing it down, he did a soft layup, and K-mart blocked that shot.

I mean, Yao is 7'6" 300 pound. How come he doesn't dunk? He definitely need to give Nene a call.

Nene is 6´11 !

I was wondering about that... I hadn't checked his stat line until after the game. Should we be concerned about his contusion? I'm no doctor, but that's just a deep bruise, correct? I've bruised my knee before, and the swelling really slows you down. Although this is the first I've heard of it, the Altitude announcers seem to think this is a lingering issue for 'Melo, which may explain his poor shooting.
