Thanks for starting/fixing the game thread!

Glad that it is not a back-to-back. They will have another challenge with the resurgent Bulls. Dwight will need to establish control of the post early in this one.

Will be interesting to see if Hamilton or Garcia gets more minutes. Or maybe it's Casspi's turn?
Or will we see a lot of Twin Towers this game since Asik has been pretty good against Noah?

Yeah, I don't know if the Rockets usual game plan (best defense is more offense) will work against these guys with the way that they are playing lately. This is a team that our guys can't play from behind.

This is one of those games I'd like to see the Rox put 120+ on the board.

I love early games, catch it on LP in it's entirety a bit later and be able to go to bed on time :)

I'll miss some of the 1Q but I'm not of fan of being second on TNT.

This game needs to be a W.

I hate TNT games. Between all these early games and daylight savings time i'm all screwed up this week.

Man, I can't stand these early games!

Another sleepy start, I see.

Rockets struggling to score early need more touches to Harden.
