Two of the best teams in the land face off. The key will be how Tony Allen contains Harden. Ariza has also had a tremendous start to the year. We need to shut down Harden and watch threes from Cannon and Ariza. They appear a bit hobbled right now.

Another thing to keep in mind is that the Rox have struggled to close out these last two games against PHI and OKC. Anytime teams struggled to close out for wins, a lost is just right around the corner.

Hoping for a injury free game for both teams. I am hoping the Rockets come out strong. I dont think we win this though. Recently you guys have been too much to handle and with only Dwight as a decent big man, surely z-bo and gasol are going at dwight tonight to get him out.

Looking forward to see the two best centers in the game duke it out. And of course as a vince carter fan i hope he won't be limping out there, the kings game was the only one so far where i barely saw it and that turned out pretty good. A poster dunk over howard would be perfect but yeah... highly unlikely to put it mildly.

Absolutely killing it as of the third. Tony Allen has been super aggressive on Harden and the bench has produced. Strong 27 pt lead right now. Koufas has been active. Courtney Lee and QPon have hit three pointers all night long.

Leuer creating an extra possession and Udrih hitting a leaner to close the third. Total team effort to extent to a 31 point lead. Runaway game here....

Leuer just dunked it with aggression. Koufas is all over the floor - playing backline defense, rebounding, tipping the ball to teammates. Great performance by him.

Great game! so much energy from the bench (udrih,koufos, leuer) I wish they keep that level.

First rockets game i've seen this season and i have to wonder how in the world they only had 1 loss so far, that offense looks horrendous. No flow, just iso after iso. I'm guessing it was an aberration. Anyway, great game for the grizz obviously. Courtney lee has proven to be a much better shooter than i thought before the season. I knew he was alright but this is just absurd. Another big game for koufos, pondexter was good, basically the whole team stepped up this game.

And of course you know i had to post this.

That was done a great masterpiece. The Grizzlies caught the Rockets at the right time. The Grizzlies went to work from the start and never looked back. That's how you win games.
