    We'll convince AD to come to the Rockets without all that obvious tampering.

    Pelicans scrubs (seemingly) always go off.

    Darius Miller, E'Twaun Moore, Solomon Hill, Nikola Mirotic(not a scrub)

    I like our chances a lot more knowing they are on a back to back.

    I think the Rockets this season have the best record against teams above 500 but fail to get for the lesser teams so this will be a test of how far this team has come

    Playing against AD and Randle?
    Capela and Nene have to step up.
    They are always tough matchup for us.

    This ain’t gonna be easy due to matchup problems but if Ennis isn’t playing, we will win.

    AD and JL will destroy our baskets. CC and Pj can't stop them at all.
    I guess AD will get 40 + 20 Randall maybe 20 + 15



    On the other hand, every time their shooter group meets us, it feels like they can always play above the standard, just like the 3rd accuracy of 2K Hall of Fame level.
