Hey guys, just saw that there wasn't a GT.
I'm writing a paper, so I'll do it quickly and maybe edit after.
Where? At Toyota Center
When? 8.30 PM.
Our starters.
Brooks-Ariza-Battier-Scola-Hayes
Suns Starters.
Nash-JRich-Hill-Frye-Amare.
http://www.nba.com/games/20091117/PHXHOU/gameinfo.html?ls=gt2hp0020900154With Ariza's help, Houston has scored 100 points or more in nine straight games, the club's longest streak since a 12-game run during the 1995-96 season.
Despite being one of the lower-scoring teams in the NBA with 98.4 points per game last season, Houston averaged 106.3 while winning two of three against Phoenix. The Suns scored 102.7 points per game in the series.

If we lose this game, blame me. I have yet to see a winning game this season.

Everyone is saying AB is going to go for a lot of points.. I'm not too sure about that.. AB=inconsistent.. I would be happy if he scored 15-20 pts 5 assists.. something is telling me he is not going to have a particularly scintillating offensive game..
Carl/Scola/Andersen have to have a good games today offensively and defensively.. they cannot forget that Frye is shooting 400 footers now DO NOT LOSE HIM IN TRANSITION!!
Other note: Amundson plays Rockets type of ball cant let him out hustle us.

7 3pt shot out of 1st 12 shots for the rockets. Made 5 out of 7 so all is good now. But can't rely fully o 3pt shots. Now the rockets have forced the suns to spread the floor. Have to score some points from the posts.

I cannot believe they didn't give Scola the ball when Grant Hill was on him.. I don't care how slow the player is on Ariza he will not beat him off the dribble..

Landry should have finished that. Rockets are playing well.
Edit: shot clock violation...
Nonetheless excellent 1st quarter

Great 1st quarter, hopefully the Mav game won't repeat itself though. We need to find a way to stay in the game when our FG% start dropping.
