    Yes, to an extent. If Anderson regains his shooting form, the Heat will be on the backfoot.

    I don't think the Rockets have lost a game with a complete roster as CP3, Harden and Capela playing together are undefeated..

    Hate when this happens. Anytime stars are out, the role players always light the Rockets up. Need to play real well tonight.

    So opposing teams are back on resting their best players against us (Dragic, not Tyler Johnson!), since they mark it as an L in their projections... ;)

    trap detected!

    Now we know why CP3 was curt with the media recently if this is how the players feel. cc @Clutch

    Since two Heat starters are out, team should get a huge lead early on to let our bench and second unit play more. I just want Green to get enough minutes for him to feel involved (now that Rockets have the full roster) and part of the Rockets success since he is the last man in.

    Tough break for the Heat on not having those guys but other teams got the same thing when the Rockets were out.

    In some instances this game would be a TRAP GAME after the emotional energy used on that Warriors win, BUT after the game the players seemed REALLY LOCKED IN on the fact the Warriors win doesnt mean anything if they lose to the Heat. They seemed buoyed by the fact the roster is all together. It think they will roll tonight.

    Prediction and hope: Boring Win.

    Will see If Dantoni can play 10 players from now on for the rest of season. It would be nice to get PT for more than just 8 players, the benefits will be a well rested team for the playoffs. Go Rockets!!

    Has Goran even been particularly effective this season? I'm not sure that's even a big break. Josh Richardson seems the most likely candidate for a season high.

    hmmm good point. So I guess when they lost prior to the 14-game losing streak, CP3 didn't play. Wow......so this roster when healthy is undefeated :)

    He has been playing well and the Heat were pushing to have him considered for an all-star spot which isnt going to happen.

    I’ll be there again in the lower bowl absorbing the hate of the proletariat that doesn’t think we are loud enough

    Would be a trap game if every one of our guys weren’t saying how big Monday’s game is.(they know not to look past a team, especially with a winning record) Full squad locked with 10 in the clip....

    The talk lately has been Champs play this way and don’t let this or that happen. I feel good with what language MDA is using not only to the public but beating it into the heads of the players.

    Consistently playing at that elite level.

    117-102.

    I'm excited. We finally have a full strength, healthy squad again. With the addition of Green it's a ten man rotation. Deepest team we've had in...ever? Can we finally keep everyone's minute down?

    Heat have a lot of bodies out tonight (5 to be exact). Can't let one of their scrubs go off on us tonight.
