    Fortunately for us, the Rockets rested last night.

    Tonight should be a win, we match up better against the Nugs than we do against the Blazers.

    Nene should have his way unless JHill turns it up a notch. Excited to see the youth develop

    I think Battier will do a good job on Carmello.. I just hope Lowry puts in work against Chauncey. Lowry's gonna have to put strong D.

    Our young guys are gonna have to step up big time.

    I wouldnt be surprised if Rick denies to play TW. He's been that bonehead this year.

    Tough test tonight. Lets see how they respond to getting blown out last night before making predictions.

    -I doubt any rotation changes will take place on a back to back so I wouldnt count of seeing a TWill sighting unless a blowout occurs one way or another. Practices will be on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday so you might see him in the rotation Saturday or Monday.

    -Hopefully good Jordan Hill will show up tonight against an offense not nearly as confusing to guard as Portland's offense was last night for Jordan.

    -Aaron Brooks needs to get it going quick because he is the one guy that could really hurt Denver if he is on his game and gets a handle on the ball.

    -First team to play defense wins. Seems easy enough... not so much when you look at the Rockets 4th quarter defense this season. The Rockets need to lock down the Nuggets and find a way to slow down Melo and they could come up with a win efficiently.

    This is a playoff game. And should be approached with playoff intensity.

    This includes film study/preparation, pre-game rest, and keeping your foot on the pedal the entire game, etc.

    Coaches, starters, down to the 12th man should prepare and expect to win with their A game tonight.

    We owe Denver for last time.

    I don't think he's going to play him... T-Will got time last night because of the blowout. I'm not sure 6 minutes or so will suddenly put him in the rotation.
