    Given the state of Mexico's drug cartels, it's a good thing that the Rockets teams from the 1980s didn't get sent on this assignment. John Lucas, Mitchell Wiggins and company would be returning to the US with bags of cocaine shoved up their asses.

    Except for our last game, yuck... Hopefully having D12 back in the paint will get our shooters back on track.

    Dope. I'm guessing T. Jones isn't traveling with the team.

    Normally, I'd be kinda sad about that as well, but I'll be at home by that time and be able to see the full game.

    Given Dwight is in the vast majority of photo's from the training etc you'd assume he'd be playing.

    Interesting to hear (Bullard on Charlie's show) that Bill and he will be calling the game from the Houston studio... not Mexico.

    Is Rubio out tonight? Should be an easy one.

    I worry about the PF matchup. There PF not named Kevin Love murdered us last year.

    Dheng?

    Yeah, Rubio is out. Thad Young is their starting PF.

    ETA: Dieng is the one who was killing us last year at the 5 when Pekovic was out.

    Gorgui Dieng is the young PF. I'm actually disappointed that he is not getting as much burn as he should. Dude is very talented but only averages 19mpg.

    Oh well, easy win for us (unless we become witnesses to the Corey Brewer Experience).

    I thought he looked fantastic when I saw him play.

    Key to the game tonight.

    Don't beat yourself.

    Rockets should handle by 10+.

    Anyone else still bitter about that GSW loss? That team was a Dwight Howard away from being up 20+ in the third.

    Before the last game we held opponents to 13.8% from 3point land

    That last game was so bad it skyrocketed our average from 13.8% to 27.2%!!!!
