    I want to see a lessor team try GSW's approach of limiting fouls on Harden, then he goes off on layups. Like to see if the Media then says, "Man, you gotta play Harden more aggressively and take your chances with the fouls or he'll murder you."

    I don’t get the feeling that Harden rests much. I think he works hard to maintain this latest trend on a daily basis.

    Lillard always plays the Rockets well. And Portland has a good home crowd. I just hope this isn't a hangover game after the emotional win in Oakland. And yet...Harden. You can't doubt the guy at this point. I think he has another 40+ point game.

    Portland will be on a B2B. This is a very winnable game even without CP3 and EG.

    Harden's road stats vs Portland last year:

    48 PTS
    16-29 FG
    4-7 3PT
    12-14 FT's
    8 REB, 3 AST, 3 STL

    42 PTS
    13-25 FG
    5-7 3PT
    11-15 FT's
    6 REB, 7 AST

    I expect another huge game from the MVP.

    Blazers on a though home b2b so maybe that gives us an edge. Hopefully OKC can make them work their butts off, won't complain if they go OT.

    Its crazy to me that bk looked better the ennis last night lmao. Guy is just trash. Like he better not take any knight mins. Never thought i would say that. But i think bk is starting to trust his knee more. He didnt get super better. But i saw positive progress with him
    Ennis no hope. N i just hate his gambling style of play. Harden is the only guy that can do "lemma let me defender blow by me n then steal it cause ima genius n that was my play all alone" type of defense on this team. Period

    I love that Portland is playing tonight prior to Rockets tomorrow. I hope Westbrooky runs them ragged.

    Increase our chances of continuing the streak.

    Rockets just won against the Worriers at Oracle under pretty much the most difficult circumstances possible.

    Conventional logic would indicate the Blazers game would be a win. They don’t have all world shooters and hall of famers (although they do have a plethora of scrubs that could go off inexplicably).

    Rockets win it with defense and rebounding.
