    Our backcourt has the clear advantage. Going to need both of them to bring their A game like in the OKC game.

    And LOL @ D'Antoni preaching defense.

    I say let Howard and Gasol get theirs, and shut down everyone else. Don't let MWP, Blake, or Meeks beat you....especially Blake. Let Asik take Gasol 1-on-1, and see what Smith can do against Howard. Even if Smith gets beat, you have plenty of other bodies to throw at Howard (Jones and TRob).

    Put Harden on MWP, and use a combo of Parsons/Beverly on Blake. DO NOT DOUBLE HOWARD OR GASOL....that gives the refs more opportunities to call reach-in fouls.

    If we shut down the roll players LA can't beat us....even if Howard/Gasol go for 50. We need to run, rebound, and just have an average shooting night.

    True that. We can't let Steve Blake go off like he did on the Warriors. Keep the scrubs under control, keep the rebounding under control and we should be able to win.

    Just wondering, but for anyone who's attended the last game in LA, were there a lot of Rockets/Lin fans there? Lin seems to really thrive off the crowd.

    If they are on the run and their shots are falling, disrupt their offensive rhythm by Hack-A-Howard strategy.

    I want Chandler Parsons to go off tonight so the man can get some much needed props from national perspective.
