    I would say Howard not getting in foul trouble would be more key.

    Also, think the injuries comeback to bites. Need Bev's defense against Curry and Jones out hurts our already awful depth at the position. Thankfully, Lee is out.

    Heat - 1st real test
    Spurs - 1st real test
    Warriors - 1st real test

    When is the 2nd real test going to come?

    Anyway, Rockets 10-0 to start the season.

    We lose by 15 this one.

    No Jones/Bev won't bode well for this team this week.

    First- t jones is not a world beater so we will be ok there. Patman being hurt is a big deal. Everyone else must elevate their game, move the ball, protect the ball, and play some mother fawking D.

    I say we win by 10.

    We just need to play defense. T.Jones can score but lots on average defenses. As a team rockets can score period... especially at home. This game comes down to defense and good shooting.

    This has the highest chance of being our first loss of any of the upcoming games easily. Beverley and Jones being out is pretty crushing when you consider the backups. Although Canaan is improving a bit but Motiejunas is just terrible.

    Howard/Harden have to be on top of their games for us to win.

    We don't necessarily need Jones.

    Not having Wolverine on Curry will suck, though.

    Not too concerned abut the loss of Jones. Bev is the bigger one. However, if we play solid team (help-defense) I think we will be okay. Stay positive, guys.

    We will come out on top. I have a feeling Canaan is gonna go off in this game as a surprise contributor.

    I kinda disagree, we do not have one offensive threat from the PF/C spot outside of Howard if Jones is out.

    Plus, not having Jones means DMo plays more, which is never good news.
