    Rockets put up at least 130 points. Harden is due a 40 point game.

    Durant lights us up no matter whose court he is on.

    Sucks that Eric Gordon is back, otherwise this would be a pretty easy game. I just really hope that we win because I hate it when the Rockets lose a game I attend - even if the tickets were free.

    Vasquez just got player of the of the week and Gordon is back. Anderson and Davis are in good form while Lopez shouldnt be underestimated either.

    Although our record is far superior, I dont think it will be all that easy.

    No such thing as a "trap game".

    Vasquez's best shooting game from 3 was vs us. We need a jeremy Lin revenge game.

    This is a game the Rockets could lose if they don't take these guys seriously.

    Sergio Vasquez is the Western Conference player of the week.
    Eric Gordon is back and a legit 20+PPG scorer when healthy.
    Robin Lopez is a 7'0" presence in the paint.
    Anthony Davis, the #1 overall pick, is a rebounder and shot blocker deluxe, while his backup Ryan Anderson is a deadly shooter from distance.

    This Hornets team is well-coached and plays hard every game. They're also blown out less than you'd think. That 7-24 record of theirs can be deceiving. Nevertheless, it would be jarring if they somehow beat the Rockets in Houston.

    Hornets lost 13 of their last 15 games. Let's make sure they walk out of Toyota Center tomorrow with their 14th loss.

    Their frontcourt is going to create some matchup problems for us. Both Lopez and AD are good rebounders. Anderson is going to stretch the floor with his deadly outside shooting (5 for 10 from downtown tonight). Our boys need to play good help defense.

    Having said that, I see another blowout win for the Rox.
