    J.R. Smith drops 22 and 6, and Tywon Lawson chips in 9 dimes. But, Patterson locks down Nene in the 2nd half, and Scola leads the charge with 26 and 9.

    Rockets - 109
    Nuggets - 107

    I think we will struggle in future month but in this game we had a nice chanses to win because Patterson can defend Harrington who killed us in last game with Nuggets

    T-Will looked pretty good last night even though it was in garbage time, maybe that'll make RA perhaps a little more inclined towards giving him some pt, especially against Denver, a team with so many offensive weapons.

    As optimistic as I try to be, I don't see us winning this game, Carmelo's back for the Nuggets, they've been playing better ball than us recently, and with the way AB struggled with Patty Mills (whom I didn't know existed before last night) I think Ty Lawson will have a field day with AB. Battier will do decent on Melo and Kyle will do likewise on Billups, but I can see Al Harrington having another big game against us.

    If we can rebound, shoot at least 45% and do decently on their superstars, then we'll have a decent shot at winning.

    T-Will has 20-10-10 Triple Double then tears his ACL.

    we have to win these types of road games if we want to make a push for more than just an 8th seed. and melo just played a really poor offensive game after a layoff. hopefully he continues that.

    I knew January was "come back to earth" time, so we are about to see how bad it is going to be, OR if the Rockets RISE to the occasion. If they play like they did last night, it is going to be a very long month.

    Hoping for a W. Brooks need to rest his ankle instead limping around the court, give his minutes to TWill. Second unit PatP, Lee, TWill, Bud, Miller.

    The Lakers couldn't do it, Miami couldn't do it, the Mav couldn't do it, Spurs couldn't do it, the Nuggets early couldn't do it, we have the worst game so far last game and Portland couldn't do it, no team this year have been able to do it, but for some reason this same Nuggets team a middle of the road Nugget team will win by 35 pts?????

    I'm sorry but I didn't know negative fans will turn delusional negative. So because I'm a positive fans then let me be a delusional positive fan and said Houston by 35 pts.

    If CBud continue his hot shooting then no TWill, if Bud really struggles, TWill might get some minutes.

    Talked to T will today, been a buddy of mine since our days at louisville. Said dont expect him to play any minutes tonight, Daryl told him he was in the teams future plans and expects to see minutes as the season goes on.
