Fully expect McHale to McHale and go small ball to close out the 4th only to get destroyed on the boards and have Harden bail him out. You know just typical stuff. Predict Harden finally goes off efficiently.. 38 pts on 47% shooting. Rockets win by 4
I thought Dwight was only sitting back to backs? We want Dwight to be back in rhythm come playoff time and that #2 seed! Don't feel comfortable about this one tonight.
Harden will explode for 40 with 20pts from the FT. Cousins will realize he is no fit for the Kings and quit the team to join the Rockets by the 2nd quarter. DMo will suddenly learn how to box out and grab rebounds and Dwert will dance on the sideline.
man, it sucks to see harden struggling with his shot... i really hope the team finds their groove heading into playoffs nervous about this game...first time playing the kings in the george karl era right?
i loved the kings games from last year...harden would go on a tear and just sit the fourth...might not be easy with demarcus playing... hopefully no one random like stauskas goes off on us
I much prefer Dwight to play tomorrow against the Mavs than tonight. I want that sweep. But I bet Cousins is licking his lips right now.
He is, but he's missing the front end of the B2B. It's a big gamble by McHale, since a win tomorrow at Dallas doesn't mean much if you lose tonight. But I guess if you want something positive to cling to, the Rockets won by 13 at home earlier this season against the Kings in a game that Dwight, T-Jones, and Bev missed and that Cousins played but Rudy Gay didn't. We have almost the same situation tonight, only replace T-Jones with D-Mo and add Smith and Brewer to the bench(we were relying on the likes of Cisco back then).
