Heat @ Rockets Jan. 17, 2009 30 minutes until tip

30 minutes until tip off and look what we have here, Ron Artest shooting around and mingling with fans. Artest shot around for 10 minutes and now sitting down with a few fans.

It was good to see Artest out and shooting around. My question is, where was Tracy McGrady? Not to pile on T-Mac, but it's a little strange that we don't see him around for the last few games.

As Artest was shooting around, I could hear the Red Rowdies making their way through Toyota Center. They really make an often quiet Toyota Center really loud.

We all know Toyota Center isn't the most intimidating place to place. It probably ranks somewhere in the middle, that's just a guess if you poll players.

What really impressed me was Von Wafer. He came out around 70 minutes until tip-off and shot around for a good 35-40 minutes.

Wafer played extremely well Tuesday against the Laker. He should be able to play well for the next week or so, before scouting reports come out on him. He'll probably have to adjust next week, but he should play well against the Heat.

About 20 minutes until game time, it should be a good game. If the Rockets hold down the perimeter shooting, the Heat shouldn't leave Houston with a win. Dwyane Wade will get his points, but force him into turnovers and the Rockets should be fine. FTY, Dwyane Wade celebrated his birthday last night at the House of Blues.
