We better win this game.

I think we win the next 2 games. Houston is a very winnable game.

I still remember T-Mac dropping 62 on this same group of players. What have we done to change that? Added Jamison? Well make that 65 for T-Mac then. The Rockets also have some shooters now, so I can't see us winning that game with our defense.


The Hornets game, we should win that by double digits though.

10-40 .. ouch. BD is sorely missed in NO.

Different team different attitide. Not about to be scared that Tmac is gonna get 60. Jamison might get 30 and Arenas could get his usual 30.

Have you seen the Rockets play. They play so slow we could easily run them outta the gym. They have very poor rebounding another strength of ours. I like our chances.

We could lose but I don't think the Rockets should strike fear in our club we are better than they are.

Tmac isn't playing all that aggressively this season and he's not attacking the basket as much. Yao has plateaued. Sura is playing good but Arenas will wear him out.

I think the Wizards needs to focus on winning the New Orleans game first before thinking about Houston. Overlook the Hornets and it will be a loss, Wizards should win but its not a guaranteed victory. Hornets havent been playing that bad lately, their at Home and the Wizards certianly is not the greatest road team.

Is Arenas nursing an injury? I read elsewhere that he might not play tomorrow, is that right?

[MJG]

The Hornets are probably going to be without Nailon and PJ tonight in addition to Baron. I think it's a plenty winnable game even with all those guys out there, but without them, we sure as heck better not lose. I'll call around a 10 point win, one which the score is semi-close but it feels like they're never really in the game.

Haven't heard anything myself. He did bang his elbow in the 3rd quarter of the last game, but he seemed to shake it off and was fine after. Checked around a bit and can't find anything alluding to him being out, so I'd assume he's in.

[adarsh1]

we gotta guard dickau...can't leave him open outside, he almost beat the magic by himself

Apparently Gilbert is indeed questionable for this game because of his elbow.


And YES, the Hornets can definetly beat us if Gilbert isn't playing. They have won 2 out of their last 3 including a win in Portland.
