    Yeah Kings are pretty good. Not even surprised by their record. I think they'll fall off to be sure I mean they are not tied for first in the West good but this is certainly a game that can be lost.

    Extremely excited for this game. I don't think I was this excited for a Rockets game since the first regular season game with Chris Paul.

    Wall / Nwaba / Brown
    Harden / Gordon / Mclemore
    House / Tate
    Tucker / Tate
    Wood / Cousins

    After the first 2 games and what Harden is doing... Look at that roster and tell me that isn't capable of a top 3 seed.

    Yes, things could go wrong with injuries but if healthy I would take that roster up against any team in the NBA.

    Why is everyone always talking about Nikolash Jockitch?

    I was excited with you until I read the name House as a starter. Lol

    We should absolutely be able to beat the Kings. But I wouldn’t be surprised if we don’t look “good” for several weeks. Hopefully we have the talent to get wins nonetheless, but we should all be prepared for some growing pains.

    Yeah House has definitely been a weak link.. But I had him as a starter because I'm pretty sure Silas is gonna keep him in there as one. I'm hoping a lot of House's weaknesses can be masked by the superior players in Harden, Wall, Wood, etc.

    Yeah I get it. I think SF is a super important defensive position and we will probably need to find a defensive upgrade there sometime.

    I'm curious to see how a frontcourt of Woods, Cousins, Tucker does defensively.

    Anybody else kinda feeling like this is a must win?

    As ridiculous as it may be considering it’s only the 3rd game of the season, it’s the 1st with most of the team, and these guys have had very limited time to practice and gel on the court, I think the pressure is on to show Harden what the team is capable of and it be a positive.
