    OKC’s defensive rating is ranked #1 in *History* , for 1st 8 games

    Thunder has lot of offensive firepower, but Rockets have lot of wing defenders: Dillon, Tari and Amen, whom we can cycle through on Chet, SGA, and JDub. Good test for the Defense.

    Offensively, when Thunder played Denver, Jokic cooked them for trapping/double teaming him. If they repeat that strat on Sengun, would like to see more passing from Alp. Also if still no iHart, bully them down low.

    They lost last game so be ready for the refs to play a part. I expect another 50 to 25 free throw disparity like against golden state. Rockets will keep it close but fall short… of the double digit win.

    I don't expect the Rockets to win this one, but I do hope they're competitive. Eight games into the season and they have yet to lose by more than 6 points, so they're playing solid enough defense to always be in it.

    Green will now drop 40, and Sengun will score 30. Rockets win 116 - 99.

    Good early-season test to see how we'll do on the road against top teams and elite defenses. Come on, guys, let's not screw it up.
