When: Tuesday, February 17, 2009
Where: Toyota Center, Houston, Tx.
Time: 7:30 PM CST
Channel: FSN Houston
New Jersey Nets
Projected Starting Lineup
PG: Devin Harris
SG: Vince Carter

Houston Rockets
Projected Starting Lineup
PG: Rafer Alston
SG: Ron Artest
SF: Shane Battier
PF: Luis Scola
C: Yao Ming
With their next five games at the Toyota Center, the Houston Rockets at least know where they'll be playing during the next 10 days.
Because knowing who will suit up in each of those contests will remain a daily question.
The injury-riddled Rockets continue their season-long six-game homestand Tuesday night against a New Jersey Nets team looking to rebound from a pre-All-Star game slide.
Houston (32-21), which has won four straight and 16 of 19 at home, goes for its sixth victory in a row against the Nets. But it's unclear whether Tracy McGrady will be in uniform Tuesday, or for the remainder of the season. McGrady missed the Rockets' last game before the All-Star break - a 94-82 win over Sacramento on Wednesday - with soreness in his left knee.
"We sure do need him on the court," guard Rafer Alston said Wednesday after handing out a season-high 13 assists. "This team understands we need him on the floor. His health issues are as important as anything. We don't want an ailing Tracy McGrady on the floor. We want a healthy Tracy McGrady."
Houston, though, may not need him. The Rockets are 12-6 this season without McGrady in the lineup.
Doesn't look like anyone is out of the lineup besides T-Mac and Luther Head. Could change later, only if there is a trade or something. Which I highly doubt.
Time to go undefeated.

Where did you hear that? Anyway, for what it's worth, if we don't land Carter, I hope he's playing tomorrow because it will mean that no other team got him either.
EDIT: Woo hoo! Two thousand posts, and ne'er a lame one... except this one. Oh, and post #1536 was lame too. All the other ones were gold, though.

Congrats Jove. I'll be the first to say that none of your posts were lame.
Anyway, I hope reupdadj1's rumor is false. It's trade or lottery!!!

Safe to say Devin Harris will outscore Rafer Alston 40 to 10.

Didn't Brooks totally outplay Devin last time these teams met? Maybe we should start Devin. Oh wait, I forgot who our coach is.
