    Ricerocket,

    The Chron article was written last night, and clearly says he was going to test his knee at shootaround today. It doesn't say for a moment that he'll be available today.

    The Rockets.com site was updated very, very recently. And as someone pointed out, they earlier reflected Rice's "questionable" status... but now they have him as "out". I think he's out.

    ricerocket,

    The Chronicle is not as accurate on the players as rockets.com is.

    They have a hired person to go to practices and update the site with current info for the media,,,,namely, a status report of players.

    I bet you that I won't start a bet with you this year, if you admit Rice's status changed today to "Will not play." ;)

    A web site is updated? How many times have you been on a site with old info? Maybe they didn't read the Chronicle... ;)

    Crash,

    LOL! :D

    I really don't know if I'm right or wrong. I hope the Chronicle is correct. I'd really like to see Rice get to play...
