I hope this is the game Lin gets his act together. We need everyone for a tough March, him included. Plus our bench needs to develop some sort of a chemistry in very limited minutes. With that being said, this will be a win.
There's all kinds of rumors of heat backs and dodgeyness when it comes to exposure to the media. Dude is injured somewhat but has been injured so often he's trying to play through it because he's got his career to lose at this point. Back spasms...
The good news is we're deep enough into the season that these guys know every game really does count at this point. It's easy to go out and take a team like Philly lightly in mid-November and lose. It's a lot harder in March to act so nonchalant about a game even when it's against a crappy Magic team headed for the lottery. That being said, I'm not so much worried about the Rockets taking Orlando lightly. I'm more concerned that they'll be emotionally and physically drained on the 2nd night of a B2B after the win over the Heat. The bench MUST step up tonight!
Affalo and Nelson both day to day. I think it would be very...helpful if Affalo were to miss this game as well. He fits the print of a guy that would go off against us.
With Dwight playing in Orlando I expect there to be a lil buzz in the arena, could benefit us by giving our players some energy, or vice cereal..could motivate the magic to play a lot harder
This year Orlando has beaten OKC, Indianapolis, and the Clippers. The Rockets better be ready to play.
So which scrub will have a career night? How big a lead will the Rockets give up before pulling away in the last 10 seconds? How many turnovers will the Rockets have? How many minutes will Lin get, if any? Will Hamilton get a triple double? How many…...
Apparently they're playing a Dwight tribute video tonight. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...r-dwight-howard-with-video-tribute-vs-rockets
Orlando is a .500 team at home. 15-15. Rockets should win but to say they are one of the worst teams is kinda misleading when they are .500 at home.
1. all of the players on the magic are scrubs so it doesn't really matter 2. 25pt lead blown by our bench 3. 17 TOs 4. 15 min 5. no 6. ?
