    I'd like to see at least one rookie this game.


    And 40 more points by Harden, of course.

    Really cant wait for the Toyota Center to be crazy loud (I hope) for the player introductions, Harden is used to a crazy atmosphere at OKC home games so hope we can live up to that here in Houston

    This will be tough. Aldridge is a monster in the low block. The key is the Lillard and Lin matchup. Whomever out of thoe two controls the temp better will have a big bearing on the final result.Harden will probaly have to face Btum who is a really good defender and will be challenged for the first time. Interesting to see how he plays.

    Seconded. I know it's fait accompli but I really wished we had kept Livingston instead. Douglas is a very nice guy and tries very hard, but his game is just... sigh! Hopefully he can at least get his shots back; I read that he wasn't too bad of a shooter in his rookie year.

    I dont want Asik, Harden and Lin to play so many minute, we need the bench to step up!...unfortunately that's like asking a pig to fly or Carmelo to pass the ball :( Good thing is Blazers are also on a back2back to they'll also be tired.

    He's definitely aggressive on defense :mad:

    this , i hope our bench step up big time while Harden and Lin only needed to play less than 30min . it would mean so much for the rest of the season

    Portland and Houston games are always fun to watch. Good to play another western team to start seeing where we stack up here out in the west.

    With how Ppat and Asik played I think we win this game and if Morris shows up again great.

    Not sure Harden can do that two nights in a row. If he does though then they may as well give him the MVP AND MIP awards.

    As a follow up to the comments about Batum, the effectiveness of his defense is questionable. For reference, this is the excerpt from Hollinger's profile on Batum's defense.
    The report on the defense of Portland SG Wesley Matthews is better.
    While I'm at it, I might as well post about Aldridge.

    Fatigue is something to worry about with our guys but for whatever reason Portland played their starters heavy minutes beyond necessity. Should be fun, I know they suck for the players but Aaa love me some b2b's.
