    Know it's a road segababa but the Rockets have such a deep bench and won so easily last night that I can't imagine they'll be as affected as most teams would be. Plenty of resting the starters late in Sactown.

    Dwi Howard pulled something last night but returned to game even with it well in hand, so I'm assuming he's fine. May wait until game time confirming he's in and pull the trigger on the better team to knock off the soft as hell Clippers.

    Narrow-Eyes has been playing out of his mind but the Clips have a so-so offense and unless Matty Barnes bails them out with 6 three pointers again I don't think their odds of a win tonight exceed 50%.

    Clippers are soft but the Rockets aren't? Howard is the biggest pussy in the league bar none.

    A so-so offense??? They average 107.3 PPG second in the league. 114.7 last 3 games just a shade over houston who is @ 114.3 last 3 games.111 PPG @ home. That doesn't seem too bad to me. I like them to win tonight & probably the over. Just my opinion.

    Should have clarified - No redick can really hurt their spacing BUT Barnes and Griffin have been bailing them out by shooting out of their heads this last week.

    If Barnes reverts to 30% from 3 and Blake stops sniping that 19-footer at a sick 60% then the Rockets should win this.

    Here’s how the Houston Rockets bench ranks league-wide, according to NBA.com:

    3rd in points per possession
    4th in TS%
    5th in net points per possession
    8th in +/- per game

    Valid points I guess but, when the hell was the last time Reddick even played and you have a lot of if's and buts in there. Rockets have had a long haul on the road lately, they must be getting a little tired even as good as they are. Don't get me wrong, I think the Rockets area very good team, i think the advantage has to go to the home team who also did not play last night. We'll see. BOL

    I also think Beverly is the kind of PG that CP3 doesn't match up brilliantly with.

    Cp hates smallish quicker guys that bug him like gnats - Conley, Nate Robinson (ESPECIALLY Nate) Beverly. He also hates big physical guys like DWill and Tony Parker.

    Luckily for him the other 25 PGs he can own - he absolutely feasts on slow guys like Vasquez and Nash and Rubio.
