    Absolutely I agree.. or they can use this and say, see regular season doesn't mean a thing, since these bottom feeding thunder team is 4-1 against super elite teams.. so obviously rockets regular season doesn't mean much either.. I really wish rox can swat them like warriors did, but obviously doing that in OKC would be a tough ask.

    It's going to be much harder on their home court with their enthusiastic fans. Having said that, if we are near our best, and make fewer mistakes, we can win. Go Houston Rockets!

    This will be another tough game, but I see a victory in our future.

    Rockets by 7.

    This was the bench totals for the Christmas Day Game against OKC;

    P. TuckerSF 29 1-4 0-1 0-0 0 4 4 1 4 0 1 3 -10 2 pts
    N. HilarioC 14 2-7 0-0 2-3 2 1 3 1 0 2 2 2 -5 6 pts
    B. WeberPG 18 0-2 0-1 0-0 0 1 1 2 2 1 0 3 +1 0 pts

    I expect a different production from bench tonight. Go Rockets!!

    Yeah, EG had to start in place of CP3. And he played well, scoring I believe 20 points. But now he can return to the bench and give the reserve unit a boost. Plus we didn't have Green that game. Those two alone could boost the bench production by 30+ points.

    Mark my words, Westbrook will come out tonight and try to drop 60! He will play possessed and with the crowd I hope we shut them all up!

    Looking forward to this one!

    Some games just mean more than others. Recently, we're 4-0 in those types of games in this streak (@ Spurs, @Cavs, @Clippers, vs Celtics).

    This is another one of those games, and probably the one I would hate to lose the most. Don't let me down team!

    CP3 and EG are going to have big games...I think Harden will defer a little bit due to PG13 guarding him. However, without Roberson on Harden, expect it to rain 3's especially since Green will likely get some burn (we all know what happens when he gets hot)

    Result:

    Statement win 115-87 Rockets....

    Melo trying to score a lot of points is exactly what we want...he’s incredibly inefficient and just isn’t a major threat on offense anymore

    Melo has yet to score 30 or more this season, and I doubt tonight will be the night he finally does

    I hope Melo takes 18-20 shots...chances are he’ll only make 6 or 7 of them
