    With Gordon and Vasquez.....I think this is gonna be a close one unless JLin starts off hot and agressive, then we win by another blowout.

    This is the 2nd game on a B2B for the Hornet who just lost to Atlanta 95-86. Plus Rockets are at home so signs pointing to a blow-out.

    Hornets coach makes them play hard every night.

    hopefully greasy vasquez doesnt torch lin and harden can cancel out gordon.

    Hornets are 30th in Pace and only 18th in O Efficiency... provided the Rockets don't fall into the Trap and come out aggressive and playing at their pace, it should be another blowout.:grin:

    I reckon the NOH players are praying for some McHale intervention about now.

    Must win game here, gotta take care of business against bad teams. I suspect a competitive game but the Rockets will come out on top (hopefully) Also the Beard will go for 30+ this game

    I don't think this would be a blowout one.The hornets are much better than they looks,and now with Eric Gordon back, Rockets better watch out!!

    We have a match up advantage offensively at the 4 with Mook's ability to face up, take opposing big's off the dribble, and stretch the court. Although Asik may end up needing some help on the boards with that big Hornet front line of Davis and Lopez.

    Dont worry about BIGs, McHale will bring in Aldrich to play for 30min.

    Yup. at 6min on 1Q, pulls out Lin and Asik and bring in TD and Aldrich.

    4th Q, starts Aldrich as C.

    TD plays middle of 3rd till middle of 4th.

    How on earth could this be a trap game? Hornets are a terrible team on a B2B and we're at our house.

    We Harden up in the 1st quarter.

    We then start Banging in the 2nd quarter.

    We then start Asik Smooth Rollin in the 3rd quarter.

    And finally, we are Linning by the end of the 4th quarter.

    Cheers! :grin:

    i have a STRANGE FEELING about this game as if something ODD is going to happen

    not sure if its positive like Lin dropping 40 pts, Harden going off for 45 again or Asik grabbing 20 rebs but lets get this WIN.

    we should take care of business by crashing the hornets. BUT, inconsistency is the hallmark of young teams which makes this game unpredictable

    Our team is young but mature, we had only 2 losses to non playoff teams - Raptors and Lakers (can't believe I just typed Lakers :rolleyes:)

    I am sure this is going to be another double digit WIN :grin: Let's go Rox!
