    Exactly lol. Totally expect the Rockets to come out lazy and i'm also ready for a Casspi career game.

    How so? Even if it's a Rockets' blowout, isn't that worth the price of admission?

    No, not to me -- I decided to go primarily because I've somehow always managed to miss Boogie in person. I would've waited and gotten tix for Pelicans on Friday if this news had come out 30 minutes earlier.

    Stop with the trap game stuff

    We have the league's longest active winning streak, tied for 3rd best record in the west, and we get to play the Kings without half their squad

    Just chill and be happy

    That sucks. I don't go to many games but when I do, they're usually playing the Kings, Suns, Blazers and before they traded Harden, the Thunder.

    Odd... This isn't a back-to-back game for them, they have some days off in-between games, the Rockets are a conference rival, they also aren't a scrub team, or at least a team you expect to beat without your star player, and it's not as if Cousins is old or something. This doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

    Was at that game with a few buddies in HS, I'll never forget my best friend telling me that it was game over after Artest hit his shot on us to go up late. I told him never say never! He said it was highly improbable that we hit a last second shot, I told him just to watch. It was an epic feeling to say the least.

    Absolutely, it does smell like a trade is coming unless Boogie is playing on a minor injury and really need some rest

    Planned rest for Cousins? The dude's 26 years old for chrissakes! And I just saw that LaMarcus Aldridge is out tonight too for "rest". This is getting ridiculous.

    This is exactly why this is a trap game, and you can consider this a trap game and still be chill and happy.

    Yeah, but how you seen how much he's emotionally disturbed? You got to be rested well if you want to be emotionally sane.

    Not the worst idea ever. I think the Rockets owe it to the fans to play Harden but I would seriously consider limiting his minutes BIGLY to see how the rest of the team handles the pressure and develops some chemistry sans Harden. Maybe play him 5 minutes in the first 3 quarters and then sit him out the 4th? Maybe.

    Hopefully the Rox learned their lesson from the Nets. Put bad teams away early!!
