    Rockets will be better off with Asik in this game. Howard can't handle the Clips' athleticism.

    I guess keeping asik isn't so bad now :) poor bev, I hope he take his time to recover. Don't want it to affect his future. Without bev or Dwight we going to need jones and demo to step up.

    Great, so Howard is having nagging ankle issues three weeks before the playoffs. I swear, the Rockets have the WORST injury fate.

    Somehow, I get the feeling the Rockets will step up in this one though. It's just one of those games...I get the feeling Harden is going to drop like 40 tonight to make a statement. I just hope that JLin makes CP3 play some defense. There is no doubt CP3 is an elite PG, but he's also such a dirty player. I hope the refs don't his BS tonight. If they do, then Lin may very well end up in foul trouble and end up being a complete non-factor.

    We might as well just sit Howard until the playoffs. Have him practice with Hakeem and CD on the side.

    This team looks locked into that 4 seed with Beverley out.

    No Dwight, no Patrick - shoot, I was looking forward to this game. Asik and Lin will need to step up, Rockets still are a formidable team.

    For those who missed it...

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Just talked to Dwight Howard. Says he will not play next 10 days due to L Ankle. Clippers meet Rockets tonight @ 5 on Prime Ticket.</p>&mdash; Ralph Lawler (@Ohmeomy) <a href="https://twitter.com/Ohmeomy/statuses/449935435729354753">March 29, 2014</a></blockquote>

    He's the play by play announcer for the Clippers, and followed by Marc Stein and Daryl Morey. Guessing he's legit.

    Was already a loss with Beverley, Dwight & Greg Smith out. Now it's going to be a blow out.

    Now that beverley is out fir the season, do thunder fans still hate the rockets? Do their players still hold a grudge against us?

    Damn, Dwight out for 10 days now. Well I hope Asik sets some crushing screens on CP3 and defends the rim with his verticality.

    My guess is he returns for the home game against the Pelicans. This is probably a precautionary move after what happened to Bev.
