    The Rockets are going to finally make life tough for Aldridge by putting Asik in first.

    Aldridge wouldn't have hit the shots he hit if it weren't for the world of confidence he gained from the wide open looks he got early.

    Hopefully we run our offense around Harden and not Dwight, so that our shooters Lin, Parsons and Harden can get into rhythm early.

    Imagine if we still had Patrick Patterson. He would be a good match against Aldridge.

    I like Bev, but if he can't do anything to stop Lillard and goes 40 minutes with only like one assist, then, I say, either start Lin, or give Lin more minutes. Bev provides little if he's not a plus on defense.

    Lillard was 3/14 at one point during the previous game...Bev is doing just fine on defense.

    Well...I guess at least they're doing something different. We'll see what happens, but it all depends on Harden showing up.
