    They've moved James Johnson into the starting lineup. I'm guessing he will be smothering Harden all night.

    This is our last real home stand with 5 games in a row, we must start it with a win and must find our defensive identity again

    There is no identity without Howard.

    DMo can't block a shot.

    I think tonight you should look at the difference in our offense when Harden is out of the game and Prig is running the offense.

    I think you will notice a better offense.

    They key to the Rockets is getting Ariza, Bev, and Terry in less creating situations.

    let Prig and Smith run the offense.

    Papa hasn't been playing much since Jones got healthy. Jones was sick for the last 2 games before the ASB, so Papa played. Jones was healthy last night, so Papa was only played in garbage time. It's not Rocket Science (haha get it?!)

    My body is so ready for Pablo.

    KJ's mom will have to wait. She can't pressure McHale to giving the "young guy" PT right away.

    who would have thunk James Johnson from our Vipers could be a good rotational player in the NBA

    while we trade away Daniels, Canaan and drop Covington

    I'm expecting KJ's mom to run out on the court and bring out her inner sassy black lady

    Then I'm expecting Dorsey to jump out of no where and tackle her

    McHale just said Prigs and KJ probably won't play, so that's disappointing.

    James Johnson is very Lebron-esque in his movements. I can't be the only one who sees this.

    Not surprised with KJ, I guess. But no way he doesn't play Prigs if Bev has a horrid game. I'm going guess Lowry is going to want to prove something tonight.

    Can't believe that... What good is practice anyway on this team?

    He has to play Prigs at least. KJ if we get blown out.

    We need a practice so McHale can show them how to stand around and watch Harden on offense

    Yup. With the way we have been playing, any help would be good. Hell I bet KJ would protect the paint better than Dorsey
