    OK, so probably not going to be a boring win, but still a win. Go Rockets!

    Why isn't this game on ESPN? Media Conspiracy?

    just as we get advance notice of which players are going to be out, imo it's also nice to have a heads up about how the game is likely going to be called.

    pat fraher is another horrible ref like the one you mentioned, tony brothers. it's pretty clear who the horrible refs are, particularly with regards to how they call HOU games and harden especially. that being said, i think the officiating of our games has actually been much more even/accurate the past month (even with the horrible refs) compared to the first month of the season, when we were getting jobbed game after game. and perhaps not by coincidence, i've also noticed that during this recent span we've also had a fairly easy schedule referee-wise. i'm hoping that doesn't end up balancing out in the playoffs where we get a mauer, brothers, foster or lane, etc every game lol

    I legit might fear this Raptors team more than the Warriors. They are top 5 in both offensive and defensive efficiency. I didn't watch them last game against us but I hope the Rockets get up for this one. It's all mental makeup from here on out, can't remember a stretch to finish the season this brutal and the Rockets are just coasting through it.

    This would be the most impressive win of the season by far. If Harden and Paul bring it I like our chances, but last couple of games one or the other has been off.

    One last statement win, and then I think we should start resting some guys.

    We are in the midst of a ruthlessly congested schedule (13 games in 22 days with 9 flights). I've never been too concerned with the home court thing. I want guys fresh, so I think a few well placed DNP's should be in order.

    My main pregame comment is COVER CJ MILES. Don't want him draining 3's on the Rockets.

    They straight up destroyed us on both ends earlier this season. We're gonna have to play our best to get a W here.

    Willing to bet most of those games were noon games in Toronto. I always remember the Rockets played them on a weekend in the daytime aside from a few instances.
