    It just means that players who usually score nothing will have to score something.

    We need Brooks, Garcia and Casspi to step up big tonight.

    Has Kobe Bryant been putting needles into voodoo dolls of the Rockets' players? This has been a frustrating season in terms of injuries.

    Which they probably won't.

    I say we lose by 10 despite Parsons dropping 28 points.

    Harden out with a sprained ankle and a bruised ego :p.

    Time for Beverleysanity and Brooksanity. Expect lots of ball movements :).

    What is frustrating is tonight we will comeout motivated and we will win be motivated. They shouldn't need to get smashed the night before to get focused.

    So Garcia starts for Harden? I guess Beverley plays 38-40 minutes tonight. And Parsons perhaps the same thing. Parsons is the facilitator and Brooks is the secondary one .

    I just don't see us cracking 100 points tonight. Without Lin & Harden our turnovers will go down but so will our scoring.

    Really wish we got Millsap.

    The Dwight and Drummond matchup will be intense.

    I'm not the only one who makes comments about Harden. Lots of people made much worse comments than mine, but when it's made by a Lin fan it's a cheap shot?

    Get a life instead of seeking out Lin fans to bash.

    And Harden's ego getting bruised after last night's game is a good thing, it will get him motivated.

    Just found out Harden and Lin are out. Yeah, Rockets about to be dominated. Dwight will try but he's gonna get fouled out by the combined girth of Josh Smith, Drummond, and Monroe. Parsons gonna try but he's too skinny to bang against the big bodies. Jones might make a difference but he hasn't been playing well lately.

    Pop rested his big 3 and they still beat the warriors, we only have ONE of our BIG 3 players out tonight so should be a easy win vs a team like the pistons.

    Parsons, Howard, harden are our big 3

    Lin is part of our big 4 and Harden or Lin out is doable. Harden AND Lin out is rough. Maybe AB has a big scoring night and Pat Beverley can get between 13-20 but the facilitation part is going to be tough.

    Parsons is going to carry the team.
    Seriously, Harden needs to rest up. He's been shooting like crap. If he needs the whole December to get healthy, so be it.

    Parsons is nowhere near 100 percent though. But thankfully, he's on the court tonight. Definitely need him to lead the team.
