Thats a funny picture of Scola. I barley recognize him in it.

I feel a bit insulted putting that old pic of his up since it's the only one yahoo had available. Would be better off if they had a more recent update of his pic with the Rox.

I wish that I could get one of those posters. I will be watching the game tomorrow. Since the season is winding down, I'll try my best to watch as much of these last 6 games as possible.

Scola

Mobley is probable and Kaman is actually questionable for this game.

I'd like to see EB have a great homecoming and for it to result in a win. He's been waiting for this moment all season long and Clipper Nation has as well.

Thx dunleavyjr. In the case of Kaman, I thought the Clips have put him on the shelf for the remainder of the season.

He's pushing hard to play again this season. He's been retrieving treatment on his ankle and it's improving. It's not likely he'll play tonight, but his commitment is definitely appreciated.

EB gets the start tonight in place of Thornton.

Maggette has a strained right hamstring and will not return.

Battier is putting his hand in Thornton's face whenever he shoots. Great strategy.

The more I see him, the more Elgin looks like the old Michael Jackson.

Is that why he went out, I swear must must be cursed with these injuries. It's just one right after the other. When someone comes back someone else gets injured. Well with the season almost over we won't have to worry about anymore injuries.

Good close to the quarter. Powell with a nice move to the hoop (haven't seen him this confident on the offensive end all year), and we're only down 8 at the end of the first, 30-22.

30-22 Rockets at the end of the 1st. Scola and Jackson have put up 10 a piece for Houston. Powell has added 10 for as well. Theres was a scare earlier where he landed on somebody's foot and was limping but he appears to be fine. EB 6 points, 4 boards & 1 block. He's shooting 2-7 from the field.

Corey is feeling better and may return tonight.

This is becoming a rough second quarter

62-42 Rockets at the half. 12pts, 6rebs & 2blks for Brand at the half. Al picked up his 3rd foul with 5 and some change remaining in the half. He's going to have to stay out of foul trouble in the 2nd half. He's 2-7 from the field and has been able to get to the basket when McGrady has guarded him; he's been getting a hand in his face whenever Battier has covered him. I don't know if Al has done his homework but it's no easy task to get your game going against Shane. Mobley has looked decent in his return but Brand alone will not be able to overcome this 20 point deficit. If Maggette is able to return and a couple other players are able to step up we may be able to chip away Houston's lead and make the score a bit more respectable.

Judging by the box score we are having a hard time stopping the Rockets offense

Is Maggette out for the game...I need 2 steals from him to win my fantasy league!!!
