    According to the Rockets site, it says that EG will make his third start tonight.

    you're right, rudy does like playing mach-ups. he also likes to play it safe, and doesn't take any chances with injury.

    for tonight:

    backcourt
    mooch
    cat

    frontcourt
    walt -bigger & better rebounder than torres; can machup with marion who averages 9.5 reb

    griff

    cato

    So is KT going to play? It would be wrong for him to lose his starting role after playing so well. I would like to se EG and KT start. If KT doesn't start is he playing limited minutes or just sitting this one out unless really needed?

    Wow, Merry Christmas Rudy T.

    Terence Morris started the game.

    I think the Rockets will win tonight with Morris and Griffin starting.

    Griffin is guarding Gugliotta.

    dfbreyes, why are you confident that we'll win with Morris starting?

    I like how Rudy took out Catp, moved Griff to C and put in Kenny.

    KT and Oz are playing good ball.

    I hate how Rudy took Cato out. He was hustling his ass off, and providing a defensive presence. As soon as he was removed, the Rockets completely collapsed.

    I think with walt not playing it would've been the perfect time to try kenny or EG at small forward.

    I dont think getting schooled by Jake "I'm from Houston" Voshkul counts as a good defensive presence (Im not referring to the whole game but a couple of sets in the 3rd).

    Morris seems to be going the path of Langhi, which is really unfortunate. Both of them have the skills, but neither have the mentality to actually make a shot or do something useful. Torres should have started in his place.

    I wrote that post before Cato collapsed defensively in the third quarter.

    Gotcha, but you knew he was going to screw up sooner or later.

    I wonder why Voskuhl even started the game. I know Tsakalidis is out, but Voskuhl is a scrub and you really dont need anyone to counter Cato (since he sucks). I wonder if Skiles was just letting him start out home - something I dont think proffesionals should cry about.

    Alton Ford had some okay minutes. I never realized how bulky he was.
