    this is one of those days that happens at least once a year where I get up anxious and not knowing whether to watch the replay of the entire game or highlights only, only to find out the game is on the next day :D

    however its always fantastic when you unsuspectingly realize today is the gameday!

    More proof to the meme “the powers that be” hate us. Game’s on ESPN? Try to make the Rockets look bad.

    There is only one thing to do. WIN!

    We just need to hit our shots and not rely on drawing fouls. No excuses, just ball!
    Go Rockets!

    big game conceptually. An all big team vs an all small team. Sixers have been a tough matchup for us even when they were bad, never been sure if it was about Brett Brown coaching or their individuals matching up well with us.

    Individually as usual, intrigued by the matchups, 76ers can send Richardson/Simmons to defend James.
    We will make them beat us at the 3pt line.
    Capela vs Embiid is going to be good, but Harteinstein on his first individual big challenge is going to be more interesting for us. If he can be average on the post while keeping to be a plus team defender, he gets to keep the back up spot and allow us to focus whatever we have to reinforce the wings. Looking forward to see his minutes vs Embiid.
    Looking forward to see some Mac-EGo - Russ - Harden - Pj Tucker minutes too. Not sure if that's going to be our small line up, but I think that would be our more offense oriented one. Hope they see some time together.

    Rockets can neutralize height by running 6ers into oblivion and attacking with early offense.

    Foster and Lane just did the 12/21 Suns game. Rather boring, fair reffing.

    So they witnessed Harden going 15-27 and 9-19 threes for 47 points. Maybe Foster now realizes Harden is an efficient machine this year, and continue calling him fairly.
