    Less ISOs, more ball movement. That's how the Rockets usually destroy the Nuggets. Hopefully, Harden doesn't chuck up a bunch of shots if he doesn't start out hot and just lets the other guys going, and hopefully, D'Antoni plays his bench more as long as they're not blowing leads.

    Would like PJ to have a very very very very good game. Also a win too. Can't afford to lose this one.

    Rebounds is the key. As long as we don't lose that battle, we win 90% of the time.

    PJ needs fewer minutes.

    as much as people disliked Ryno last season his size was useful coming off the bench. He may not have been a good defender but he was big enough to be able to box out and get rebounds for this team. And of course spreading the floor. Its a shame he never got his confidence back with his shot he was still useful to this team in a lot of ways. He just couldn't be played in certain matchup (GSW) where his foot speed would have been exploited. Having Ryno gave Tucker though more minutes on the bench since Ryno was a legit PF coming off the bench. Right now the only guy who probably is off the bench is Chriss which is a complete joke.

    He isn't even playing for Phoenix now is he?

    Getting rid of MCW and a boring win over the Nuggets. It's gonna be a good day. Go Rockets!

    Time to get the REBOUNDING back on track. As bad as the Rockets shot against the Blazers on the road....if they would have taken care of the rebounding, they could have won that game.

    Capela needs to out run Jokic. He needs to win that matchup and not allow Jokic to dominate like Nurkic did for the Blazers.

    Jokic is a bigger threat than Nurkic. It'll be hard to contain him. He can pass, finish inside, and shoot threes. How do you limit someone like that?

    jokic hasn't had huge games against hou in their recent meetings. hou has done a really solid job of limiting his impact to what he does to alot of other teams
