Sixers at Rockets open thread 01/28/09

Philadelphia 76ers at Houston Rockets, Jan 28, 2009 5:30 PM PST

21-22
28-18
Enemy: The Dream Shake
Prediction: 102-93 Rockets
8:30 PM est
TV: CSN
Previous meetings: 104-96 W
Probable starters:
Andre Miller PG Rafer Alston
Willie Green SG Tracy McGrady
Andre Iguodala SF Shane Battier
Thaddeus Young PF Luis Scola
Samuel Dalembert C Yao Ming

The last time the Sixers played the Rockets, they walked out with a win. It was the win that got them to 14-20 and basically changed their season. Since then they've gone 7-2 and hope to make it 8-2  tonight.

The Sixers last meeting with the Rockets was in Philadelphia however. Tonight they will be in Houston, making it a another tough road game against a very good team. Mr. Shane Battier will also be in action for tonight's game. We missed him and his wrinkly head last game. He's not a big name, but he's one heck of a defender and oh yeah, he can hit threes consistently--bad news for the Sixers. 

Yao's been nursing a bum knee, but hopes to return tonight. Hearing that gave me mixed feelings. "Alright, great, we get to see what the Sixers can really do against a completely healthy Western Conference contender," but the words, "Uh oh, we're going to get destroyed tonight," also ran through my head. Then I hit up the local SBNation Rockets blog, only to find out that Ron Artest will be held out tonight, and possibly until the all-star break.

Talk about bad luck. The Rockets just cannot stay healthy. Regardless of who plays or doesn't play, it will be a good test. It's the Sixers last road game before an seven game home stretch.

For the first time in a long time, I'm predicting a Sixers loss (even though I picked them in my pick 'em). It's just a gut feeling after watching the Hornets game. Let's hope I'm wrong.

8:30 p.m eastern. Be here.

Go Sixers!

This seems like the wrong team for Yao to try and return. He sometimes struggles trying to run up and down the floor against Sam and the other running bigs. I remember him looking ready to pass out in last game.

Hopefully they can take advantage of Yao by getting in transition, becasyue we do not have an answer for him in the post.
