    Yes, they can shoot and make 3's. But not known as prolific 3pt shooters
    Their games are typically inside. I expect us to be mauled in the paint.
    Brook Lopez single handedly took us apart in our last meeting with Brooklyn
    Gonna be a dunkfest in our paint I'm afraid

    True - I was more lamenting the fact that not only will we get killed in the paint by their version of the twin towers, but that they can stretch the floor too. We're going to have to out-gun them.

    They will be tough in the paint and I'm sure we won't have many offensive rebounds this game but I do think we will crush them on the ast break and we should get plenty open looks.

    Just let whoever Cousins is guarding set screens for harden. That will be all we need o do all game.

    I'm honestly predicting a 10+ point win. Partly because I think the team is rested and ready to go and just more talented than the pels but also because it's going to take the cousins/Davis pair time to figure out how to ops together. Two bigs with high usage is a strange pairing.

    Not saying it can't work but it will take time to gel together.

    AND IT'S IN NO? Sell out crowd is gonna be PUMPED because of Boogieman/AD front court.

    I am guessing Boogie plays for them and Williams is still in LA or he sits on the bench because he hasn't practiced with the Rockets.

    Not a fan of short shorts, but Harden can pull it off.

    My thoughts go out to Bobby Brown

    With no Tyler Anus and Kevin MCDonalds, Brown has to do all the towel waiving, cheer leading and keeping seats warm...

    All reports have said unlikely he plays tonight. We'll be a little think for sure with no Brewer, no KJ, no Ennis and no Lou.

    Our guard play should be able to win us this game. Stay hopeful.
