    Oh yes we are! DMo will step up tonight. He has to!

    I think Casspi may also shine
    (I always said he could guard big PFs, and for some reason he always
    does quite well against those long stretch-4 shooters like Dirk & LMA)

    Lead official tonight is Eli Roe. Rockets are 1-9 in the last 10 games he has officiated......
    That 1 win though was the win vs. the Blazers earlier this season.

    Watch LMA get him in foul trouble. Seems like the stars always get the benefit of the whistle. But honestly I hope he has a good game.

    So our options are: Sit Jones and start D-Mo instead. Or play Jones @ 70% strength and risk further injury .... I don't like these options. :(

    And what "other" Houston sports team does that remind you of. Not quite ready for prime time.

    The betting site I was on (covers.com) had him as official #1 but NBA.com has him as #2, with Marc Davis as the lead. My bad.

    Chuck's mad because he didn't get a ring and Shaq is still pissed over the whole superman thing. They treat Dwight like the LOH treat Lin, lol.

    no prob…..in any case, surprising we have such a bad record with him….you'd think having casspi on the team would put us in a good light with a jewish ref….maybe cassell spitting on him back in the day still goes against us (sam is an eternal rocket)..

    These are the games where we need Asik.

    Asik or Dwight on LMA, the other down low to make sure nothing happens down there. Just like Dallas, these two teams run a very similar offense with their star 4s being stretch 4s. We can't seem to beat them the last few times we've played both.
