    Why would D-Mo need to play himself into game shape? He played on the national team, summer league, preseason, and has played a lot of minutes so far this season.

    D-Mo should be further along than just about anybody...

    No injuries, please. That's my #1 hope for the game.

    I don't have NBA TV, you need to purchase it separately.

    I'm not feeling good about this one. Perkins has Dwight's number and Ibaka has Harden's, I'm predicting a very very close game.

    Yeah, I'm nervous about this one too. The Rockets have real problems in that arena. But this is a game they absolutely should win if they play hard and execute. The Thunder are a poor offensive team without their stars.

    It would be great to have both the Grizzlies and Rockets at 9-1 heading into tomorrow night's showdown.

    lol

    This game is tailor made for Canaan, Papa, Dmo, to show their stuff. OKC will be throwing everything they have at Harden and Howard. Lots of fouls all game. Starters should be resting by the 4th.

    OKC is no joke, way too much pride on that squad

    They nearly beat Memphis a week ago, so the Rockets better not fool around.

    We really need to win tonight, because regardless of the outcome tonight, tomorrow will be a tough test. Don't want to go 0-2 on this back-to-back

    That's fine. No need to run him out there for more than 20 minutes with Canaan and Terry available, Westbrook out for the Grizzlies, and Memphis on deck for tomorrow night.

    Black is back, that's the best news. Can you imagine Dorsey going at Adams or any other big man of theirs??

    Beverley should just get some back-up minutes and then start afresh in Memphis!

    Are we gonna have to watch OKC's broadcasters?


    I think Michael Cage is the analyst for OKC. I'll only watch if he is still rocking the curls.

    I can't remember the last time the Rockets failed to put away a clearly inferior team, so we should be fine.
