    We simply can't afford another loss. That would give us 18 ... tied for 9th in the West.

    Pistons suck. I am shocked, but they really do. They are averaging something like 93 ppg which is pretty ridiculous.

    I'd love to say it is a win and at least it should be. But we suck on the road as well. Hopefully Yao is OK and Tracy is back on the court and playing like TMAC.

    Tracy will play either in Detroit or NY (Feign said there is a big chance he will play in Detroit).

    As for Ron, it looks like he is not gonna resume playing on this road trip. Most likely after it, at home.

    McGrady is either supposed to come back on this game or the Knicks game. He is going to be playing back to backs from now on and will not be skipping games. Anyways, WE really need to win this one..

    luis scola showed what he did at his national team when Yao left the game. He's not only a fighter, but a leader and can step up big. Shawn also can do it. I think that Battier scored like 28 points in the game Yao went down with Clippers a couple of years ago.

    If everybody healthy, Rockets will destroy anybody in NBA. Even if one of Tmac/Ron went down, they still have a large chance to win it all. That's how talent they are.

    Another tough game ahead with a limited roster. I suspect Yao will take this one off as a precautionary measure.

    Tracy...will be back, but I don't know much how presence he'll have in the game.

    I expect Wafer, Scola, Rafer and AB to do well in this one.

    if yao decides to skip this one would that mean we get to see cookie monster going for a block???

    yao might not play
    tmac might not play

    Praying for this to be the first game where everyone is together and we can actually start putting this puzzle together.

    If the whole team plays, I would love to see all these guys play tommorow:
    Starters: PG Alston SG McGrady SF Battier PF Scola C Yao
    Bench : Artest, Landry, Brooks, Wafer, Barry

    Who would you guys rather have the minutes, Barry or Wafer?

    even if both ron and mac play, doubt they will play much min. RA is still evaluating them.
