    Hopefully we're making shots.

    Getting Cousins and/or Davis in foul trouble would be nice.

    Yeah, I hope Gordon can hit more 3's like he did in the All Star competition, and get back on a consistent streak. As for the rest, well play smart, no careless turnovers, and let it rip, right through that hoop. Go Rockets!

    I don't see the 'Lickens bigs meshing all that gracefully right off the bat. A well-rested Rockets roster plus Capela bringing his nuts to this contest should net us a W.

    Agree with those saying AD & boogie won't gel well to begin with, but that doesn't mean that the excitement of a 1st game from a huge signing means a loss either.

    Capela to make Boggie in the Brow obsolete single-handedly

    However DMo to torch us with low post scoring, passing off the block, 3 point shooting, box outs and positional defense

    Should be a win... they'll need time to gel and teams that make big moves like this mid-season usually struggle the first couple of games.

    Week off should be a huge boon to our team.

    The Rockets have only played the Pelicans once so far. Lucky them they have 3 more to go.

    Jordan Hamilton 2.0 is locked in doghouse the whole game. Rockets fans are pissed off after the loss.

    Oh my goodness. With all this talk about Cousins and Davis, I completely forgot about DMo. Now I am scared. DMo is coming. DMo mad. DMo wants revenge.

    Normally you'd expect a team with booger and brow to dominate the broads. Unfortunately I don't see us missing that many shots!
    Rockets with the W!!!

    Gordo won the 3pt contest in NOLA just last weekend.
    Let's hope he can win another one ;)
