    With the way Houston has been playing it's better for them to have a brutal schedule, keeps everyone alert and in sync every game. OTH, having long days off results in horrible starts for the team which usually means a lose as the game is decided by the time the Rox got warmed up.

    Is Bev playing tonight then? I think I heard them say on the broadcast (vs SAS I believe it was) he would suit up against OKC

    I just hope Bev is brings his jumper and has a defensive renaissance this year. We will be scary If he starts knocking down threes with Eric Gordon coming off the bench.

    MDA said Thursday. I suppose first game against Westbrook is not a good idea, and they probably don't want him to play B2B, so they are picking the second game.

    Feigen's tweet posted on previous page is still most recent news.

    My money is on him playing tonight as a tactical surprise. Going head to head against his old nemesis Westbrook is just too good to pass up.

    Beverley coming back for the Westbrook game would have been amazing

    I think I'm glad it didn't play out that way. Since That Playoff Series, I feel like he always does way too much vs. OKC, to the point of distraction.

    Haha, true. It is both frustrating, but also why Beverley is awesome.

    D'Antoni on Rotation and minutes for Bev.

    Rockets still figuring out playing rotation -- Jonathan Feigen with Tuesday quotes by MDA​

    ----------------------------------------------
    "We're still trying to hunt and peck a little bit, try to whittle down the rotation," D'Antoni said. "We're still looking at it a little bit. Then, we'll have to put Pat in and see how that changes things up. It'll be a little bit of a process for a couple, three weeks and then we'll settle in.

    "Obviously, Pat, it will take him a week or so to get the rust off. But he'll pick up 30 minutes. That's a big chunk of playing time he'll be good at."

    i'd rather him play lillard bc lillard won't kill you with his athleticism...bev will lose both knees trying to cover westbrook running up and down the court

    True - KJ would be a better cover for WB.

    If Bev takes 70%+ of Brewers minutes it will be addition by subtraction at a minumum
