    Pacers with the 29th slowest Pace in the league.

    This game will give us a good idea of what we want Hartenstein to be when he grows up and turns 22 like Sabonis. Sabonis underrated on defense.

    That said,

    GO ROCKETS!

    This will be a difficult game. If Chris Paul shows up, we should be able to win. If he lays yet another egg, it's going to be a loss. He's gotta be more consistent.

    Game 9 will tell us a tremendous amount about this season.

    Rockets lose a close one. Sabonis goes off for 40 points vs Clint "Got Rich, Stopped Trying" Capela.

    Sabonis has a smarter look.

    Despite leaving MCW in Chicago, he books his own flight to Indy...but D'Antoni alerts security and he's escorted out of the arena. Rockets win 105-95.

    Rockets win a BIG ONE. Chris "Enough is Enough" Paul teaches Clint Capela how to have heart

    Sabonis can really get his shots in the paint. We will finally see if the Rockets defense has tightened up the paint protection. Otherwise be prepared for a 9-11 20+pt night for Sabonis.

    BOTH CP & Harden have to have strong scoring games like the Laker game. Can't have a CP dud like the Bulls game. Though I think he was pretty tired from the B2B and carrying the team vs the Nets.

    Too bad Gordon couldn't play in his home state but something needs to be done with the Gordon/Melo pairing off the bench. The coaching staff needs to figure out how to use them both because both are used to being the main scoring option off the bench (well Gordon is and Melo believes he is that guy)

    Melo has played well the last few games when Gordon was starting or not playing. I think they both get lost on what they should/shouldn't do when playing together. Not sure what the staff will do. Gordon has not played well at all this season which isn't helping his case.

    WIN. If the Magic (2-7) can beat the Spurs (6-3), why not us :) Harden likes to play in big regular season games, but MVP is MCW.

    I'll think tonight we will see some Ennis on Oladipo and put to test his defensive prowess. His Ariza level defense.

    Pacers are a good team, we will have our hands full tonight. Let get one game at a time
