    Yes, this is a must win. This is by far one of the most winnable games of the young season. A loss here would be disastrous for team chemistry and confidence.

    That being said, they're going to struggle if McHale insists yet again on running Asik and Howard out there to start. It doesn't matter who the Rockets play. That tandem kills them on both ends of the floor and always spots the opposition a double digit lead in the 1st quarter.

    Please tell me you're joking. If they lose at home to the Raptors, there won't be any chemistry-building. Only finger-pointing. And McHale will be on the hotseat.

    The Rockets should rest Harden and play Ronnie Brewer some minutes in this game

    I don't expect most people here to have any empathy for him, but the one year anniversary of McHale's daughter's death is in a week or so. I wouldn't be entirely surprised if his focus is a little bit off lately.

    This season so far, Howard-Asik-Harden trio, while playing on court together, are averaging -4,7 (minus four point seven) points +/-
    In McHale's words, these are our 3 best players.

    Quit this TT bullsh1t

    :rolleyes: A reliable inside source reported that Morey instructs
    McHale to tank. Accordingly we trying to go after Ender Wiggins;)

    So Gameplan to Team : We are trying to tank here... (insert name)

    The Rockets are their own worst enemy. Unless they start to play team ball (like the first 1/2 of last game) and each players each thinking they are the alpha dog, they'll consistently play like crap. Some times it feels like they are competing against each other, not the other team.

    Raptors have a chance to win this game . They are more athletic and can run n gun just like Houston. The way rockets defense has been, I can see rudy gay going off for 40pts. Right now our only consistent player is Dwight so its gonna be tough

    I hope McHale put Parsons on Gay. Or we just have to hope he's cold.
