    Harden has struggled against the Grizzlies for a while now because of their depth of wing defenders.. This is the type of game we really need to be hitting our 3's because we sure as hell not beating those guys on the inside with a frontline of Gasol and Randolph.

    Tough game for various reasons mostly because Gasol is a load to contain most of the time but he is playing at a level right now that might be career best.Not sure how we can limit his out put. Anderson at the 5 to force him to comeout the paint might an option to try....

    I have zero idea how we stop Marc Gasol. He probably goes for 30+. Need big games from Anderson and Gordon.

    I've got this one down for an L. Very bad matchup for the Rockets on both ends of the floor. I agree Gasol will probably blow up.

    I actually don't want Marc Gasol out for this one. I want to see how we size up against them at their full health in their gym.

    We lose by double digits if Gasol plays. Trezl isn't ready for him.

    Even if Capela was healthy, Gasol and the rest of Memphis is such a tough matchup for us up and down.

    Dang a lot of you guys giving Memphis major respect.

    There not the same old grit and grind. They've been a negative point differential for over a season now.

    There just a middle of the pack playoff team.

    Rockets got this

    Pasons told Pat Bev on his Instagram live feed last night that he was playing. Pat jokingly said he'll tell coaches and everyone to arch out for his pump fakes.

    I knew it - EGo is Jesus' white twin.

    Can't let Chandsome beat us, just can't. Rox win by 20.

    This should be a fun game to watch, dudes body is ready for it. Got some light yoga in today and will hold off on my normal smoking activities because I want to watch the game and analyze some of the plays more. Grizz are a potential first round matchup for us so its time we unleash the Mike D to them that they haven't seen before. Most important thing for the Rockets tonight will be to limit turnovers and easy baskets for the Grizz. Let's showcase our new offense to them tonight in a way that stimulates the minds of their players and coaches, and causes Parsons to retreat to his twitter account and safe spaces and stuff.

    Go Rox!

    This is going to be a tough game. No idea how we are going to stop Gasol. He might score 50.

    Don't see us winning this but hopefully I'm wrong

    Tough game, Memphis finally got everyone healthy.
    We need an strong shooting night for this one and big bench contribution.
    Another playoff level game.
