Red and Rowdy

Toyota Center will be rockin' tonight, and not just from that group of zanies, the Red Rowdies. Rockets fans are hyped for several reasons. They are finally getting to watch a second round game, it's against the hated lakers and the hated Lakers played a nasty game a couple of nights ago.

Von Wafer's petulant display is behind him, according to both Von and Rick Addleman. Yao Ming is healthy and anxious to show the world he can bounce back from a bad game. Ron Artest and Shane Battier are battered, bruised, and boiling mad at the NBA's darling, Kobe Bryant. Derek Fisher will not be in uniform tonight, serving his suspension for having waylayed Luis Scola - who is probably also looking forward to a little revenge. For all of these reasons, I am picking the Rockets to win game 3.
