    Eh. Pull a Pop and rest a bunch of players. This is likely a schedule loss anyway.

    Yeah, this will be a grind, not really worth to spend that much into such a physical fight.

    I do agree that if we have a choice, it’s better to let it go.

    Anyone notice the reduction of back to backs? Yeah, me neither. Anyways, as long as BS doesn't affect us in the final 2 minutes, we can win this thing. Rockets, y'all!

    Damn no EG...who's gonna play then? I guess Ariza and Luc will start, Troy will get some minutes this time...he was cut by Memphis, should be motivated to do well...

    Welp, with no Gordon or CP3, the guys are going to have shoot well today if they want to win this.

    Harden has a chance to make a statement tonight.

    I think we have to do everything we can to win this game. Grizzlies are looking good and we really don't want to be down 2-0 to them in the series. Could be the loss (or win) that determines playoff seeding.

    Start Capela, Anderson, Ariza, Mbah a Moute, Harden. Hope against hope that a bench of Tucker, Nene/Black, Bobby Brown is enough to get us over the hump. Or start Brown instead of Mbah a Moute, though that really hamstrings us at guard positions off the bench.

    I remember in game 1 against the Grizzlies we had a really strange but effective lineup in the 2nd that included Nene or Capela playing with Anderson and Tucker (Big Ball) for extended minutes to great success.

    Then, as is often (maddeningly) the case, we never went back to that successful lineup.

    Those three guys can play tonight (at least Capela, Anderson, Tucker) and have success against Memphis' bigs.

    Let's not throw in the towel before the game starts. We can still win this with Ariza back.

    He certainly does. And he's due for a breakout shooting game.
