    If they play like they did in the OKC game the record will be 9-2. Need more halfcourt sets and ball movement, to many contested 3's and ISO ball


    Also, WELCOME ALL YOU NEW TV VIEWERS

    We will be behind for a large portion of the game, it's going to take hot outside shooting to pull this off and given the last 2 stinkers and Z-Bo & Gasol being able to destroy D-Mo & Black, Dwight is also going to need to show some toughness and make quick moves. I don't see either one happening, so it takes a miracle to pull this off.

    Will Mchale realize that is the only way we can win? Can he discipline the players when they are over relying on outside shooting?

    I put it at somewhere between 10 and 20 percent that we win this game.

    Yes, we are.

    B2B or not.

    Take the 4 points with 65 - 70% and put the rest on the Money Line at +150- 160..

    If we can pull out a W in the Grindhouse on the second game of back 2 back, this proves we are truly a championship contender.

    Have to believe our shooting is going to bounce back. That being said, I find it hard to believe we are going to win this game given our performance in the last two games. If we pull this one out, I'll start to really believe.

    It is either a good performance regardless of win or loss or a win despite a bad performance for me

    The first true test of the season since there were too many players out for the Spurs and against the Warriors.

    I don't see the Rockets winning this one. But given the absence of Jones, this being the 3rd game in 4 nights, and McHale having an infatuation with Cisco, there's no cause for alarm if they do lose(unless it's by 30+).

    Law of averages implies that our shooting will improve. OKC is ranked 4th in 3pt defense and even with that, we had a lot of wide open attempts. Memphis is 18th so we should even get better looks.
