    Toughie toughie. I would not rush to play TMac if he is not close to 100% healthy. This is not a season-defining game.

    However, TMac's back is always gonna be an issue from this point on.

    To me our problem is Odom. Who do we have to guard him?
    But then, we have Yao that they have nobody that can guard him. We need Tmac to offset Kobe.
    Cant let scrubs like Kwame, Walton go off. Laker's bigs are very mobile. They will attack Yao in the paint on the move. Yao needs to avoid fouling them.
    Laker is a good team.

    Rockets must win this one or it will mean a big drop in their conference ranking.

    top 10
    Yao will school Kwame Brown
    then manhandle, own, pwn, kill, humiliate Andrew "the hype" Bynum
    btw someone needs to guard Lamar Odom and stop him from getting triple doubles
    the Lakers are bounded to 3 rude awakenings this week (i mean seriously, how many road games have they played? 2?)

    This game is going to be good and it's live on Channel Five in the UK, finally a Rockets game that is being shown this season in the UK, can't wait until tomorrow to finally get my first taste of Rockets action live without the great people in the chat room giving live play by play.

    The one thing I am expecting and worrying about is that Kobe is going to dunk over Yao if Tmac is not playing, we need Tmac on the court to stop Kobe from playing his game, if Tmac is not guarding Kobe, then Kobe is going to run the show I'm afiad.

    The incredible stingy defense at TC continues, hopefully. Here's to Odom and crew laying bricks all night long.

    I'm not sure how good the Lakers are on the road. Most teams, even the good ones, are hovering around 500 on the road. Lakers have a good record right now because 15 of their first 20 games were at Staples Center. They are only 2-3 on the road.

    Our home record right now is quite impressive. Even without TMAC, I think we will win this one. I'm wondering if JVG would dare to play Billy on Kobe. I know it's a mismatch, but so what, Kobe vs anyone is a mismatch. Billy might just frustrate the great KOBE (or foul out in a couple of minutes). Meanwhile, Battier's got to shut down Odom. Who else is capable of a big game on the road?

    Should be a fun one to watch, Get well TMAC!
