    So no BJ tonight.

    That's ok.. I think we can definitely win this. My only concern is that they've had a day's rest and get to stay home while we're on a back-to-back game.

    I hope this time Rick uses our rotation wisely and doesn't overplay any of our major players. God knows what kinda 4th quarter collapses those bring.

    Grind out game. Two good defensive teams. Rox have been great on the road.

    We win 93-88.

    With West, you have to deny him the ball, and hope he's having a bad shooting night, other wise he might score 40...

    Last few times we've played the Hornets, the Rockets seem to leave him open and hope he misses. I suppose it's better for West to be taking the shots than Paul.

    A loss will drop Rockets to 9th again.

    I believe Hayes was starting last time we played them.

    Lets not forget that the refs stole the win from us last time against the Hornets. Lets go Rockets !

    If David West goes off, it's an L. We need Scola, Landry, and Hayes to play D like they never have before. We need Scola and Landry to make West play D. West doesn't like to play D.

    we still have doubters here?

    double digit win for the hottest team in the League


    this can not be determined - GSW and Denver both play later

    Man, we really need this game. All the west teams are playing cream puffs tonight (with the exception of Phoenix) so if we lose, it's out of the playoffs again, for now. I guess they were saying the same thing about us when we played Miami though.

    11th win will be a tough one. We can beat most of teams now but if we want to beat hornets we need our leaders contribute more. Yao will meet Chandler,a 2.16 huge guy, during last few games he showed his great defense against yao . T-mac may be against Peterson or his old teammate Bowen. We need him give more assists and breakthroughs.
    Rafer really plays well these days, but Chris Paul is a big test for him. Battier gonna take care of Stojakovic, another dangerous guy. Landry and Scola will defend their all-stars player , David West. Just wish them good luck.Go rox! Come on man, it's time!

    Not sure. I did see Bonzi's and Mike James' photos in NO's uniforms today. I hope that Jackson won't miss the game. It would be terrible if Bonzi goes off against us and if we only have Rafer/Brooks at the PG tonight.
