    If Rockets win can we finally put to bed the long debate of who is the better coach between Pop and Silas?

    If we lose this then we deserve to lose the #1 pick to the Spurs.

    For sure this weekend will be 1 win each. The NBA would be absolutely embarrassed if these games ended in scores like 56-54 after double OT.

    Play for real and let the NBA refs do the rest.

    Actually, game 2 could get interesting. Let's say the Rockets man up and win game 1 tomorrow night and sense the refs trying to force another win game 2? Things could get reeeeeeally sloppy.

    Or the Rockets try to go full tank and lose both? Game 2 they just call phantom foul after phantom foul on San Antonio and the Rockets have to go like 4% from the free throw line on 58 attempts?!?!

    Folks, this is a prime tanking showdown. This is basically the Superbowl of tanking.

    Oof..... I live in Austin and my buddies decided on this game right before the season.

    Oh well.... we'll still get drunk and try and hook up with San Antonio's famous BBW....

    My guess is that Kevin Porter Jr. will be out due to gout or something, Tate will have scheduled rest, Sengun will be just fine but will play limited minutes because that's just what they do with him, and Smith and Green will each play the entire game...

    The last time we played them, they rested everyone and we stunk.

    To call this a mid-off would be disrespectful to all things mid.

    Going to the game

    I saw Harden live three times and Houston lost all three. Even to a young Booker Suns

    Need KPJ & Green to show me a W tonight

    Could this be one of the lowest scoring games in history with both teams in full tank mode trying to lose?

    Funny thing is this is probably the biggest game since 2019 for the rockets, and it’s a must lose

    Nix has to play major minutes too. There is also a high probability that the inept Rockets could win despite trying their best to lose.
