    Are the Rockets allowed to play games? These gaps between action almost seems like it's the offseason.

    I'm sure there'll be a large stretch of exorbitant B2B's before season's end that screw us.

    The only advantage of "offseason" is the extra practice time for a young team with a new coach, but even then, these gaps might set the "gap record".

    I wonder who Brooks will be assigned with guarding first. I'm guessing PG.

    If we don’t start back up again soon with the dribbles, the passes, and the shots, then I may have to retire down to Del Boca Fiesta…Del Boca Siesta…Del Boca Vista!

    Why Rockets are equipped to extend James Harden, Clippers' misery

    It has been a tumultuous stretch of games for the Clippers. At this point, Tyronn Lue and his squad of former MVPs and All-Stars are searching for answers. The offense since Harden arrived has been abysmal, averaging just 104.3 points per game and 22.5 assists as a team, each of which are dead last in the league.

    Regardless, expect Udoka to utilize switching as his secret weapon. With a vulnerable interior, it's a golden opportunity for Alperen Sengun to have a monster stat line. Although Jalen Green went 1-for-13 against Denver's tough perimeter defense, LA's perimeter defense of mostly Harden and Westbrook is leagues below the likes of Michael Porter Jr. and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. This should be a bounce-back game for the former second overall pick.

    Interestingly, the Clippers can put an All All Star lineup on the floor and are still losing. What can we learn from. that?

    Harden is going to be up for this game. This game is going to be tough for the rockets. I could be wrong, but the streak ends.

    Agree. Feels like a trap game and Frauden is looking for his first Clipper win. I'll be ecstatic if we win though.
