    Rockets SHOULD take this one. But the Pistons are fresh and possibly motivated after being crushed by the Dallas Mavericks.

    OH MY GOD WE LOST TO THE TWO BEST TEAMS IN THE WESTERN CONFERENCE!! DISBAND! DISBAND! KEEP YAO OUT OF THE LINEUP! OMG FIRE RICK ADELMAN

    No. Stop.

    We should be able to handle the Pistons just fine without Yao, especially if they don't have Rasheed and Rip. If they have just Rip, it'll be more difficult, but we should be able to handle them. Then again, last time we got comfortable that we'd beat a team, we lost to Chicago...

    If Sheed is playing tonight it will be an interesting matchup to see Yao take on Sheed.

    Sheed is clearly one of the elite post defenders in the game along with Yao, Duncan and Pryzbilla.

    I think it's reggie, not sure.

    Yao really needs to score 50 before his career is over, hey, kobe scored 81 and that day he was sick.

    Ron Artest and Tayshaun Prince matchup. We need to expose this. Prince is an overrated defender if you ask me, Although he is still one hell of a defender he is quite overrated on that end.

    He cannot guard the stronger players in the league, Just take a look at last year's playoffs when he had to guard Paul Pierce and 2 years ago when he was given the task to guard LeBron James.

    Ron Artest should just keep posting up on Prince, he should score about every single time unless they double. Artest is more key than Yao tonight. I do not expect Yao to have a good game, Sheed is too skilled of a defender to let Yao have his way.

    Prince is overrated on offense as well...

    It will be a GREAT battle between Lowry, Brooks (KLAB) and Will Bynum, Rodney Stuckey. Those guys are playing great for Detrot as our duo is playing for us.

    Another matchup to watch will be Wafer vs Afflalo. Afflalo isn't explosive like Von, but he is a strong defender.

    Prince is pretty underrated on offense, he can contain the explosive wings but he cannot take out the strong more balanced wing players.

    Saw Rip was going to play. If he does go, watch if he moves without the ball as much as he usually does if he looks limited they should have Wafer, Lowry run him around the court.

    I heard Rip is doubtful for the game just now on 610.

    Let's hope Sheed isn't motivated a.k.a he'll play like Sheed tonight. :D

    read on Chron.com sheed was out with a strained calf. Iverson out too. We really have to watch out for Rip and Stuckey, keep them from having a good game.
