Houston Rockets at New Orleans Hornets, Dec 26, 2008 7:00 PM CST
The Match-ups:
It is still Christmas vacation for me, so I apologize but these will be short.
Point Guard
Alston - Not the best player in the league
vs.
Paul - The best player in the league
Edge: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA , Hornets
Shooting Guard
McGrady - Your #2 guard in the West (in All Star balloting)
vs.
Butler - I'm assuming Daniels plays a little 2 when he gets back from his injury.
Edge: Rockets
Small Forward
Battier - Shane's feet were sore after that tough 4 games in 5 nights span. Hopefully he got some rest over the last few days and can come back strong tonight.
vs.
Brown - They need Peja back, badly
Edge: Rockets
Power Forward
Scola - One of my favorite PFs in the league
vs.
West - My favorite PF in the league
Edge: Hornets
Center
Yao - The best center in the league
vs.
Chandler - The best alley-oop partner center in the league
Edge: Rockets
Key Reserve
Artest - Until the Rockets play the Spurs, Ron Ron gets the nod here against every other team in the league
vs.
Posey - Good player, wish he was still a Rocket, but I'd much rather have Artest
Edge: Rockets
Injuries
Houston Rockets
OUT - None
New Orleans Hornets
DTD - Peja Stojakovic and Marquis Daniels

bullshit
Chris Paul still isn’t even 1/2 the player Rafer is! He said so himself!

West
My favorite power forward in the league too. There is nothing sweeter than the mid-range jumper. Over. And over. And over.

Good luck
Not that you’ll need it. My feeling is you guys are gonna smash us tonight. We start Devin Brown, we deserve to lose..

No Artest...
…Will be a factor for us, but hopefully Tracy shows up. I think our reserves (Brooks, Landry) are going to come up big tonight. Landry should be quick enough to go out and guard West on those mid-range jumpers and force him to drive.

What the hell does Yao have to do to get a foul call?
I know that I probably bitch about this during every single game (for the past six years), but fucking hell.

This is ugly
We can’t buy a basket. Or a foul. Like when Yao was mugged under the basket. With Chanlder’s arm around him. It was not affection.

"Not enough sand in his pants..."
WTF?

"Luther Head could come up big"
sure, in a crazy mirror universe (yeah, I remember that ridiculous game a few weeks ago where he got like 30 points, so what?)

Worrel has talked trash about Tracy three times now tonight
I wonder if he knows something

That T-Mac isn't 21 anymore?
Shit, we all know that.

You can put this loss squarely on Adelman
Seeing how T-Mac and Battier have been playing so sluggishly, why is Rick stubborn enough to ride out his starters in the 1st game of a back to back!?
Look at the +/- for today’s game.

Our bench all had positive number except for Landry who was barely under 0. Even without Artest we were still arguably better than the Hornets’ bench but Adelman wouldn’t use it.
How the hell does Adelman let Rafer back into the game when he was shooting terribly, when AB wasn’t playing badly at all and threatened their defense every play because of his speed? Why is T-Mac playing so many minutes on a hobbled knee? And is Luther Head that much better than Von Wafer where Head gets to play 12 minutes and Wafer gets a big ole DNP-CD?
T-Mac is probably going to get killed on the forums, but Adelman put him in that position.
