    Rockets have been fortunate in having the "hot hand" in 3pt shooting in the previous Wolves games. Obviously hope that continues. BUT, when the Rockets go cold, and it will happen, really want to see how the team responds with 1) their defense 2) finding other ways to score aka CP3's medium range jump shot.

    It would be nice to see the Rockets have a game like the 76ers had yesterday. AND it was good to see the Pelicans result to remind us that we have to take these opponents seriously.

    Speaking of the Pelicans....that game is exactly why I was glad the Rockets didnt get the Pelicans in the 1st round. They have been playing well to close the season.

    I'll be concerned if the Rockets as a team go cold. The T'Wolves are a bad defensive squad. There's no excuse to struggle offensively against them.

    The only thing I'm worried about is the Wolves athleticism .

    I've been watching some of the other games, and I'm seeing that with the focus and effort dialed up , ones athleticism plays up .

    The wolves are more athletic than we are . We can get into trouble if we turn it over , or if our skill (like shooting ) goes cold .

    Hopefully the rockets are ready to turn it up .

    Not having Luc ( and possibly ryno ) is an obstacle for sure , but JJ and green could step up .

    Oh , and look for Eric to destroy . He's had a nice break
