Good Thread. Nelson will be back in the starting linuep for tonights game and you might wanna add Bass to Orlando's bench, since he actually might see minutes tonight.

Keys to the game:

- Let Dwight Howard beat you. The Rockets will have to play Howard kinda like they did Chris Kaman yesterday in the 2nd half. Play him 1on1 and pack the paint once he puts the ball on the floor (without collapsing) and make him make score 30 or 40. Once Hayes is on the bench, you could mix it up a little bit, sending a double team or two and make him pass the ball, just to give him a different look here and there.
- Deny Howard deep post position. Foul him if you're unable to do so.
- Run them off the 3point line. Orlando will beat you with 3's, not with 2's.
- Go small. Orlando usually has trouble with (quick) scoring point guards and undersized shooting guards, so Lowry & Brooks should give them trouble.

Dwight Howard's stat line is going to be ridiculous. If Kaman can have a career game against us then I'm thinking we'll see at least 50 and 50 from Howard. Suck can't guard him.

I think we can win this, lately Rockets games haven't been as entertaining, the only thing I look forward to every game is the last 7 minutes of the 1st. Hey, at least I'm being honest

i actually thought games have been more exciting really, with us winning and tmac back, and our bench coming through.

anyway, i am not too sure about this. the magic are deep, and rashard and dwight are hard for us to guard. i say we win a close one.

[rocketsfan1]

go rockets~!!!

[Mr. E]

Still travelling, so I won't be able to watch this one. Hopefully they can do their best to contain Dwight. I think that the guys - especially the L&L Boys - step up to the challenge big-time tonight!

Go Rockets!!!

[kam_soluusar]

I think we can get Howard in early foul trouble. Let Brooks take it at him, and play Damage Assesment more, he will draw Howard out of the lane, and let Landry go to work in the post.

Hack Howard, better to give up free throws.

Crash Boards

Run like hell.

Keep giving the middle finger to the rest of the league. Show them all what a TEAM can do!

Landry for A/S game.

[rocketsballin]

[Mr. E]

[YoungMoney23]

Dwight is probably on his way to grabbing 30 rebounds

[Rendezvous]
