Our defense has been pretty amazing, and without McLazy we score a lot more points. The motion offense is creating opportunities for everyone to score.

The absence of McLady gives Von Wafer the opportunity to play:

20 minutes of action: 10 ppg, 42% from downtown.

How many board members have had sexual relations with Mcgrady. Seriously you guys are like obsessed with him, hes gone for the season move on.

Now on to the game and i think its going to be a great one. Chicago got embarassed last night in washington so there going to look to bounce back tonight. Im surprised at how chicagos played since picking up salmons and miller and definately expect them to pick up there game. The rockets need to come out with energy on the road which we have struggled to do.

Id like to see adelman mix things up a bit if we get off to a slow start even if its in the first 6 minutes. This is a very important game because the rockets need to get there confidence going on the road as opposed to only playing well at home. I think aaron brooks vs derrick rose will be the key match up tonight

This will be a tougher matchup than what it looks like on paper. I just hope we get off to a good start. Our D should hold up.
Tough game, but we win this.

I think this will be an interesting matchup for the Rockets.

Rockets have lost to ass teams such as the Clippers, Grizzlies (twice), Knicks, Bucks, Wizards.
However have beaten quality teams like Celtics, Blazers, Nuggets, Spurs, Dallas.

Same situation for the Bulls.

Yeah Rose is going to be a bit much for AB. Going to have to rely on some solid team D.

For those that hunt for the streams everyday before the game (like I do), the game will be brodcasted on WGN. I'm not sure how many people have the channel, but for some reason I have it, and know alot of others too, even if you are not in the Chicago area (I live in California).

even though Bulls are a bad team record wise.. i think this will be a good test.. we need to start playing well on the road no matter the competition.. Bulls will be playing for the 2 people that died this week so i expect a good game

GO ROCKETS!

Gordon has been on a roll lately, we need another strong performance of perimeter D.
