    Here is Brett Brown giving the scouting report:


    Basically the Rockets are even without trying the best possible matchup.
    Just swing the ball bellow the 3pnt line and make the open 3s that will be given. Or penetrate and make the cross court pass to the corner for the open 3 that will be always available.

    They really need to win this to make up for that Miami game, or they're probably looking at a 4 game losing streak after the Memphis game. If Gordon's out/limited, that seems unlikely, though...

    For me this is a must win. They have dropped 3 of 4. Two of which were to lottery teams.

    Why do you say stuff like that? DMo is not on the team anymore. Is it some kind of code? It's annoying.

    Tonight will be 18 games in 32 days, which includes dumb scheduling like playing in Canada, followed by a b2b @HOU, then back to "Canada".

    Ridiculous

    Hard game, and a key one. Agree with everyone, if we don´t want to get into a big losing streak, we have to win tonight.

    Don´t like:
    Monroe vs Harrell in the second unit
    Brogdon is a rookie, but has handled the ball well in the PnR
    The freaking size of that team

    Like:
    Harden
    Our 3pt shooting against their pseudo zone
    Beverley vs Dellavedova or the annoying bowl.

    Let get the W tonight guys!

    The Rockets have the Bucks, Warriors, Grizz, and Bucks next. They will be in Memphis against the Grizz who we seem to struggle with because of their size. If we take care of the Bucks tonight in Houston and in Milwaukee next Monday I will be happy with this 4 game stretch.

    I'm really trying to stay optimistic here. We were playing such amazing basketball and I decide to fly me and my gf to Milwaukee next week and got floor seats behind Rockets bench. Now we have injuries to Gordon, sickness with Anderson, no one can make a damn three and we're not playing an inkling of D. Can we please win the rest of our games this week so I feel super pumped about dropping $1600 on you guys?
