    Dangerous game for sure. I expect a tough one. Bev is listed as "questionable" so he probably won't play that means Wall can get off and do a lot of damage. If Ryno and Gordon are off on their 3 pointers we are losing this one cuz the defense is looking quite bad without Bev and Clint.

    John Wall finna show the world he's on Jimmy Harden's level. Rockets win by single digits.

    ...Feels a bit like a trap game for some reason. The Rox are playing well, but the NY game was way too close near the end, and the Clippers went on a damn good run until James shut them down. One of the team's obvious weaknesses is an inability to maintain that cushion when leading. Outside of EGo, the bench needs to play more cohesively, instead of waiting for James to come back in to gain control. This is where I miss LowKeyMT (Marcus Thornton). When we got rid of him, I was aggravated. He was one of the nicer pieces we had during a rough season. Imagine him in this offense...deadly. The guy knows how to score in bunches.

    Anyway, I'm excited for this one...they may not play much against one another, but I always enjoy seeing a college friend play against one of my closest buds.It gives me happy flashbacks to dinners of laughter and never-ending,off-court competition. When 2 sisters both had boyfriends who play on opposing teams in the league, everything becomes friendly competition...I've never witnessed more "shade" during games of Uno and Scattergories! (I quickly learned that Brazil never gives up...on anything :) )

    If Pat controls Wall and James/Trev hold Beal to around 20, we should be okay. The Wizards have been playing well lately, and they can be explosive at times.

    This is a win the Rockets must have. No letting down to weaker competition.

    Rox by 9, with another good showing from Ryan and Ariza. If he gets his minutes, Ne should play well against his former team. No bad blood, but there are some hard feelings.

    If that happens, I hope the talk with Harden happens right after the game.

    Any word on Bev?

    opposing pg's have been killing us since we no longer have capela to play goalie in the paint now. both bev and gordon have been giving their man extra space to stop penetration. wall is going to have a field day tonite
