No one loves more to wax about Bonzi Wells, but I've done that enough already.

Seriously: Has any other guy in the NBA who played 50 games for a team get talked about by that team's fanbase more than Bonzi? I'm certainly guilty of overblowing the Bonzi Era, though I usually fall on the side of "Oh well, he's gone."

Just like we were all in seizures the last time the Rockets were on the schedule (I went out of my way to make sure I got tickets to that game over the summer), I feel we're having a collective conniption over this gala of memories upon us. Nevermind the noise that Bonzi might again miss the party, having sat with some back spasms virus he caught off McGrady.

Anyways, yeah. Ron v. Bonzi. Maybe. Woohoo!

The Rockets are 8-point favorites. I think Sactown has little chance of winning: Artest can only hold down McGrady so long, and Houston's defense is incredible. But 8 points is a lot of points. I don't know. With a gun to my head, take the Rockets. (NBA betting sucks.)

(I'm going to string myself.)

Early start: 5:30p. Hope no blood is spilled, though four quarters on one-on-one between Arthur Bonzarelli and Ron-Ron Cunningham will not be discouraged. Ey.
