    EG has been shooting pretty poorly lately. Has concerned me. We need to get him back on track. This seems like a good game as any to get that 3pt stroke going.

    The concern over EGs shooting shouldn't be an issue for us if we have the smarts to gauge which of Lou/EG are feeling it.

    Draw up plays for these guys and see which of them is making the most of it. It's so frustrating bc there were times EG wouldn't even get the ball even before knowing whether his shot would fall or not.

    We have the luxury of competing two sixth men against each other to see who can produce. It's rare both of them will be off.

    Trap game though. I'm getting rebounding scares.

    It also keeps Gordon from going 3-15 when he is cold, because Lou takes some of those shots away from him, and it's not a total waste of shots. Tonight I predict Gordon will be back on form, because he has been cold lately. Harden should hit some 3's tonight as well, because he has been cold from behind the arc as well. It's so nice to have so many 3 pt shooters on our team. Who knows, maybe even Dekker will hit a 3pt shot tonight. He is LONG overdue. I'm hoping we get enough of a lead that Brown and Wiltjer get to come in again. Go Rockets!!!!

    Ryno will not take a donut, trust me. I don't see Ryan Anderson getting a 0% against his adversary. We only lose because those refs favors home teams, or been bought by the Calpari's cousins.

    Don't ego and Ryno always shoot well against their former team?

    Anyway, just smash this wierd-ass team.

    Love the pregame quotes from MDA, dude's refreshing:

    D'Antoni also is scaling back practice over the last month of the season to keep his players' legs fresh.

    "We try to lighten up a little bit now, try to cut back," D'Antoni said. "Then, we'll hit it hard right before the playoffs and get back in the mode when you have to grind it out, hopefully, for a month and a half, two months.

    "There's no handbook what's right or wrong. I have no idea. Just try to go by feel. Different players respond to different things. We'll try everything. You throw spaghetti against the wall. Some will stick. We'll go with it. These guys are good. We'll just try to not mess them up."

    We basically need just two of our shooters to have an "on" night to get a win against most non elite teams.

    So one of EG/LW
    x
    One of TA/PB/RA/JH
    =
    Win
