He is in a groove right now his jumpshot and the Rockets need him to keep it rolling so feed him the ball. Rockets have another game to dominate and basically close it out. Dont let the Hornets back in the game and they are on a back to back. Mutumbo more BLOCKS!!! Dont give the lead on runs and transition D is a key. Also, don't give up the lead close the end of the 4th quarter. Contain Chris Paul's penetration and David West's mid-range jumpshot and the Rockets should be good. This game is an easy game for the rockets so they need to win it. The Hornets are tired from playing the Wolves last night so it should be a good game. <font color=""Red"">Luther Head hit some 3's!! </font> <font color=""MediumTurquoise"">Hornets:</font> Keep Tmac from scoring more than 30. They have Chris Paul back now so they should use his penetration to create shots for west, brown, and others. The bench needs to produce and Jackson needs to give them energy with points. Pargo is also a key player off the bench and he can shoot. Transition offense is a key because its hard to make shots against the rockets in the half court offense. The offense needs to go through Paul and Jackson. Not much else to say but good luck trying to beat the rockets. Cover luther head on 3's! This game is another must win game for the Rockets. These chippy games are what can get us above Phoenix and Dallas recordwise. After coming of tough win against Seattle, these games help our home record so the Rockets need to win these. Also, the Hornets played last night so its a back to back for them and the Rockets needs to use that to their advantage by pushing the tempo. This should be a great matchup for Rafer because CP3 is very good. We can see how good Rafer is on defense now. All the Rockets need to do is pickup their defense and not play Lazy then they will be fine. Hope for a great game at Toyota Center and may the best team win.
I am going to this game today. And Chris Paul is playing! OH YEA! I ma' be cheering for the ROCKETS BABY! I hope Tmac goes off!

Terrible game! Bonzi played decent, but the rest of the team sucked. BTW, WHERE THE HELL IN KURK SNYDER? In a game where we were out-quicked, out-hustled & out-jumped you'd think our most athletic player would've touched the court. I don't know why he's buried at the end of the bench. It's a shame, we could actually use some athleticism every once in a while
I went to this game and Rockets SUCKED! Friggin Alston had to talk too much and get ejected, but I respect him for having Tmac's back. Tmac played ok, Bonzi played heck of a game with 3 And 1's. If Rockets want to push for a better seed in the playoffs, then they have to kill easy beatable teams like Hornets.
