    Didn’t the Rockets beat the Wolves by 18 in each of the first 3 meetings?

    This should be a win regardless of back to back.....but no reason the 18 point differential shall not continue....

    I miss Beasley and Josh Smith sporting their headbands on the court and bringing the "Boom" from the bench!

    Both teams coming off a B2B. MDA need to play Green tonight.

    We are in the middle of the toughest stretch of the year in terms of rest, 12 games in 20 days with 9 flights and 4 B2B's.

    We managed to work in a day off for Harden, but I imagine some tired legs are gonna start to show up in the coming week.

    Thanks, I'm aware of that. Both teams could be a bit tired. I hope our guys will win again.
    Go Houston Rockets!

    The T'Wolves had a 7:30 tip yesterday. The Rockets tipped off at 6. As bad of a B2B as it is for us, it's way worse for Minnesota.

    Another game with a team fighting to make the playoffs. These games are not easy, need to come out focused and TCB. Go Rockets!!

    It's funny. I think the Rockets are responsible for the log jam going on in the WC. We keep dropping teams down, and end up helping teams we previously dropped in the standings. It's a vicious cycle. This boring win will keep it going. Go Rockets!

    NBA needs to get rid of BACK TO BACKS games. No wonder we have so many injuries and half of the star players are burned out by the time the playoffs come around.

    I agree wholeheartedly; the schedule is utterly ridiculous. I am sure it is "greed based." It is actually dangerous for the players. Reduce the number of games and NO back to backs.
