    I am going to this game.

    Center court, lower bowl!

    Look for me, I will be the one wearing a Rockets shirt.

    Lin is going to have to play more cautious.

    That is going to affect his game.

    This Bev injury... really really sux

    Would have no reservation in going full on Pop here and resting the starters w the exception of Jones

    I have a good feeling about this game. TJ has been playing well as of late and Harden has been on an MVP run recently. Biggest test will be Howard with his niggling injury and the rest of the bench especially with Bev being hurt. Also we tend to get into foul trouble early with these guys because of all the flopping and good at selling fouls...just need to be conscious of that early so it doesn't limit us in the stretch of the game.

    I really have not been that impressed with the clippers as what most ppl have been raving on about, there record is a good indicator of where they are at (about level with us) and we are due for a good game against them.

    If Howard out, and Bev out. Might be tough. But i feel a big game from TJ/Lin/Harden.

    In the 3 games against Clippers this year, Harden's numbers are 15 points a game on .340 shooting. If Rockets gonna beat Clippers, Harden gotta show up.

    I'd chin check Paul right away. I think Canaan could sweep the legs and upper the bottom jaw but make it look only like a flagrant 2 if possible. You get rid of the flopping early in the game and the Rockets have a clear chance.

    Best, most likely scenario...

    Beat the Clips and maintain 4th spot at season's end.


    Regardless, Bev's injury has got me down because it limits us playoffs-wise. Hopefully Canaan steps up.

    I don't know about how you guys feel, but this might be the game to use the Twin Towers and clog up the paint. I would start Basketball Jones, but I would also quickly rotate Asik and Howard on Griffin Force..in order to win this game we must control the boards and keep Cliff Paul from penetrating at will. I would also throw a bigger body on Paul like Jordan Hamilton.

    Let me ask you question... who were the starting guards the 1 Time the rockets beat the clippers in the past 2 seasons ?

    Hope I don't see Jones take it in the rear from Blake all game again...that was painful to watch.
