sorry guys i completely forgot that we had a game today.

been busy with some stuff

Records: Houston (46-22), Golden State (42-25)
When: Friday, 9:30 p.m.
Where: Oracle Arena
TV/Radio/Spanish Radio: FSN Houston / SportsRadio 610 AM / 850 AM in Spanish

Injury Update: C Yao Ming (left foot surgery) and G Steve Francis (knee surgery) are out and F Carl Landry (sore right knee) is questionable for the Rockets; F Austin Croshere (sore groin) and F Chris Webber (sore left knee) are questionable for the Warriors.

Warriors Update: The Warriors are on pace for their best season since winning 55 games in 1991-92. Unfortunately, that doesn't mean much in the crowded Western Conference playoff race. Golden State is eighth in the West -- holding a 2 1/2-game lead over Denver. But regardless of what happens, no one scores like the Warriors. Golden State leads the NBA with 110.9 points per game.

Projected Starting Lineup:
ROCKETS

G Rafer Alston 13.0 3.6
G Tracy McGrady 21.6 5.0
F Shane Battier 9.1 5.1
F Luis Scola 9.5 5.9
C Dikembe Mutombo 1.7 4.5

WARRIORS

G Baron Davis 22.1 4.7
G Monta Ellis 19.6 4.7
F Stephen Jackson 20.7 4.5
F Mickael Pietrus 6.9 3.6
C Andris Biedrins 10.0 9.2

this should be an easy win, we don't have Yao so they can triple team him but for certain they will double team t-mac but they have no inside presence so we should be able to get points in the paint easily.

i think mutombo will be pretty much useless since harrington camps out at the 3 line so i think adelman will adjust accordingly

anyways, here's to a win, GO ROCKETS

Play the hell well offensivly. Move the ball, hit those outside shoots. T-Mac - no more games like 6/21 or something like that - it's time to get back to the righ rythm.

Win, no other way. WIN

This may be the easiest game for us to win and the Warriors are an epic home team. Only lost ten games in Oakland this year. BUT! Rick Adelman should find scoring opportunities for this squad. Stop blowing easy layups and FINISH! None of this soft layup bs.

610am said Carl Landry looked great in practice but he's still a game time decision. We shall see.

Go Rockets, We need this win desperately.

Probably not gonna win but I hope we play better and don't get blown out. If Landry comes back I like our chances to hang in there and maybe steal it at the end. I am just happy tonight with a better showing than the last two games. Especially from McGrady and Alston.

it wont be an easy win, but its one we definitely need. harrington probably wont play much inside against mutombo. mcgrady really needs to step up tonight. the past is the past.

I'm expecting a loss here, we don't have enough offense to keep up with them no matter what our defense does tonight. Mac and Alston are both in slumps (especially McGrady, 10.5 ppg on under 30% the past three games) and we might be counting on them too much.

I'm going to the game. :(
