Game Thread: Pistons at Your Houston Rockets - 12/15/09

Posting this one from the iPhone, so that means no fancy production value!

The What: Houston vs. Detroit

The Where: Toyota Center - Houston, Texas

The When: 7:30 PM CST


Starting for the Rockets:

PG - Aaron Brooks
SG - Chase Budinger
SF - Shane Battier
PF - Luis Scola
C - Chuck "The Truck" Hayes


Starting for the Pistons:

PG - Rodney Stuckey
SG - Richard Hamilton
SF - Jonas Jerebko
PF - Jason Maxiell
C - Ben Wallace


Key players missing for Houston: Ariza is out with a bad elbow; McGrady still not active; Yao healing

Key players missing(?) for Detroit: Ben Gordon, Tayshaun Prince & Will Bynum all Questionable


The Rockets will be without Trevor Ariza due to his temper tantrum against the Raptors. Right now it sounds as if the rookie, Chase Budinger, will get the start; but the fact remains that the Rockets will be even more short-handed than usual. Everyone on the team needs to step up, and be prepared for a JT sighting!

if Ben Gordon is not playing, i'm happy. he is another Terry-like Rox killer on a good day.

yeah, Ben Gordon is irritating like that.

He does deserve a spot on the Terry List.

Detroit's on a roll right now, catching a solid team on a hot streak. Need to rebound against Wallace, and guard their perimeter guys. Will be a tough game.

Pat Riley, by some reports...

According to Worrell & Clyde, Adelman is going to play him about 4 minutes in this game in the first half and that is it. He will then see how he's feeling in the second half and tomorrow before determining his playing time in tomorrow's game.

Oh, and I just want to point out that as much love as I had for Clyde as a player, I don't like him as an announcer. The Bill & Bull announce team is far superior.

I miss the old Bill & Murph broadcasts. Yeah, he may have constantly talked about his free throw shooting, but Calvin was always fun to listen to!
