We haven't exactly been playing stellar basketball since Boston game. Houston will be motivated. Sounds a bit tight, but not too much, i'd make us a 5% favorite.

Agreed, but really I don't see kobe trying to do that, we have four seven footers and they only have one,
|
Yes but admitedly their 7 footer IS 7 foot 6

...Alston in particular might have to play a lot of minutes against Kobe.
"I know I can do the job on the perimeter," Alston said. "I think that's playing into my hands. But if he takes me on the post a double has to come right away."

-Hopefully we'll see a lot of that tonight. |

| Alstons ass is gonna get (bleep) up no matter where Kobe has the ball. Without Artest and Battier the Rockets have no one that come close to slowing Kobe down. |

I didn't see anything mentioning Battier out. There are quotes from Battier in the article posted above saying that he needs to stay out of foul trouble tonight. |

We've been doubling all year long, it's part of our new strong side zone. |
