    Will be a loss, but I think we will compete this game at least unlike the Kings game.

    It should be a close game if we compete.

    Jones is going to get killed by David West. This is a game where we could use Omer badly.

    What's with all of the, it's probably a loss.

    There is nothing wrong with being a homer a little and believing in your team.

    I didn't know that he hadn't recovered. I am aware it is not a phantom injury.

    Rockets will struggle all night trying to score and get embarrassed in Indy. Oh wait, that was the Texans.

    I think it will be pretty close for the most part, but I think they have an advantage gaps at SF, PG and PF. I can see Jones again struggling against West especially in the post.The Hibbert and Howard matchup is huge especially on the glass. We will need to rebound well and push the tempo. Pacers halfcourt defense is scary at times but they are not as good on transition defense. Portland really exposed that.

    You can't compare individual stats alone. Indiana as a team is playing at a higher level than the Rockets. More disciplined and can execute when it matters. Just look at how they handled the league champ Miami Heat in their last few encounters.

    Hibbert is the best center in the league right now hands down. He can defend and put up points. At 7'3, there's no way Dwight can stop him. Hibbert will get his tonight.

    David West is arguably the toughest PF in the league and can put up big numbers. He will get his tonight also.

    If Lebron can't completely shut down George, who on our team can? George will be stroking threes all night.

    Bev may stop Hill if he's on his game.

    Indiana's starting 5 is as good as they come in this league. They're battle proven and play great as a team.

    I'm thinking it's going to be a loss tonight for the Rox.

    our biggest issue is health, not a team that you want to be carrying several question marks for

    Hibbert is not the best center in the game LOL,,Dwight has owned him since day one.

    DW is a beast at PF, Jones and Casspi will have their hands full.

    I'm predicting a win tonight. Our Rockets tends to play up to the elite teams.

    Oh yi of little faith, rockets will win game in the high 100's. Pacers will still be reeling from emotional loss to heat.
    P.s. this is just what I believe I have no super powers to predict the future.

    Dwight Howard is not really a pure Center. He's more PF.
