    Almost every team gets a convincing win against the Cavs. Don't you hold your breath though. We might only win by a few points but a W it shall be!

    Should be a blowout victory for Red Nation Rockets.

    If the Rockets lose this game they have serious mental/preparation flaws.

    The Cavs are probably the worst coached team in the NBA. They have no offensive game plan. They only run broken isolation plays and virtually all their attempts are from the perimeter. Defensively they are terrible in transition and have no post defensive presence.

    This is about as easy a game as the Rockets will have all year.

    DO NOT LOSE IT.

    Is Harden playing? if so, how will our offense look post Chandler comments and after 2 games of pretty good ball mvt and balanced scoring? Either way I think we win this one.

    even if hes okay to go i wouldnt mid seeieng him sit, which would give him a full 10 days without playing and going into the all star break he could be in the best shape since last year

    If he's healthy, he should play. It's not like the rest of the team isn't dealing with nagging injuries and most of them are out there on the floor(well, aside from Asik).

    Bennett will be the scrub that goes off against us...

    ...but it doesn't matter, because we'll still win.

    lolz you mean the number one overall pick gets his best chance to confirm that he is really the number one overall pick by going off on us big time?

    There should be a dedicated thread for this: Scrub who has career day against the Rockets; who will it be this game? It does seem like it is always somebody that hasn't scored four points all season, their whole career and they go for forty against the Rockets. Our defense must really suck.

    Yep...this is the prototypical trap game pretty much...

    Rockets always run right into these traps too...

    There's one around here, just hasn't been bumped in awhile.

    FWIW, my vote goes to CJ Miles. This will probably be the game he breaks the 3 pt record he set earlier this season.

    Agree completely.

    James is a far better player when he is rested and banged up.

    I doubt it. While I agree with you that we allow scrubs to set PR's against us, Bennett is the worst player in the NBA right now. He has no idea where to be on the floor defensively and when to help. Offensively he literally cannot catch the ball in transition and he regularly misses layups.
