    Hartenstein will be the x-factor, tonight.

    last 26 games (since MIA fiasco), Harden is shooting 41.3% from 3. :eek:

    Gordon is playing. WB resting.

    He’ll have a great game, blowout, and there will be five threads about trading WB,

    and a drunken, bored FFB will leak into the GARM to start three between 1 and 3am...Best Rockets Team of the Decade. Favorite Cheesy Player. and Trade Deadline Haul

    not sure gordon will even play 20min tonite. but capela also being out leaves us woefully thin in the frontcourt. even with capela, favors would have killed us in the paint

    Let’s pluck the Pelicans. I’d like to see us start Hartenstein, although it might go to his head. MDA won’t do it.

    Welcome back EG. Need him.

    Rockets will likely blow a big lead at some point. Hope they pull it out. Games in New Orleans are always kind of difficult.

    Not sure how we stop them inside without Clint.

    Making open shots seems imperative tonight. Three's fix most flaws but they're tougher to make with tired legs. We'll see how ready Gordon is. Perhaps there's a Clemens and Ckark sighting. Pelicans are 2nd night too so that helps.

    Ok...so why does Russ sit on B2Bs again? (I ask this sincerely, is it being TOO cautious or...)

    Could really use him tonight if Harden isn't going to play and he gets more reps and familiar with Ego.
