    We need a blowout...

    1) we're better
    2) we're @home
    3) Pelicans are playing 2nd night of a B2B
    4) our next game is 2nd of B2B (4th in 5 nights)- starters need rest

    Blowout please! Rockets need early effort... have the starters sit most of the 2nd half

    Calm down bro, Jrue is a All-Star PG. Like he cares if Bev went ham on him in a preseason game. You know, how we dominated Indiana in preseason, look how that turned out.

    Definitely need a blowout. 4th game in 5 nights on the road is almost an automatic loss, but with short mins tomorrow and with Russ out maybe not.

    Sit AB. Canaan backing up Lin should be enough.

    Look for TJ to go beast mode against his former teammate: unibrow

    LOL, how are you going to post this B2B?


    The fact they were former teammates could be good, could be bad....

    stay tuned

    Having the game unfold like tonight vs. Phoenix did for GSW would be great. Put the game away in the 3rd, don't allow any of the starters to exceed ~22-24 minutes, and empty the bench so the reserves have a chance to get their legs under them in case we need 'em on Sunday.

    But this is the Rockets we're talking about, so.... who am I kidding? I'd love it if they could make a fool of me, tho.

    If our backcourt plays like the best backcourt in the NBA (like some periods last year), why not?

    Ok, now you guys can start with the homer argument :grin:

    Tomorrow is showtime for the frontcourt. If preseason was any indication, containing The Brow will be the key.

    One day rest should help the team and hope the starters don't have to play extended minutes with Thunder game coming up the next night.

    Would love an early blow out so we can rest the starter for the B2B, but has the Unibrow ever been blown out? He's pretty good.

    And because we can't guard the perimeter, that Ryan Anderson can pull a JJ Redick/James Anderson on us. And we know how those games turned out.

    I think Rockets win, but not without a fight.
