Game 25 Houston Rockets vs. Denver Nuggets, Tuesday 7:30PM CST
Denver Nuggets at Houston Rockets, Dec 16, 2008 7:30 PM CST
I have a busy day today, so this is going to be short and sweet (probably more crappy than sweet, but you get the point)
The Match-Ups:
Billups will own Brooks, he's too strong to be stopped by him. That said, Brooks will get his points, hopefully he passes well tonight
McGrady owns a big edge here.
Carmelo went down early in our last game, the Nuggets still won. With a full game from him it could be difficult. Battier will play some strong defense, but Melo is a big guy.
Scola is better than Martin, there, I said it
Yao will destroy Nene, it won't be close. No high altitude to harm him this time. Yao will be the difference in this game.
If any of you have any points of view on this game, feel free to put them in the comments, I'm going to go ahead and publish this now.

J.R. Smith destroyed the Mavericks last night...
He scored 17 points in the 4th quarter. If we get Artest back and we play good defense we have a pretty good chance. Too bad Steve Francis is out of shape…. “We want Steve”

We started the first quarter strong
But then kinda fizzed out near the end with a sloppy turnover by Hayes, then multiple lapses on the defensive end including a ridiculous 3-pt play off a missed FT. Man…
I'm loving Chauncey's 6 shots and 6 points.
Everyone questioned if we could guard him tonight without Rafer. Um, yes, we can.
This has nothing to do with the Rockets
But I just finished making some jambalaya, and it rules in every possible way
They are the greatest basketball announcers in history
It’s not close
They are doing the 4th quarter right now, but the online feed is about 30 seconds behind the live stuff. I’m listening anyway just to hear them one last time
He got close
And then…well, I’m not really sure what happened. He’s only a pure scorer, doesn’t do a whole lot else.
Rawn does not miss from the top of the key, by the way.
Nothing to do with the Rockets
But John Salmons has 20 of the Kings’ 31 points right now. Remind anyone of McGrady in his Orlando days?
I'd also like to take this non-Rockets moment
to say all of you that knocked DJ Augustin as an NBA player were WRONG.
Another awesome night 29 points, 7 assists
This has been a magnificent game. Two high quality teams going right at each other and playing good ball.
Yao has been superb tonight. Dominant and controlling the paint on either end of the court.
Tracy has been fantastic. He’s changing the course of the game and doing without scoring, and making life easier for his teammates.
