    Rockets need a somewhat comfortable 8-10 pt win. Show them we're better from the tip. No slow starts and finish in the 4th.

    I think the Rockets continue their inconsistency, and pull out the win, playing like a team with a collective brain. In other words, the opposite of how they played last night.

    We need a defensive Chucky Brown type defender to hold guys like Randolph instead of weak foreign players like Motiejunas. Our bench needs to be tough guys that can hold the game intact until the starters get back in. If the starters are crap then that's a whole different problem.

    It's going to be harder on the road, and Parsons is less likely to repeat his performance. Time for Dwight and Harden to get going. If the shots aren't going down, keep on getting in the paint and drive to the basket. Help defense will be very important in order to limit Gasol and Zach. Can't let the Grizzlies have too many open shots too.

    If we can keep it close, we might steal a win.
    Go Houston Rockets!

    We win 88 to 87, Parsons hits 12 threes in the third quarter.

    The Griz are going to pack the paint again. The Rox better bring their mid range game because their three point shooting is not reliable right now.

    I remember when the schedule came out, I had thought it was a typo. It was a "Wait... what?!?" moment. This is gut check time for our How-Hard combo. Let's roll guys! RED NATION!

    Really bad matchup tbh. Every time we have played them Zbo gets away with so many offensive fouls and they don't even let Dwert breathe on anyone.

    Sometimes you get a feeling in your gut about a game and my gut tells me like last night this game will be close and come down to the last few possessions to determine a winner. Hope the Rockets come out on top this time.

    They have no midrange game or plays for the shot. The only midrange they get are iso low % shots.
