    Trap game

    Thon Maker goes for 40. Morey weeps about not trading Capela for him.

    So Anderson is good to go this game? Recovered from the stomach bug? We need him....

    Look for Harden & Ariza to possibly have an off night. Explain later.

    Transition defense. If we can stop the greek freak from going nuts we can have the W.

    Looking forward to Beverley vs Dellavedova, that match up still owes me.

    Expecting 40pt triple double from Harden.

    The Bucks are much tougher at home. They've been reeling lately, losing five in a row, and are desperate for a win. Let's deny them.

    Reportedly he's feeling much better and has been able to eat again. So he's expected to play tonight.

    haha good memory!

    Not a big deal. But Ariza and Harden flew out to Chicago after the Memphis game & hit the club with Lawson, Matt Barnes, Cousins, Taj Gibson etc. Supposedly around Cousins and Lawson most of the night according to a friend of mine who works there.

    Recruiting Cousins?! I hope.

    SOURCES!

    a) Boring game
    b) Rockets get blown out by a top team
    c) Trap game

    Round 2 of the @malakas special!

    Glad the Rockets are at full strength with Capela and Anderson back in the lineup. Rockets need to pack the paint and force the Bucks to beat them from outside.

    The Rockets may catch a couple breaks on this road trip. I just read that Avery Bradley is out all week for the Celtics. He's their 2nd leading scorer. And Joel Embiid will be out the next 2 games and possibly longer(the Sixers' next game after these upcoming 2 is against the Rockets).

    After being benched, expecting Jabari to bounce back as a starter. And someone has to guard Giannis who matches his height, that means no Gordon or Beverley.
