    With a Sunday game against Sacramento coming up. Some information that might affect the game.

    Was watching the game between Utah and Sacramento tonight and Sacramento was winning big. Sloan had gotten kicked out as well.

    Then all of a sudden Webbers goes down with an ankle injury and Sacramento is down by 15. Not sure how bad his ankel is right now but will update once I find out.

    Sacramento closing in and down only 7 with 6:03 in the third.


    You hate to see players go down but hey I will take any edge we can get. :)

    Again I dont wish any ill will on anyone.

    No. They can beat us without Webber. Clark will step in, and a couple of the other studs will pick up the scoring. They're the type of team where injuries won't wreck them.

    I dont know, Clark has only played 3 minutes tonight. I still hope Sac can come back and win since Utah is directly in front of us.

    We will have a close game against Sac instead of a blowout

    Espn reporting Scott Pollard has broke his hand, out 6 weeks
    Webber is listed as day to day now,Injured same ankle that caused him to miss so many games.

    Rockets need to take advantage

    We already beat them once with Webber. If they get the ball to Ming we can win the game. Let's hope they play a good game.

    motion offense's destroy zone defenses regardless of webber's presence. A pass always beats a zone.

    The only break we could get in this game is if the Kings beat us by 95 points causing Steve and our merry gang of gunners to actually start playing team basketball.

    They beat us without Webber, but they were adjusted to being without Webber. Now he suddenly goes out, and Stojakovic has to cope with extra pressure. But if Posey can keep a hand in Peja;s face, then I think we can win this one, especially considering we're at home and are DYING to break their hold over us.

    Great - now Lawrence Funderburk or Gerald Wallace will have a career game against the Rockets. I hope the people who will be sitting next to me at the game have a high tolerance for cursing.

    btw: We crushed the Kings last game playing man-to-man. We ran no zone.

    Hey Digital Cable Subscribers! Guess what? The Kings game is being televised on everybody's favorite channel, NBA TV! Looks like we're missing another Rockets game.

    Rox get Wolves with a night off vs. back-to-back for Minn.

    Rox get 'rebound' game against Sac as they play Lakes Fri, Rox Sun.

    Both may be an advantage for the Good Guys.

    I'd like Dallas to fall tonite and rise t'mow nite while the Good Guys beat Sac for four-in-a-row. It'll happen.
