    It's gonna be tough without the Beard, but if CP3 has a big all round game, we can win it. Capela, Faried and Tucker will have to hit the boards really hard. Tucker has to make corner 3's, and a couple from Faried would be useful too.
    House should start instead of Gordon.
    Get well Harden, we love you. Go Houston Rockets!

    Naw I like house moving to the Gordon role. I told everyone on here Gordon would start the rest of the season way back. Again I was right...honestly it makes sense.we have a super bench with Austin house green faried

    I think this is good lineup what I hope is Austin penetrates more off the High screen in roll which will allow Faried to get the alleys. That second unit needs to operate a little more proficiently without CP3 or harden. I Like Eg with this lineup that you mentioned though

    Gordon is one of the most hot/cold guys in the league. When he's on, he is a borderline all star. But when he's off, he's an end of the bench player. He was on fire for several games in a row, but the last two or three he has seemed to cool off a bit. I wouldn't mind letting a Paul/House/Tucker/Faried/Capela lineup start the game, and then see how Gordon is doing off the bench. If he can provide a spark, let him play big minutes and start him the second half.

    Don't think we win this w/o James.

    If James doesn't play, I think we lose 100-89. Hopefully the Wolves don't feel too motivated being so far out from the 8th seed, but KAT has been hooping..

    Starter

    G Cp3
    PG House
    SF Tucker
    PF Faried
    C Capela

    I prefer to put Eric Gordon as 6th man

    He hasn't cooled off whatsoever. Over the last four games he's scored 19, 17, 22 and 26 respectively, and he's been one of our top three scorers.

    Wanna see Clint and Manimal crash the boards hard. More rebounds = more possessions = more points = boring win. Go Rockets!

    They SHOULD.......but guess what? The SUNS took it to the Rockets and needed *42* minutes from Harden to WIN. No Harden? No win.

    Rockets have ZERO margin for error in losses to keep the 3 seed.

    If Harden can play, he should play.

    Aren't the Wolves much better at home? They're also starting a lot of young guys lately, if Chris is ready we should win this even without James.
