    Anyone catch Griffin purposefully tripping Hartenstein last game, as he was falling, in attempts to prevent a fastbreak--one of those, "I'm falling, so I'll take out my man, too."

    You know there were other things that had PJ on short-fuse, too.

    For whatever reason, we always seem to struggle in Detroit. Should be a tougher game than Wednesday, but hopefully Blake Griffin doesn’t also go lights out again. Go Rox.

    Yeah, not feeling this one.

    Detroit will be looking for revenge after what happened last game, Blake probably goes off, going to be an EZ loss I'm afraid.

    I don't think the Pistons get as hot from 3 as they did last game, so the Rockets should win this one......should being the important qualifier.

    What’s more likely, Drummond shoots poorly at the FT line again or Griffin scores 19 pts in the last 5 minutes?

    The “for whatever reason” last year was because your favorite player — Harden — was injured in that Jan away game. You mussa forgot.

    The Wolves can kiss my ass at this point.

    I'd trade Chriss for Tolliver if they send us pick/s or Jones

    Its much more likely harden goes for 40 again and PJ doesn’t ejected than BG goes curry from 3. So this will be a win

    That was during an awful stretch for the Rockets last season. But they really do struggle in Detroit for some reason.

    If he is overheating, the medical staff can just have him step outside Little Caesars Arena for some air. I heard it is very cold in Detroit this time of year.

    Detroit borders Canada. Toronto is in Canada.

    Rockets making a political statement through their struggles.

    Yeah I mentioned it in the game thread. He was lucky it was hartenstein he tripped and not someone who would go off on him

    Blake Griffin has such a douchey demeanor.

    PJ revenge game.
    Gordon goes for 30.
    Gary Clark slaps Drummond with his dingus...
