    I'd be very disappointed if we don't win this.

    But my expectations for this team have dropped significantly lately.

    Kevin McHale needs to realize our team defense is sucks again.

    It's already proved that our sucks defense can win any games.

    So, now the Cavs traded for J.R. Smith ... can they sign Ricky Davis and Larry Hughes? Three-headed - Sixth man of the year - monster ... :)
    J.R., Ricky and Larry ... what could have been. :grin:

    I guess not ... so Rockets win!

    I don't mean to be pessimistic, but another defeat wouldn't be a surprise to me.

    No game is an easy one.

    Maybe the Rockets can avange the Texans name by beating the hell out of Cleveland. Eff the Browns for choking the game late (yeah I know I know don't leave your faith to Cleveland) but still eff them.

    Exactly, both teams are in desperate need of a win, especially the Cavs with all the heat being brought into them (expected) but with the acqusation of Shump and JR could so dome good for them. Rockets need to get off to a fast start like they did against Miami here, we have to win these kind of games.

    Bev will have to be at his best in order to slow him down. It takes a lot of stamina, awareness and concentration to do that. It's not easy, to make a lot of 3's when you have to face that much pressure. Part of the reason, why Ariza is missing his outside shots can be attributable to this.

    Harden should go nuts tonight, nobody on that team can remotely slow him down.

    If Lin can keep his turnovers down and be aggressive in attacking the basket this will be an easy win.

    Rockets are talented enough the roster is good enough. The schedule doesn't matter and who they play doesn't matter... the only thing that's matters is how the rockets are playing.
