    gotta hope the shots are falling tonight, but most importantly need to play consistent defense.

    From what I saw in the Warriors game, their fast break is lethal. Gotta get back in transition & Capela needs to hold his own against Gasol.

    This will be a huge test for Capela. Gasol is a monster at the moment.

    Trap game for Grizzlies. Mission Accomplished- Curry and Durant kicked out in the same game.

    Proceed with extreme caution, save him for the next road game (Philly).

    And shut down portions, please.

    If the rockets win this game, i will be amazed. I know im biased, but the grizzles, i just think,are the more talented team, we have more depth, and the rockets, in my opinion, made a mistake trading beverley away.

    But maybe i am clueless and taking the rockets for granted. How are yall going to match up with mike and marc?

    Gonna go with clueless.

    I mean, what matchup you guys win outside of Gasol?

    Don't tell me you think Conley is even in the same realm as Harden?

    We are going to throw 8 guys at harden. I mean i could be wrong, but people seriousky underrated the grizzlies this year.
    We got 3 quality vets for under 10 million. Tyreke, chalmers, and benmac. That is huge for our depth.
    The rockets are going to have to play some serious defense to win this game.

    Grizzlies are no joke & we're missing 2 starters. We're going to need a big game from Gordon & especially Harden to win this one. Like I think James needs to drop an incredibly efficient 40 tonight.

    I wouldn't be amazed if the Rockets won, but the Grizzlies won't be a pushover by any stretch. They better not take this one lightly.
