    This question is for people who went to game 1.

    I hate the fact we are always the late night game and have to wait two days for Rockets basketball. Yeah, I'm being selfish. :oops:

    In other news, hopefully Ryno is back tonight!

    If the Rockets don’t blow the Wolves out of the woods tonight, I would be very very surprised.

    If the timberwolves try to run the spurs defense on us the mid range will be there so chris paul needs to exploit that

    If ryan anderson can play and hits a couple 3s its going to help the entire offense get into a flow

    "Spurs Defense"? There were at least 17/18 open/wide open 3s that the Rockets (outside of Harden) missed, that defense was horrid but we didn't make our open shots.

    Well, the bad news is we have to wait another 2 days for Game 3. The good news is it won't be the late game on Saturday.

    Will be interesting to see how T-Wolves look to guard pick and roll. They elected to take the Spurs strategy in game 1: switch on the pick and roll and stick to the shooters. This let Harden feast, but I'll be looking at the fact that it opens up the mid range jumper. Combined with this and his poor performance last game, I expect a BIG game from CP3; look for him to be aggressive early.

    Everyone else: Hit your GD 3s!!!

    It is a concern, BUT, my gut tells me the refs are still going to be hesitant. Because since the move is so fast, if they make a call and guess at it and GET IT WRONG they will get the business for it. So, I think the refs would rather "miss" the travel than call a travel on a play that isn't a travel.

    At least it's not Brothers.

    I'm just happy we did not get him for any home games so far.

    Rockets W-L in games officiated by each this season:

    Stafford 5-0
    Fraher 3-3
    Lindsey 2-2

    Interestingly they all also have close season home court splits:

    Stafford 26-32 (-0.9 margin)
    Fraher 35-27 (1.5 margin)
    Lindsay 31-32 (1.4 margin)

    Two officials with losing home court records is a little crazy. Stafford's -0.9 home scoring margin is even crazier.
