    Man... that Alston/Brooks matchup is going to be HUGE. They've played against each other in practice for years and now they play against each other in a meaningful game late in the season.

    I look for rafer to drop a career high and go for 11

    I've heard he's a darkhorse candidate to make the All-Star Team.

    Hopefully they don't get smart and try fronting Yao with Howard instead of him playing behind. Either way I expect Skip to come out with fire against his old team, we still get the W though.

    lets make it #50 tonight so that way it can be 50 wins in the last 4 seasons. Tonight I believe talks will end about who is the best center. Yao needs to dominate. Rockets win with the help of Rafer trying so hard to beat us lol. :D :D

    Rafer + Toyota Center rims = 1/11

    Im glad that Orlando actually appreciates Alston. He deserves it. Our fans our horrible band wagoners.

    Rafer will have a good game today. But so will Brooks and Lowry.

    Lets send a statement today and remind them they are nothing.

    Im pretty sure they are going to dump him as soon as they can get Nelson back.

    Houston appreciated Skip. Moreso than any of his previous teams imo. Just cant listen to the fools.

    I'm hoping he hits his first 3 shots (hopefully from long range).

    Nice analysis but really, it seems biased. Courtney Lee is going to give Battier a handful today and I think Lewis will be a very hard player to guard without Landry.

    I give advantages of SG and PF to Orlando

    Yao does good against Howard because Howard doesn't flop or play dirty

    Rafer vs. Aaron

    Yao vs. Dwight

    The interesting match-ups, but sadly they won't determine the outcome. Scola's play on Lewis and Battier/Artest's containment of the other scorers will determine it. That being said, I think Houston/Orlando is actually a close match-up overall, so I'll go with Rockets winning 94-90 due to HCA.

    And how will we win? Well, to capture the description of another poster: with a James White 360 free throw line between-the-legs 2-handed dunk.

    should be a fun game to watch will be DVR'ing and watching later tonight I have my own league game going on tonight. It will be interesting to see how personal Rafer takes it, he always does the bad thing is that usually when Rafer is challenged over something he usually steps up and plays well. That was the one thing I will always remember him for. Hopefully tonight isnt one of his fortnightly 50%+ shooting nights from the field

    im just glad the 4-20 will be rafers contribution. He wouldnt help much with scouting 'cause he forced up a bunch of crap with us that seemed like it wasnt planned at all :D
