    u guys are high if you think asik is better then Horford...

    still like the rockets to win big though. Harden goes for 26pts 5 revounds and 8 assits.

    Well, like you wrote, they have Josh Smith, Al Horford, and Lou Williams, Anthony Morrow and Kyle Korver can get hot from 3, and Jeff Teague and Devin Harris can contribute at Point Guard. Compared to the Pistons, they're a lot deeper on paper, since the Pistons have a huge dropoff in relative player level after Greg Monroe.

    I'm hoping Harden doesn't have to score 37 for us to win.

    We will lose I think. Our offense doesn't have a playbook it seems. Just dump the ball to Harden and pray is coach McHale's strategy. Teams will start preparing for Harden more now. No bench either. Either Harden or Lin have to go ham every night for this team to have a chance.

    I'm hoping Harden doesn't have to play 40+ min for us to win.

    I think he plays like a PF.. Would like to see better rebounding out of him but offensively he's sharp for a rookie.

    Totally lost sometimes on defense though

    Horfords a good center but it's not like he averages 20 and 10 with 2 blocks. Last season was a career year for him at 15 ppg and he has never averaged double digit rebounds. I think Asik is a better defender and rebounder but I would tend to agree that Horfard is better. Having said that I doh't think its as clear cut as you make it out to be and this season may prove that Asik is better.

    Nervous about this one. Am worried about Josh Smith and the numerous 3 point marksman Atlanta has at their disposal.

    We're going to need a lot more help coming from Parsons and our bench if we have hope of winning this one.
