    The "exactly where is this team" test.

    A. Whips up on scrubs only.
    B. Better but still not ready for primetime.
    C. We are back, and ready to streak into the playoffs.

    I agree. Good litmus test to see where our chemistry and development in the new system is. Hopefully we show our improvement is for real.

    Yao will get his season low state again.
    They will give up after first Q.

    Landry DD, Hayes DD, Novak season high 26 points 6/7 from 3s....

    Go Rox.

    128: 92 Rockets win.

    Single coverage on Chris Paul, clog the passing lanes. Who cares if Paul scores 20 or 30? Don't let him get his teammates involved. And guard that 3 point line.

    Go Rockets!

    This is a very important game, Rockets will win if they execute like in their 5-game winning streak. You never know with the Hornets, they are quite unpredictable but have shown impressive stuff this season, the Rafer-CP3 matchup will be interesting.

    This game will even be shown on french TV (they rarely show Rockets games).

    This is a game where it would be really nice to win, but realistically, it will be tough.

    While we'll be at home, NO has been playing extremely well on the road and of late, and here's where we learn the value of having t-mac.

    We'll put up a good fight, but the win streak comes to an end tomorrow. Still, this loss won't hurt us too much in our quest for 50 wins.

    New Orleans 104
    Houston 93

    Yeah the Houston Marathon is tomorrow, so they making it like a full day thing.

    Anyway...keep Paul scoring...last thing we need is to let him find West, Peja, MoPete and Chandler on easy 3s/buckets/dunks, so we need to limit that.

    Get someone on JACKSON! I can't stress this enough....BJax will kill you off the bench if you aren't careful.

    Also, get Yao the ball early and try to get Chandler, Ely and whoever else guards him in foul trouble.

    We HAVE to make our threes...Have to...the Hornets don't allow many points, so we have to make wide open 3s at least most of the time.

    I'll say a win...close early (VERY close), then we kinda pull away late.

    Rockets 101
    Hornets 94

    ROX 85
    NOH 84

    even though that's my prediction because i'm a ROX fan a little bias, but i'm sensing a lost, without TMAC i don't think we can beat a legit team..hopefully i am wrong...i'm wishing that i'm wrong

    This is the test of where we are at, this is a MUST NEEDED win, if we beat this team, we could defenitely beat Philly next, and then next week we have T-Mac back at San Antonio.
