    It is definitely a must win. They are expected to lose. Winning the 1st game of the season against a good team with one of the superstars that many here covet would go over very well.

    To bad D-Mo isn't here, I'd loved to see him tell Howard, "Catch me if you can". Might have been interesting.

    I noticed D. Howard has a nice little off the backboard jumper that he likes to do, but he can't make that all night. Keep him out of the paint. Make him a jumpshooter most of the night. I have seen both, Hill and Thabeet play well against Howard in the past. So possibly not having Dalembert should not be a problem.

    Tis a must win situation for the rockets. However, if they lose, they must win the next game!

    quick question, who's our captain this year, as Battier and Hayes are both gone?

    its a very winnable game to say the least. Howard played like hot garbage so I bet he has something to prove.

    Coin flipper.

    I'm guessing Lowry. He deserves it.

    Mark my words:

    Ryan Anderson is going to KILL us. Scola always struggles with these mobile, perimeter orientated bigs.

    LOL, Dude I don't even think you believe this :grin:

    Most likely scenario, Hill and Thabeet get in foul trouble against Dwight.

    I don't know about must win, but it's at least a must tie.
