    Of course he is...injuries everywhere! This game is already tough without him and I don't expect us to win if we don't hit our threes.

    Can't wait to see CP3 back in action.

    In the mean time, let's hope Rox remain unbeaten so they can struggle later. I'm hearing they have the horrible curse of pairing two all-world PG's, something the pundits say has zero chance of working out. Y'all know quite well by now: like, non. Don't let the wins distract you from that.

    I see we're trying to store up our injury luck for the postseason by relentlessly getting hurt early on. Bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off.

    Clinty can't play soft. Get him some early lobs to fire his ass up. If he shows up we should be good.

    We got lucky with him last season given his injury history. Hopefully this isn't a lingering problem, especially with Chris Paul already out.

    As for the game itself, it's gonna be tough without Paul and possibly Ryno. The Grizzlies are no joke this season.

    Memphis is one of those teams you know won't go far in the postseason but will give ANY team problems during the regular season. They can literally beat any of the elite teams on any given night, based off their defense & grit. The Rockets better take this team seriously

    The Grizzled are always a joke. Thorn in the side at best.

    Anderson questionable. Lower back pain from attempting to grab a rebound last game.

    Tell that to the Warriors who got spanked by them the other night.

    BTW, I heard Ryan Anderson hurt his back lugging his trash can down his driveway.
