Yao Ming, Ron Artest and the rest of the Houston Rockets invade Phoenix tonight to battle the Suns, who are facing virtually 8 must-win games if they want to punch a ticket to the NBA Playoffs.

Today, at the team’s shootaround, Suns’ head coach Alvin Gentry talked to the media and touched on the health status of guard Leandro Barbosa, who has missed the last 6 games.

He also discussed dealing with Houston’s size, namely Luis Scola, who is a huge key for the Rockets.
