Houston also lost 109-97 in Memphis on Dec. 8, but played that game without Artest and McGrady. The team had won eight of its previous nine against the Grizzlies.

The Grizzlies could get another boost Wednesday with the potential return of Darko Milicic, who has missed the last 18 games with a broken hand. The former No. 2 overall pick had shown some improvement before the injury, reaching double figures in points in five of his last seven games.

The Rockets need to come out aggressive in this game and need to continue that intensity throughout the game. We should win this game fairly easy imo. We need to play good perimeter defense and Yao needs to be aggressive down low. Marc Gasol usually gives him trouble though.

I haven't been able to post much at all for the past 6 weeks. I've got a full plate on my hands with school, work, and my recently first born son.

LETS GO ROCKETS !!

Road back-to-back, coming up against a young athletic team = spells trouble for the Rockets.

Grizz also just snapped a horror losing streak against the Wizards, a team that we couldn't even beat.

I still think we get an unconvincing win out of tonight.

Don't take the Grizzlies too lightly. Marc Gasol usually does a good job defending Yao. Rockets need to find other ways to beat them.

The refs are letting a lot of contact go inside early.

Bad fouls (both of them) by Yao.

wow I never thought Rafer would lead this team in scoring

This is not the first game our defense has looked awful against this team. It happened in December too.

Rockets bench not contributing much and the main reason for rockets falling behind

This is McGrady's value. You take him out, we go down by double digits. He comes back, and it's a two point game.
