    8 man rotation? Nene doesn't play b2b and Anderson, Wright and jj isn't playing. Gonna b rough on a b2b but I believe we can do it. This season rockets r thirsty.

    Tough B2B. I thought MDA might have had his best game of the year distributing minutes in that OKC game. I love how the Rockets are playing for each other, happy with each other’s success.

    I’m sure we will get Milwaukee’s best effort (though they've been playing pretty bad of late). The last time we saw them (in December) they shot the ball pretty well, but our team D is much improved since then. Also, Clint didn't play in that game.

    Athletic team on a B2B. I would say scheduled loss but this team is special so who knows.

    Also, first.

    Stop giannis antetetopounko to stand a chance.
    Greek freak bows to the mighty rockets in the end.

    This and the Raptors game were my danger games. Super long athletic team with great defense can bother us with tired legs.


    Harden and Giannas battle will be the key. Harden might need to be aggressive tonight to attack their long defenders early to get them into foul trouble because of you let the young super athletic bucks get comfortable they can beat us.

    Nene should play, he barelly saw the court yesterday. Anyway, we have Black to face the Thong Maker, it's at least a nine man rotation. I'd say we win by double digits, big game from James 2night.

    Tough back to back, but Milwaukee isn’t THAT good. I think it’s a 50/50 game really, but expect to see gnashing of teeth in the first half due to sloppy play.

    Not sure why it would be an 8 man rotation. Black will play backup center minutes instead of Nene. The other reserves will be EG, Green, and Luc just like last night. So 9 players will be utilized again,

    Harden will need to be aggressive on offense, I do think that the Bucks will be a bad matchup defensively, which might result in a loss. Slowing down the Greek freak is the key for us.

    For those worried about fatigue on a B2B, the Bucks had yesterday off, but this is still their 3rd game in 4 nights. So hopefully lack of energy is somewhat evened out.

    What? That is not physically possible. If it's 7 pm CT, it's 8 ET, 6 MT, 5 PT. Milwaukee is in the Central Time Zone.

    Anyways, I BELIEVE. We'll be tired, it will probably be sloppy, but I think we get it done. 111-102 Rockets.
