    I am right there with you on Luc. In fact I feel the Rockets should start Luc and Ariza at the forwards. The defense and the versatility there is nice. And really with Anderson's spotty 3pt shooting, how much of a drop off is there really with Luc there shooting? Doesn't feel like a lot, and then you get all of the defense on top of it. Not to mention Luc will run the court on fast breaks so you get that too.

    Paul
    Harden
    Ariza
    Mbah a Moute
    Capela

    I admit that I was concerned with Luc at the 4 from the start, however this indeed is the best combination that we have. I just hope Ryan wouldn't take this as a demotion, if MDA makes this change. Ryan can still be useful off the bench.

    Either that or Griffin and Paul were jealous team captain rivals. There's no way a team with CP3 and Blake Griffin doesn't make it to the Finals in 4 seasons.

    Bzdelik is not good. That's all I'll say about this game.

    Dragic was going off but Jeff decided to stick Luc as the primary defender on him and we saw the results in the 4th quarter.

    Denver - The Rockets should win this one, especially if Ryno and EG suit up.
    Dallas - Should be a cakewalk. The Mavs suck, plus they play the night before at 7:30 with this game tipping off at 6.
    @ Minnesota - The only tough game before the All-Star Break. If the Rockets are at full strength(or even sans Ariza), I give them a coinflip's chance of getting this one.
    Sacramento - A rough B2B travelling back from Minneapolis, but the Kings suck and they'll be on a B2B as well.

    Shouldn't be worse than 3-1. 4-0 is doable though.
