I am hoping T-Mac will play a little to test his knee out.

Lets see if Wafer can keep it up , if Dorsey can stop fouling and what DJ Strawberry got.

i doubt tmac will play in this game. if he plays any games, it might be the last one. according to mac, he doesnt even need to play preseason games. i think he should play in some though. everyone has that rust on them when they first start playing.

Has anyone heard if Landry is playing?

Man the Rockets are loaded. I just hope they are healthy for the playoffs.

I want to see Brooks improve tonight.

Too bad I am going to miss this game. (Our high school homecoming is today, and im playing in the band.)

As for the Landry question, I dont see why he wouldnt play tonight. Did he get hurt last game?

Ok, so no pictures. But why not list the time and place?

Hopefully the Rockets come out with a win. I want to see Yao go to work early in the post. I hope Landry plays and Dorsey stays out of foul trouble.

I love watching Artest play.

GO ROCKETS

Patrick O'Bryant is starting, Perkins has been resting his shoulder for the last 2 preseason games. The Celtics got O'Bryant for cheap after the Warriors let him walk this summer, and he's looked good so far. It will be interesting to see how he matches up against Yao. He's a good shot blocker, but he doesn't have the strength of someone like Perkins, so it might turn out to be an easy matchup for Yao.
The game is at the Verizon Wireless Arena, Manchester, New Hampshire and the start time is 7:30 ET.

Mac might play in this game...

I wonder how much Boston plays their guys, yesterday they played KG, Ray, and Pierce under 10 minutes each.

T-Mac is playing

McGrady driving..not finishing. Artest took out Pierce...although it looks more like Pierce was faking that one.

Post #18 » by **TMACFORMVP** » Sat Oct 11, 2008 11:52 pm

Yay, I've been able to watch the game thus far!

Artest and KG playing hard, lol. Alston's got to reverse that in that situation..

These Celtic commentators know absolutely nothing about the opposing teams.
