I can't argue with those facts. I want to see us win because we really need to get into a rhythm going into the playoffs. Suns are a team we should beat and Harden is the best player on the floor. We should be seeing a Rockets team that is playing more mistake free disciplined fundamental basketball. I know we freestyle and I have no issue with that I just hate dumb turnovers and a bunch of missed free throws.
That would suck if Ariza didn't play. Brewer can start in his place, but that really hurts our depth.
KJ can give us the same thing Ariza can if he plays under control(which is poor three point shooting, good defense, and poor ball handling)! I think Brewer with the starting line up will be a positive.
Finally getting to go to a game this year. I don't think the rockets have ever lost when I've attended. Hope to keep the streak alive.

But missing our entire starting frontline(Dwight, T-Jones, Ariza) would be a big disadvantage. Harden will have to have another huge game. And Terry will have to step up if he plays tonight. We can't afford one of those 0-4 performances from him if we're so shorthanded.
I think Harden should spoil us and go for 50 again. Time to pull away on the MVP train. GSW is winning games when Curry is shooting 25% and without Klay Thompson. That's a talented squad. If James is having a tough game, they are going to have trouble beating anyone.
I think James goes off again. He likes the PJ Tucker matchup a little too much. Plus PJ tucker is a ninja turtle.
PJ has declined as a defender these days. It seems that James had trouble figuring him out and now he has turned that corner. Next he has to learn to breakdown Wiggins and Dipo.
