    I'm ok with that, he is better than people give him credit for.

    His game against Dallas was solid when he had to step up

    No Gordon for us.

    But Batum is out for them.

    This should be a winnable game.

    Bench scoring nada.

    Ennis
    Brewer
    Dekker
    NeNe

    Who is our 5th? Do the Rockets go small with Brown or use Onuaku? Mike will have to manage the rotations.

    I suppose Ennis will see some time just like he did when Bev missed a few games. As for bench scoring, it'll have to come from Dekker, Montrezl(or Nene depending on who starts), and Brewer. And the starters will have to pick up the slack. They cannot get off to another slow start where the spot the opponent a double-digit first quarter lead.

    The good news about Gordon being out is that Brewer gets more shots. You my boy, Brew!

    I remember when the Rockets bench scoring was abysmal and the worst in the league. Gordon solved all that, so we really need him healthy.

    No Gordon is a big blow but we still have the MVP. 35/10/10 for Harden in a 12 point Rockets win.

    I'm scared of Kemba.

    If anyone has Photoshop skills...

    He's questionable which basically means a game-time decision. My suspicion is D'Antoni may give him this B2B off and hope the rest of the guys can hold down the fort. Then bring him back against Memphis.

    Not that I'll complain if Gordon insists on going.:D

    onuaku and/or wiltjer should get some playing time--i'd like to see that. I guess (p) Ennis will fill in more at guard tho.

    Cody Zelller and Nic Batum are out for the Hornets. Cancels out Capela and Gordon in a way.

    Actually, probably not old enough.

    Anyone who thinks of New Orleans when they hear the word Hornets is probably pretty young.

    They need to rest Eric Gordon for this game. They can't afford him to lose him for more games. He is one of those guys who gets one small injury and turns into a bigger injury if he doesn't get the rest he needs.
