I do not see it with Lue .......I think they would rather ice Harden or Westbrook......they do not need either of those guys actually. The gripe is they want instant success but if you can make the Playoffs which is still better than crash and burn and land below the Play In. You pick your poison on that.
This. I think Clipper's might bounce back. Most of their recent loss are road games. Their recent home Grizz loss was by a margin of 4pts. Just as other teams/fan base under-estimated this Rockets team, I think Clippers could pull wins at home. Their defense hasn't been good, there are mismatches to exploit. That said offense is not necessarily our calling card, so the match up will be interesting. Dillon is being called a lot more by refs, so he has to adjust his aggressiveness, we can't have him be in foul trouble. Kawahi, PG, Harden, there're several guys who foul baits, and can get calls at home. Plus it being an in season cup game, I can see them come out strong. Odds maybe 50/50.
Just came here to post this. Man, Green is the guy you want on your team. Towns tried to get him in a headlock too at the end, but Towns ain't no dawg like Green is.
If Old Man the Traveler Harden can make his shots and Mr. Triple Double can show up..... In Season Tournament P is showing up.
If GSW without Curry (and maybe Draymond, although the NBA will probably let him off lightly, as usual), we win for sure. I hope the Clippers will continue to hate each other - we win. Lakers - Dillon and Sengun love going up against Lebron - we win.
How the tables have turned in 2 months....Clippers would have been the crushing favorite before this season began....now the Rockets are the better team.
It may turn out fine for the Clippers later in the season, but short term that roster construction is rough.
I have the Lakers game down as a likely L. They're going in for revenge, AD is going to be back (unless something else happens to him), and the refs won't let LeBron lose at home against us. We could take the Clippers game (although I worry they're desperate and going to suddenly find their mojo against us) and the Warriors game if Curry is out.
Lmao, the Rox are on some run and teams are losing their players......AD is having 9 and 19 point games......the world is a Dunktronaut.
I had us at 1-2 beating the Lakers losing to the Clips and Warriors....now I have us at 2-1.....with Green out I think the Rox handle GS. DD
