What They're Saying: Rockets vs. Magic

-No one doubts Mickael Pietrus has played very well since missing a good portion of last season with injuries. But the thing you may not know, Josh Robbins of The Orlando Sentinel writes, is Pietrus is still hurting from that wrist injury he suffered in Detroit last year.

-Stan Van Gundy will be jumbling lineups throughout the preseason so expect a new starting five tonight against the Rockets. Also, Matt Barnes' full-court heave.

-Chuck Hayes of the Houston Rockets is in an odd position, Jonathan Feigan of the Houston Chronicle writes. He is a 6-foot-6 center with limited offensive abilities, yet the glue that holds the rag-tag bunch of Rockets together.

-Trevor Ariza has been struggling with his shot entering his return to the Amway Arena -- not sure how I should feel about him as a Magic fan anymore. Also, Shane Battier is still working his way back from a pulled hamstring. Don't expect to see him tonight.

-Rocket Buzz asks if Aaron Brooks is the team's future at point guard.
