    Will the refs assume they are managing a game of football rather than basketball again, if we get a good lead?

    I am feeling nervous on this game with the Pelicans the bottom of the division. Know what I mean?

    We have to win this one. We need to snap that first game of back-to-back series lose that we have. Also, if GSW beat Denver and we lose, they will be #5.

    The Pelicans' losing streak is deceptive. They held double digit lead against the Spurs before the Spurs did what they always do. They lost to the Mavs only because of the refs. They are far better than their record.

    Since they always play the Rockets tough and were reponsible for one of the worst losing streak for the Rockets last year, it is suicidal if the Rockets under estimate them. I would be happy with a win whether close game or not.

    An important game since the Thunder will be a toughie as their 3rd game in 4 nights. As poorly as the Rockets seem to have played lately, they have won 4 out of 5(and had no business losing that one in the ATL). So hopefully they can keep it going.

    The only sure-fire way we can win is if we score more points than the Pelicans.

    This means we should (keyword: Should) blow them out early, and sit our starters for the 4th. We need them to rest for tomorrow.

    Unleash Canaan!!!

    Match up:

    Jeremy Lin vs Brian Roberts: advantage - Rockets

    James Harden vs Eric Gordon: advantage - Rockets

    Chandler Parsons vs Al- Farouq Aminu - Advantage: Rockets

    Terrence Jones vs Anthony Davis - Advantage: Pelicans

    Dwight Howard vs Jason Smith - Advantage: Rockets

    Bench: Advantage - Pelicans

    Rockets win by 8-10. We must start running in the first Quarter. Let's go Rockets!
