mike james will score 10 pts. on 5/32 shooting
bonzi wells will once again become fat because he's so depressed cause he's traded so coach byron scott decided to put him on inactive list.

meanwhile b.jax will score 20 on his former team to go with 4/6 from 3

If we can pull a win out tonight, especially on the road, then we'll (temporarily) shut a lot of people up. Let's hope we can take care of business.

No way we can win this game, just by miracle and im afraid we already wasted our miracle deposit we games like the vs. Sac.

So... not being cynic but knowing that this is the second game of a back to back and vs. west best, what can we expect?

Im expecting a lose, a win would be a plus, a sigle digit lose = satisfactory.

Go Rockets!

We have to win tonight. Or we are back out of the playoffs. We can do it!

Yao needs to step up this game because NO usually does single coverage on Yao. Chandler knows Yao and his tendencies well but he shouldn't be able to stop Yao.

T-Mac also needs to have a big game because they don't have a premiere perimeter defender.

Going to be interesting to see how we defend Paul tonight.

Yao Rafer Shane may have tough games but Hornets really don't have anybody who can even try to stop Tracy.

WIN WIN WIN

yeah i agree. 5-game home stand after this one, with the first three being chicago, washington, and memphis who are a combined 40 games under .500 --- this game could send us on our way to a 14-17 game win streak, trailblazer style. but, one game at a time. this is a HUGE one. please t-mac, pleaseeeeeee, embarrass mo-pete.

yeah this is a big test. i think last time chandler fronted yao and made it difficult to post him up. i see landry having a good game tonight too even though he will probably go up against david west. this will show us if were ready to face the upper echelon west teams.

This is a setup for us to lose. We're tired coming off a back to back. The open looks will be fewer today than yesterday because they will single cover Yao instead of swarming him.

Key to winning today is Yao. He has to set the tone early and force the Hornets to send extra help to him, that's what opens up everything else. Chandler is a fine defender and has caused Yao trouble in the past even though Yao torched him in January.
