    I hope Scola can play, but his health is more important.

    High-scoring game.

    Rockets 117 - Suns 114

    Is this the biggest game for the Rockets since game 7 vs LA?

    interesting storylines
    teams that play very similar styles

    I expect Dragic to do better than Brooks, plenty of 3s, lots of charges, and Kevin Martin and Pat2 having good games (vs Vince Carter/Jared Dudley and Lopez/Warrick/Grant Hill)

    It would really reinforce our momentum to win this game.

    From here out they all are, but yes these Suns games are HUGE. I don't expect much competition in April so now is our chance.

    I'm hyped up for this game, but also very worried for the Rockets. We've been bashing Aaron Brooks recently, but I doubt anyone can forget how dangerous the little guy really is. Right now, he still is better than Dragic and will definitely hurt us....hopefully Adelman knows AB inside-out and can counter him, but it'll be difficult.

    Players seem to perform outstandingly well against their former team. ie Kyle Lowry.

    Jared Dudley is the danger man off their bench unless they start him in place of Frye.

    Dudley is a sleeper. Can shoot the 3's when set and likes to pick up the garbage for put backs. Rockets must box him out and close on him at the perimeter. Teams don't really pay attention to him and he usually burns them with all the little things.

    Channing Frye being out helps, a big that likes to shoot the long ball. He would give Hayes or Scola problems forcing them to gaurd/switch or cause a mismatch outside the stripe.

    AB is playing really well lately

    I guess he really did need a change of scenery, or maybe their training staff was just better at helping him with his ankle

    45% three point percentage in Phoenix is... ouch...

    AB is good, last year has proved it, he just needs a change of scenary, good for him, just feels sorry for him it didn't work out here, otherwise, AB+lowry could be a championship combo definitely

    I do not expect the Rockets to win. Clippers game part deux...
