    This game is on NBATV. Guess it won't be shown on league pass then.

    I hope the McHale can adapt and improve the offense, otherwise it's going to look ugly.

    On the other hand, if we do get some calls and a ref who isn't on a mentally unhinged powertrip, then a few early calls for Harden will allow him to blow the Grizlies up. It's pretty hard to stop him in full flow without fouling him. But Crawford was too busy peeing fire on the Rocket's last game to care.

    Post practice interviews from today

    Harden

    Jeremy

    Morris

    McHale

    Like I said, they certainly say the right things and seem aware of the mistakes they made against Denver. Even if they do lose, which I don't think they will, it'd be nice to see some improvement in offense like cutting and moving without the ball, instead of ... y'know just stand there :)

    This is going to be a win because it's on the road and the Rockets play better on the road, book it!!!

    We won't by wearing our white home blouses. The red jerseys look much better.

    Most likely will be another loss, sigh. I'd be very surprised if we somehow pull this out. I just don't see it though, given how we've played the last couple games.

    Factor in this game is the team's shooting percentage. The last two games the team shot around 36% and were still in the games. I am sure it will be much better in this game. Rockets Win!!

    Maybe this guy can help us beat someone. He already has the gear.

    With stubborn Mchale, I doubt it will be a win :(

    If Lin plays aggressive and scores 18+ we will win. If he continues the fanny ball he's been playing until the 4th quarter of every game, we will lose again. No surprise that our best game was against the Hawks where Lin scored 21.

    Apart from SG, Memphis is better than us at every position.

    Mike Conley = Lin (being generous to Lin here )
    Harden > Tony Allen
    Rudy Gay > Chandler Parsons
    Zach Randolph > Pattersons
    Marc Gasol > Omer Asik

    In short, we suck.

    Limit the ball to Harden, his first best two games is just a fluke! He's good but not all that IMO. This is a team sport and not a one person team. There's no way we can L 3 games in a role. Go Rockets.

    That is too bad. Why do they put it on NBATV?

    I can't watch it with my broadband pass :confused:

    Hopefully we will not get humiliated. The thing with that Memphis team is that it is what it is. Unlike us they do not really have any cap space going forward and this is how they are going to look for the considerable future. But they have built a very good team. Their front court is really good with Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol. Hopefully we won't get blown out. All I want to see in this game is for McHale and the players to learn from their past mistakes. Better ball movement. Better picks and screens.

    This game will tell us where we are anyways and will also be a good indication of where we will ultimately end up. We are in what is probably the toughest division in the league. The Suns, Mavs and Grizzlies will all likely end up better than us. This is what the western conference is like though. One tough game after another.
