They're 41-20, 5th in the West, coming off a 113-98 win at Dallas, on a 17 game winning streak, a game behind New Orleans for 3rd in the West, and 1.5 ahead of Phoenix for sixth.

Good luck in the game tonight.

Wow talk about a vital game. For us Utah Jazz fans, whatever outcome, preferably new orleans losing benefits us. But it would be a big hit for the Rockets to finally lose after the Jazz last beat them in Jan 27th. Wow, just wow, I wish I had league pass to watch this game. So so important. Good luck to both sides. congrats to CP3 for breaking the barrier, today he will wake averaging 21 PPG and 11 APG with league leading 2.7 SPG. Wow, just wow.

Game is also going to be on NBATV tonight.

Geaux Nawlins!

We are Rockets of Borg. Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.

good luck tonight

good luck hornets fans. looking forward to watching a very fast paced game tonight.

Rockets superstar is out tonight.

rockets are on a big role without yao. they haven't lost any confidence.

looks like they will make the playoffs if the nuggets don't step up.

this will be hard to win if west isn't playing. hornets played last night as well.

hoping everyone stays healthy.

the hornets really haven't played very well since the all star break.

I just put money on the Hornets, getting 6.5 points. Is West playing?

Its gonna be a tough game for both teams. West is out for the Hornets and you guys have your fair share of injuries with Yao and more recently Landry. Battier always does a good job on Peja, Paul will play well, chandler is the x factor for the hornets tonight him and julian wright who had the game of his life yesterday. The way i see it Chandler or Tmac who plays better at their respective postions will bring their team the win. Wouldnt mind seeing mike james go off for a couple and hopefully bonzi plays

Wow... I thought Rockets were handed a gift from heaven by having West out, but what god giveth, he taketh away. Landry out means Scola time, and I don't think that will be enough. I guess we will see.

I expect a big game by Paul. Rafer Alston should be such an easy matchup. Also Chandler has to depend on speed to outmatch Deke. If you let T-Mac get hot, he will burn ya.

Good luck on the game.

And once again, just wow... congratz CP3 on 21 PPG, 11 APG, 2.7 SPG debut tonight.

Good luck for the game guys.

So, West is out?

good game guys

Rafer Alston: "You're alive right now!"

tough loss.... The rest of the way won't be easy for the Hornets

Good game guys, good luck the rest of the season.

GG guys, CP3 is an absolute monster and the best PG in the league. He's easily in the Top 3 of MVP candidates right now.

I didn't even watch this game but how the h*ll did I know Rafer Alston would yet get into again with a Hornet player? I remember one game last season he and Desmond Mason got ejected early in the game because Rafer was talking sh*t and he obviously thought Mason was going to back down.

Throughout the game, it appeared Rockets guard Rafer Alston had a personal rivalry against Paul and center Tyson Chandler, with trash talking occurring throughout the game.

When the game ended, Chandler and Alston exchanged words at center court before both walked away.

"Rafer, I wish I could be half as good one of these days in the NBA, because he thinks he's so great," Paul said. "I figure if you can play, you can let your game do it. But Tracy was unbelievable."

So looking at the boxscore I'm guessing Tracy let his game speak for him but I don't guess Rafer could that.

What the hell man? I watch the Hornets very, very often and I can't say who else the Hornets argue with more than Rafer effing Alston. And most times it happens when they play in Houston. Silly.
