    We haven’t won on the road. Most of the Clipper losses were on the road as well. Refs make a big difference in home games on the West Coast. Clippers aren’t a shoo-in to get great calls against us, but the Lakers and GSW will get all the calls.

    I hate being without basketball, but that week of practice is invaluable to a young team that is still learning a new defensive and offensive scheme. I think the long rest was great for the Rockets.

    Because the line is -5.5. You account for about a 3-point advantage for the home team.

    Really hope we steal a game because this has a 0-3 road-trip written all over it

    13 pages already and more than 12 hours until game time. Gotta love how the excitement is brewing with our team this year. Go Rockets!!!

    Time to give those Cali teams a triple dose of defense, energy, and effort and take some wins.

    Have a feeling our scrappy D guys are going to make Harden look silly tonight. Can't wait!

    Man, I can't WAIT to watch the game tonight. Rockets have made me a fan again.

    Been years since I felt this way.

    The line has moved to -7.5 Clippers.

    The more the Clippers are favored, the more satisfying a win will be.

    Russ did us a solid.

    There may have been some shock value if they had waited till gametime to make the change.
    Now, our guys know whats coming.

    Thanks Russ!

    Dammit Russ? Really? Couldn't you have waited and requested this after losing 7 straight?
