    This is a real measuring stick for us.

    Bucks are a great team.

    The question is how rusty both teams are. We know the Rockets played starters in the preseason to get acclimated but will it pay off? I say yes! Bucks look shaky to start, rockets have turnover problems. Last 2 min Harden takes over and GA can’t get to the basket. Rockets over Bucks 125-120

    The Rockets never addressed the gaping hole at PF?

    Really going into this season with PJ as the starter at the 4?

    whatever.

    I wonder does Dantoni have any new wrinkle to counter that gimmick defense bud is gonna play on harden.

    I'm gonna guess not

    He's old, short and unathletic. He's good against some matchups but the likes of Anthony Davis are gonna roll him over.

    Hopefully Russell’s hand can hold up and he can be somewhat efficient

    Anthony Davis is a top 5 player in the league no **** he is gonna roll other players over. D'oh!

    If you know 8M players who can hold off 40M players pls tell the Rox mgt where these guys are available.

    I'm just hoping his leg is well enough so he can be good defensively again.I know he hasnt played defense much in OKC but I believe it was always a "will" thing with him as he was solid defensively when KD was there.

    Both Bucks losses last year were largely due to the role players missing a litany of wide open 3's. Those need to fall tonight.

    Harden needs to utilize the mid range and the floater in this. They're going to give him the lane.

    As for Westbrook...well...just do your best.
