    Your starting lineup:

    Steve, Cat, Moochie, Cato and Eddie.

    It looks like Rice and KT will be back Friday for sure.

    If I remember correctly, didn't the Rockets use the 3 guard offense vs the Pacers last year? I thought it worked well against some teams.

    That lineup should get Al Harrington some quick points. Yikes.

    Looks like the Rockets have a lot of confidence in Nachbar.

    Free Agent is right. From what I'm hearing, the Rockets will start three guards tonight.

    Why not start Yao? He is better than Cato even if he doesn't know the plays!

    When will Rudy learn......UGH !!!! I guess he is putting his 5 most consistant and healthy players out there.

    Between Indiana's and our Injuries there are a lot of good players on the bench.

    That's what I figure. Put your best and healthiest players on the floor.

    I thought Moochie was hurt though? Nachbar is healthier than Moochie, isn't he?

    With three guards, there should be lots of motion and lots of passing!:)

    I think it was Moochie's off-hand pinky and it wasn't serious. I heard that he said he could have played already if it was the season.

    So with Mo, Kenny, Rice and TMO out it is going to be a tight 7 man rotation, both Boki and Ming are going to see big minutes!!! YIPEEEE!!!!!

    I like this. Indiana is banged up and thin, this 3-guard alignment should allow them to run Indiana. Eddie and Cato should have a block fest. The key is the bench. Hawkins, Nachbar, Ming, Collier have to produce to give the Rockets some breathing room. I think the Rockets will win tonight. I expect our backcourt to go wild.

    umm, well it probably makes sense if you look at the roster but the 3-guard lineup is the thing i wanted us to get rid of the most. of course now they go and bust it out opening night. as long as this is only temporary until rice, mo, kt, etc get back it's all good. well that and if mooch starts tearing it up out there.

    I think that with Rice out, you pretty much have to start this lineup. Makes plenty of sense to me. The only other person with experience is Collier.
