    No Clint will make things difficult.

    The Manimal will come out with great force. I expect Tucker to play better too, and Harden also. I do think that Capela's absence will be felt though. I can't predict a Rockets win.

    Difference is Clint could guard Jokic in the post. Faried will have a tough time doing that.

    I think the Rocks will come out seeing red, going for blood. Since it sounds like Chris will sit this one out (nuts!), there will be no distractions from having to continue fitting him back into the team. Harden will score 40+ and the other guys will step up. I'm also counting on Rivers getting over his funk.

    Yup! Gone test far'weed' conditioning up in mile high Denver!

    They located a mile high up in the mountains!

    Jokic has the condition because he used to Russia!

    Rockets W by 8....112-104. Overall though I'm not excited about this team going forward.....not the same team as last year. Just don't have the defense prowess we used to have and CP3 why do you still tease us as if you can play

    Firstly, I’m not sure this “Far-weed” nickname is going to catch on.

    Secondly, Jokic is from Serbia and he’s never played professionally in Russia before. Also Serbia was never a part of the Soviet Union.

    Other than that, Go Rockets!

    DJ is going to neutralize Jokic and make Capela obsolete. 20/10 minimum.

    The most dangerous part of Jokic's game is finding the open shooter or cutting teammate.

    I hope the team doesn't resort to doubling him because that is when he is the most dangerous. Just let Faried or Harden guard him him straight up one on one.

    I want to see a win, because I was so pissed after that Pelicans game.

    That last game against the Pelicans was not my favorite. This game should make up for it though. Go Rockets!

    Rockets have owned the Nugs, but they're going to have to show a lot more than they did on Tuesday night. Faried and Tucker being aggressive on the boards is going to be key.

    The first game against Denver danuel house was the team's second leading rebounder behind capaela!

    Now both players are gone so somebody on the rockets has to step up!

    We getting blown out.

    Killed on the glass. Role players play horrible on the road. Denver will be up for this game.

    Will Barton is playing and he always kills us. Harden will be doubled to exhaustion in high altitude.

    If CP3 plays, we have a chance. if not, we getting blown out.

    Smh this thread is devolving into "House and DJ gonna have big games for the Rockets tonight" when we have neither player.

    What is even Clutchfans any more? :rolleyes:

    Rockets don't wanna see the Lakers in a #2 versus #7 match up. The reason being if they win, they play the winner of #1 versus #8. That means they probably get swept by golden state!
