Tonight will be a good chance for the Bobcats to go with one of their most successful looks - small. With Boris Diaw manning the pivot, the Bobcats have a net efficiency of +11.1 in nearly 300 minutes of action. Overall the Bobcats are at just +0.6 so it is a very dramatic jump. With Chuck Hayes, Carl Landry, and Luis Scola in the post for the Rockets, the Bobcats will be able to put their best players on the court: Boris Diaw, Gerald Wallace, Stephen Jackson, Raymond Felton, and whoever is hot between D.J. Augustin and Ronald Murray. Should be a good one - the Cats need a good start to this home: 6 straight at home, but some tough teams: Memphis already came to town, now Houston, followed by San Antonio and then Phoenix. Can the Bobcats keep up their hot home start? We shall see.
