    If that happens everyone else is standing around and probably doesn't contribute. Not sure we want one sided distribution in points

    I want to see Dwight stay on the floor and out of foul trouble

    Why is this game on Tuesday instead of Monday? Way too long for Rocket basketball!

    (After all, Game 2 of GSW - NOP is Monday...)

    We already have our two big losses in D-MO and Bev. You add those two with our current roster, and that is a real contending team, just short of the talent from the Warriors.

    #LettucePray Dwight can play 30+ minutes. If he can, I'm cautiously optimistic we can handle whatever they might throw at Harden.

    Got to protect home court, the advantage swings to the Mavs big time if they get a win here.

    Agreed, but we can survive D-Mo and Bev being out for now and possibly moving forward. Dallas has to out score us and without Parsons/Harris, they won't be able to for 4 games (chances are slim they can do it with them). At least we have Terry/Prigioni & Jones/Smith/Capella; Dallas will have to go with Richard Jefferson and Raymond Felton.

    Must come out with fire, not complacency. If we go full tilt and don't relax we should take care of these losers no problem... but this Rockets team has been known to let off the gas at times. Harden needs to take the reins, be a leader, and fire up the whole team.

    I think they start splitting up the games so they have one every night maybe.

    Got to jump on them from the start. They were able to steal a game on the road against the Spurs last season after Carlisle made some adjustments.

    THe lower bowl fans need to put on the damn rockets shirt given to them. At the Warriors home game, all you see is yellow.

    I hope if the Rockets have happy feet in practice after game 1 McHale tears them up like Rudy did in 1995.
