PrintThe Rockets square off against the Kings tonight, in what may be the last game the Rockets play at Arco Arena or in Sacramento. The Kings are getting a raw deal here, and the Maloofs (Malooves?) are just being punks. I know it's their team and all, but this sucks.
And it makes you wonder: if the Kings win that series against the Lakers and are able to hold on to more pieces, does this team ever move? Thanks again, David Stern.
The Kings almost upset the Jazz in SLC two nights ago. They took the game to overtime but too much Al Jefferson was their downfall. Hopefully a Rocket can play the part of Big Al tonight.
Finally, this "trip" as I call it is in game 2 (of 9). After tonight the Rockets head to Phoenix to face the surging Phoenix Suns, who are fighting for a spot just like us. Unfortunately, they'll be rested, which sucks. But it all comes back next week when the Suns have to travel to Houston after facing Orlando in Phoenix the night before.
Pretty much every other team ahead of the Rockets besides Phoenix is in action tonight. Portland plays in Orlando against the Dwight Howard-less Magic. Utah heads to New York, New Orleans is in Chicago, and Memphis gets OKC at home.
Matchups will be basic today. I had a test and my brain hurts. Sound off in the comments though. Please.
PG: Kyle Lowry vs. Beno Udrih:
Udrih has stepped in for Tyreke Evans and has played exceptionally well.
Still, he's no Tyreke Evans
Advantage: Rockets
SG: Kevin Martin vs. Marcus Thornton:
Jermaine Taylor was starting, but once Thornton got the hang of the offense he got to start. He played well against Utah, and can shoot the deep ball.

Advantage: Rockets
SF: Chase Budinger vs. Donte Greene:
Omri Casspi is day-to-day, so I assume Greene gets the call.
Wow. The Rockets flip Greene to the Kings for Artest. We worry that we've compromised the future of our shooting guard position, and now Chase is filling in better than Ron or Donte could. On offense, at least.
Advantage: Rockets
PF: Luis Scola vs. Jason Thompson:
I think Luis is better. He should have his way inside.
Advantage: Rockets
C: Chuck Hayes vs. DeMarcus Cousins:
I don't think I want to mess with Chuck Hayes and not give him the advantage. He will "mess" me up.
Advantage: Rockets
---
Bench:
Kings: Jermaine Taylor, Samuel Dalembert, Francisco Garcia, Pooh Jeter, Darnell Jackson
Rockets: Goran Dragic, Courtney Lee, Brad Miller, Terrence Williams, Patrick Patterson, Jordan Hill
Advantage: Rockets-wow, all six advantages.
Injuries:
Kingss:Tyreke Evans out, Omri Casspi day-to-day
Rockets: Yao out
Prediction: Rockets will pull out a close one\

Clean sweep
Which means we lose.
I think the Kings should move to Seattle though. Those fans deserve a basketball team.
Me against the world is a mismatch in my favor.
They do but
If they have to move I think it’s better for the league for Seattle to have a team as apposed to Anaheim. Besides, California has to many sports teams as it is.

I'm looking forward to trying to get over .500
FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS FUCKING SEASON!!!

So what time is the game?
Or should I reference another sight’s preview?
Want your ass wiped for you too?
10PM Eastern.
In the garage, I feel safe.

If you're in the mood, it'd save me a hand-washing...
…and Blow Me, by the way.
There are a few critical elements to previewing a game. One of those is when the game can be watched.
If I wanted any lip from you I'd undo my zipper
So just save the reply. It’s a preview, not a TV Guide.

Brother, I honestly never meant....
…to appear mean-spirited. Just was teasing a bit at what seemed a simple slip-of-the-mind.
I’m actually a big fan of you guys’ work around here. Keep it up.
And How Bout Dem Rockets!
Cowboy fans...ugh.
If you're a fan of basketball, watch a movie called Sonicsgate. It's free, just google it.
Sure enough.
And for the record, one of the very many who attended that Cowboys Home Game, Week 3 at Reliant.
You had a legit shot to dispel that ’Little Brother Syndrome." Unfortunately, and after much ado, you collapsed in on yourself.
Same ol’, same ol’ little brother. It was fun, but get back to your seat at the foot of the table and keep quiet while Big Brother gets served first.
After Dallas' year you say this?
Really?

How's that preseason NFL Champions thing going?
Oh yea, you have the same amount of rings in the last 5 years as my Bills.

5 years?
You’re better than that. Fifteen years, is more like it. I don’t think anyone associated with the Cowboys has ever deemed themselves SB Faves. That’s the media’s job. And BD34, I gotta tell ya, I’ll take those anointments every year as opposed to 35/1 futures. Or 99/1 if we’re talking Bills Football.
I knew this would cause a backlash. Just defending myself a bit. And Game Previews should offer when to watch the very game….that they are previewing.
Let’s drop it and root for the Rockets. They’re playing their most inspired bball of the season right now. Besides, I gotta get back to listening to Weezer.
Also, for the astute reader
Main page, scroll down, left side, where it has the next 5 games listed, gives you the times and everything.
Also, I’ll take the Bills, no expectations of anything being handed to us, just passionate fanbase and guys who love the game.

I was just teasing about the Weezer...
…you coulda hung onto the tag if you really dug it. :)
I planned on changing it for a bit
I prefer my title anyhow. Got it from some Jazz fans.

I'm a Seahawks fan
No better, I’ll be honest, but yeah.

Hey, I was one of the many Pete Carroll haters...
….and it came easy living here in Austin. But I’m a big fan of his first draft, the attitude he brought and most importantly how his team responded come playoff time (like Week 16+).
And as everyone across the league prolly agrees, there hasn’t been many plays more fun to watch than that Earthquake run.
Good Luck to you guys.
