    Hope Ryan Anderson plays in game 2. I mean, he is likely to be rusty, but better to get that rust off NOW, and be ready for game 3. Sooner to shake off the rust the better.

    If Anderson comes back, blow out. That spacing and pick and rolls at the top of the key will be too much.

    If the Wolves didn't beat us when we shot horribly from 3, I don't expect us to lose this game. (cross fingers/rubs rabbits foot/picks a 4 leaf clover/donates to the strippers foundation)

    main difference between Harden and WB

    Wb sees his teammates running fast, he runs faster

    WB is just a hyper-chucker anyway. Got nothing to do with his teammates.
    30 shots to get 30 pts. He's all over the place. I like his hustle, but not the team player James is.
    And James' teammates actually LIKE him. ;)

    Why do you think they made the shirts black? Now they just need people to wear them. Lol

    during the regular season, the Wolves were last in makes and attempts from three

    they made only 8 a game, and averaged just 22.5 attempts

    the Rockets averaged 15.3 makes and 42.3 attempts

    the Wolves can not generate the amount of looks nor make enough shots from deep to keep up with us if we have just an average night from beyond the arc

    in game 1 we went 10-37 while the Wolves went 8-23 like they usually do...they managed to keep pace with us and make it close game because we were so below average from three and nobody but Harden or Capela showed up offensively

    if we make around 15 threes in game 2, then expect a blowout

    CP3 will bounce back, he was HORRIFIC in game 1...that was easily his worst game as a Rocket

    we only had 15 bench points while the Wolves had 38, I don’t expect the difference to be that high in game 2...Ego was way off in game 1, but we all know he can get hot and bust out 5 or 6 threes or get to the hole and drop 20+ that way

    Butler and Towns had subpar nights, but they also got pretty good games from Rose and Crawford. Will Rose and Crawford have repeat performances in game 2? I doubt it.

    Let’s go Rockets!

    Rockets by 32. My 37 point victory seemed like too much last game so I dialed it way WAY back to only 32.

    To His Majesty Beard the 1st, King of Stepback:

    Sire, various Clutchfans and I have depleted our online gambling funds. Kindly win by 32 immediately, as we are in dire straits!

    Your humble cyber red rowdy,
    Don G
