    I'll keep a close eye on T-mac's back and see if he shows any signs on pain.

    Tmac's back should be fine, and I hope Yao takes his time and come backs 100% ready to go.

    Stro has a hip strain or something of that nature. He will not be playing tonight.

    too bad Stro isn't playing tonight, I guess I'll have to save my "slowmile stiff" chants for another game.

    I believe it will be on FSN for those citizens of Houston.

    Bonzi...juwan howard...Yao...Luther will not play. This is still preseason and Pau isn't playing so you can tell that grizzlies are struggling without him.

    Tmac and Alston didn't play second half and Battier didn't play fourth quarter.

    Novak and Padgett really impressed me. I feel both will make the team. After this game my prediction for roster is as follows

    yao/deke
    howard/padgett/hayes
    tmac/wells/novak/Rybo
    battier/head/snyder
    alston/lucas/vspan

    The game is over. Rockets lost 75-69. A very low scoring game. Rockets only scored 20 points in the second half. Very ugly [​IMG] Well it really doesn't matter since preseason games dont count and are only games to see who should make the team, but rockets played ugly in second half. They were once leading by 21 and still lost by 6. I hope this doesnt happen in a season game

    Nice to see Rafer hitting his jumper. I hope JVG got through to him.

    Novak was like 3/4 from 3pt range and 4/5 from the field. 12 points in 21 min. Very nice stroke as well.[​IMG]

    T-Mac 17 or 19 points? 5 assists.[​IMG]

    Battier and Snyder played great D.

    Padgett missed to many open 3s. Matt Bonner anyone?

    Azbuike traveled like every other second. It looked like he went on vacation to Mexico.

    Lucas looked great. He has a nice outside shot.

    V-Span had a mediocre performance, but like JVG, I like what I see. This kid is quick and fearless. He seems confident, but I think he was nervous and very eager to impress his fans. He should come around by the ASB hopefully

    I hope we lose all of our preseason games.

    So far I would cut:
    -Azbuike
    -Padgett
    -Sura DAMN YOU ARE STILL INJURED?! Retire already mannn!
    -Bowen
    -Hairyazz

    Yea thats 5.

    and don't worry Umair15, [especially] after last season, we should all know preseason doesn't mean jack squat.

    I think I'd rather have Padgett than Jacobsen.

    Yah, there we go. I knew I was letting a scrub get by.

    "gay is 5-18 thus far, the young man isn't shy."

    I guess we didn't need a 'star' after all.

    A couple things I noticed last nite......



    -Tmac looked i good shape and energized

    -Battier will be a nice addition

    -Rudy Gay looked exactly like a young Tmac out there, it was scary

    -Novak's jumpers NEVER touched the rim (literally) the guy is absolutley amazing.

    Only negative we have is an athletic PF. Behind Juwan Howard, we have spot up shooters and thats it. That might be a problem down the line.

    He shot 5 for 18 from the floor, in 24 minutes. That is scary.

    At least he was active.
