    Due to the All-star Game and a break in the schedule leading up to it, I believe the Rockets are in-line for some of that December dominance. Just started a 3-day break followed by 3 games every other day then another 3-day break, 1 game, then an 8-day break. It's about damned time.

    Morey's schedule better be busy as hell, though. No rest for you.

    Morey will make a small move that everybody will scratch their head over and possibly a guy who can contribute next year, but I don't expect anything anymore from the February deadline. He hasn't done any significant move during the season since the Patterson for T-Rob & Garcia in 2013 and Garcia was a throw-in so we got lucky he did well for us come play-off time (the target was T-Rob) and it was a gamble, not to get help. This is the time for Morey to show his value.

    Better go 4-0 in this stretch

    We should do it considering EGo is back stroking it and Brew is back to being to not being a total headless chicken

    the next excuse will be they didn't play for too long so they need time to get used to playing

    never underestimate the brew's ability to turn it on in a second and suck to high heavens all of a sudden

    You're right, season is clearly over, Trade Harden Harden and Gordon for picks, let Brewer run the point.

    sure it'll be 4 games in 18 days, but if the rockets lose any of those games, its because they are tired! And still suffering from playing the most games and weighed down by the media & nba conspiracy against them.

    Rubio and the rights to sign undrafted players in the upcoming draft.

    However, Rubio would be moving to his natural position as a center because Clint is not a center

    sitting third at the All Star break is brilliant considering how many people wrote the Rockets off

    Honestly, they would probably want to do harden for rubio straight up, but I think I could argue my way into a few late picks.

    Actually after reading your post and looking at the Rockets plummeting chances of making the playoffs the offer has been raised to Harden and 4 firsts for Rubio

    Let's see if we struggle people blame it on being rusty.

    I know, right. I hate it when the talking heads say that about teams who win first round 4-0 facing a team that went 6 or 7 games. "They're going to be a little rusty." ugh

    For the first few games maybe true
    but not after the first 5
    We won't fall into that

    If the 3 point shooting comes back you won't even remember what rust is
