    Yeah you look at the roster and on paper it doesn't look like a top seed especially in the East but that's what they are. VanVleet is a pretty good shooter, CJ Miles found a spot in Toronto after Indiana, Lucas Nogueira can you give problems on the front court.

    Raptors star DeMar DeRozan says James Harden "should have been MVP" last season and has eliminated any doubt this season. "He's earned it. The things he's doing are incredible. He should be a lock."

    Wouldn't be the end of the world. Their next 3 are very winnable. They can always start a new streak.

    But screw it. Let's just keep this thing going.

    Anuoby is out

    Hes basically the only one who can cover Harden semi-decently on that team.

    Should be an easy win for the Rocket boys

    OG Anunoby is out tonight. Huge considering the problems he caused for Harden last time.

    very well where exactly? i think PG/PF positions are a wash, as are the benches. they have derozan we have harden, neither are great defensively so just depends whose shot is more on tonite. center matchup will be interesting, hopefully capela can have a big rebounding game.

    when they came to houston we were missing paul, they had just come off a bad loss and were clearly the hungrier team in the 1st Q, and they got very favorable officiating that game -- especially when we cut their lead to ~6 in the 4th Q.

    i'd say homecourt is the only advantage they have over us tonite

    I dislike the refs as much as the next guy, but posting the referees does nothing, since nobody can predict the outcome based on the referees. Even having the horrible ones like Tony Brothers cannot guarantee botched calls, favoritism etc. I'm not sure if you are doing this for your own bias.

    I feel more confident that Rockets win now that DD has said we get the L.

    The players needed that.

    No, I have nothing against you, but noticed you only started doing it since a few weeks / months and just wondering if you have a bias against certain referees that you look to confirm this way.
