Quietly, Houston has allowed the 3rd lowest field goal percentage to opponents at 43%, we're first in allowing only 41%. This game could become a very low scoring game but I see the C's prevailing no matter what since its at home.

Rondo might not play.
On the upside I will be at the game. I'm hoping for a good one.
I will be interested to see is Perkins can out muscle Yao.

Nevermind, scratch that. Rondo will play tonight according to Doc. Houston doesn't have a chance now. There is now way Alston can keep up with Rajon and Rondo will smoke him on the defensive side. Rockets' fans better be ready for a blow out.

Eh, the reason for the Rockets' dissappointing start?
They don't have much talent. Alson, Battier, Hayes, Scola, Wells... nothing TOO impressive in that group. A bunch of limited players around two offensively talented but incomplete star players in Yao and McGrady. Neither of their "stars" get after it on the defensive end. I'm not surprised at all that they're at where their at.
In terms of style of play and the big man in the middle they present some interesting challenges to the Celtics but there's no reason the C's can't handle this team. Should be a relatively easy win.
