    Clips are below-.500 since Blake returned, so with Paul still getting back up to speed I think this is a relatively good scenario for the Rockets to bounce back after that Indiana atrocity, but definitely a tough game still. Have to bring it.

    This could be a busy night for Sheriff DonKnock of the doubter regulators. Both the Rockets and Clippers have a tendency to blow big leads especially late in games.

    Please please please win this one.

    That Pacers loss still gives me a disgusting taste in my mouth.

    D'antoni pls. don't play Harden-gordon-williams at the same time!

    Williams should be the PG when he's on the court and should be handling the ball like he does on the Lakers. Don't know why Beverly always handles the ball for Lou when they are on the court at the same time.

    True. I think that Lou has the best ball-handling skills on our team
    He's smooth with the ball. Great at PnR. Wouldn't mind seeing him run our 2nd unit

    After the debacle against the Pacers, a laugher would definitely cheer us up considerably, no pun intended. Having said that, I'll take a nail biter if we can overcome the maddening turnovers that are an on going curse, a never ending journey into the outskirts of Hell for a Rockets fan.

    How can we reel off a tremendous stretch of basketball during a game and then fall into a routine by the Marx Brothers that gives up a big lead? It's a mystery as deep as the origin of the meat in Daryl's Sonic chili dogs. You don't really want to know the answer. You just want them to be good. That's the Rockets for you. A mystery wrapped in a bun and swallowed by Daryl.

    Harden has a flashier handle, but Lou's is very deliberate and fundamentally efficient. Harden uses way more head fakes and misdirection moves.

    Haven't looked it up, but I'm quite sure Lou would have less turnovers per possession
    Doesn't seem to dribble off the other players' foot much. lol

    Chris Paul is about the only player I can think of that can get under Pat's skin. Not by being tough, but just the opposite. Paul acts like he's been hit by a truck anytime Bev puts pressure on him.

    Good thing is if the refs fall for it, he now has to chase and guard Lou and Ego.

    This is actually a huge game with regard to the 3rd seed. The Rockets and Clippers only play three times this season, so a win tonight would give them the tiebreaker and leave only Utah as a realistic threat to overtake them.
